The floor really looks amazing.
Well, the whole garage looks amazing, but, ya, the floor really
sets it off.
Cant wait for next summer when you can do mine.

Wow.

My garage is dusty, cluttered, and full of stuff, most of it my kids bikes, outdoor toys etc.

I would like to drywall and insulate it some day.

Give me another 5 yrs.

Wow, that's sweet! Congrats

Question about these types of lifts (4post); how do you take the wheels off to do any servicing? Does it have adapters? Or is it for storage and oil changes only?

Jakob,

You can get hydraulic jack pumps that slide on the inner part of the direct lift. They are an additional $695.00 each (you need 2, for front and back of car if wanted)

I opted out till next year...need more funds

1st you raise the lift about a foot.
The wheels just insert and cotter pins hold them in place.

You don't leave the wheels on all the time as the ramps won't lover all the way to the ground.
They're just for moving the lift.
Direct Lift is the 2nd example.

I have the optional scissor jack. Works well especially for changing tires on my DD.
I posted many photos of the assembly previously.
Don't know if I'd ever get2 of them because how often do you need all 4 wheels off the ground?
And if you do, simply lift one end, put in jack stands and then slide the whole jack to the other end.

I agree with you, not a huge need for two scissor jacks. I will most likely just get 1 of the scissor jacks next spring. I could have really used it when I was working on my car for a month this summer.

Sorry Wil, I think you misunderstood my question. If I was to do a brake job for example, how do I get the wheels off the car to access the brakes?
