I understand why people hate it (looks like every Mercury Sable or or Buick Park Avenue that you you've ever seen), but I think it looks good on e30s. Maybe less so on an e36s...

patsbimmer1 Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 For my own peace of mind, can someone please tell me... This looks like a terrible idea right? Like, it just seems unnecessary.

That is until I saw my friends work. They detail cars and use these "Costco" jacks and he swears by them. They do PDR, vinyl wraps, and full detail and ceramic coatings.

straight6pwr Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 that see-saw lift does look like a terrible idea. and i don't think many cars would have suitable lift points right in the center of the rocker panels. my neighbor installed a lift in his garage that only lets him lift his car about 40" off the ground. he's old though so its mostly to save the body from strain.

REKIII Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 I know the see saw lift would smashe the nose of most of my cars, and the rear of the lotus. Dumb idea. Most modern unibody cars have a 'frame rail' type structure along the edge that would allow lifting there, especially spread along the rail like this does. Getting cars partially up definitely helps for everything but actually crawling under, it only slightly helps that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

straight6pwr Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 basically that, except imagine a big ass Roadrunner on the lift. and a small 2-car garage. and he's wearing orthos, not nikes. the glasses are right, though.

patsbimmer1 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Lot's of changes for me lately! I quit my job and started working for National Tire Wholesale last week as a Business Development Manager and am training in Chicago all this week with them. I love it so far and it seems like it's going to be far less stressful with a higher ceiling for me. Good news is this means I can unload a little more in my Retail Customer thread! I also need a new company vehicle which I get a monthly allowance for. As of right now my wife and I are looking at new campers this year so I'm looking to get into an F-150 for a company vehicle and to tow the camper. I've looked at a couple '19 XL STX's with no success and all of them have kinda been what I want. I found an '18 XLT that comes a little more loaded than the XL and has the Sport appearance package.
