Ha! Great minds think alike. One day my wife and I had a very -- shall we say -- "animated" discussion.

I was in the middle of getting the car off the jack stands. She came out to the garage and said she needed to talk about something urgent. As it turns out, we have very different definitions of the word 'urgent'.



I think she's on board with the idea now.

The lift has small wheels that help with moving around on concrete.

Excellent. I'm happily surprised to learn that you were able to do an engine drop. I just assumed that it wouldn't be enough height. I guess removing the bumper provides enough clearance?

So, I pick up the car using seam welds slightly more inboard alleviating the interference.



I've really like having it. Oil draining, CV joint replacement, muffler replacement, heater back date, are some projects that come to mind.

I keep them on the ground and pushed together for storage. I keep a car parked over them at all times so I'm not "losing" foot print.

That picture is a great help! Now a follow up question. Do you have A/C lines? I was looking under the car thinking about where the lift points would line up and I was wondering if the A/C lines will possibly interfere?

Mark, lots of good info especially about the SUV adapters. Thanks. I noticed that QJ has blocks with a groove in them for cars that would be lifted at the pinch weld. I have one car (MB E350) that looks like it may need a different type of adapter. Need to do some research on that but it looks like the SUV adapters might actually work.

(I do the same as oldspool has shown in the diagram above)

Love it!

Appreciate the feedback!
