Phil,
I bought one of the first ones they sold and they gave me a big discount because I let them use a picture of it with my Cobra on out in their sales brochure. I still use it all of the time and it has really been great for working under the cars with. I don't have a high enough ceiling in my garage for a regular 4 post lift and this was a great answer to my problems of getting under the car. I see that you have the bridge on it also.

Ron,
Actually I have two that came with it. They sure come in handy.

I love mine too! Have the 2 bridges and installed the LiftLyte LED lighting system. I also don't have ceiling clearance for a 4-post so this works just great!!:cool:

Nice lift Phil. Not a bad looking car either :)

Rather than using a bottle jack to get it up on the bridges, I went this route.
About $250 if I remember right. Works awesome and you can put the jack stands under both sides at same time without the hassle of moving the bottle jack. Quick and easy!:cool:

That's another hot tip that Lippy just showed. 3M non-skid tape on the ramps. I did same and included a strip where you get in the car. They can get squiggly if you come home with wet tires.

Sorry, I meant as shown by Rdoneym. My bad.

Excellent point. I should extend the outside strip to the door area.

The bottle jack fits on the bridge fine. The jack is 20 ton air/hydraulic ($100) and does the job. I used it this time to raise the the lift so I could put 4x6's under the legs to raise the whole thing up a little higher for my annual spring cleaning.
I have two of those air bags on my truck that you show in your video, which is very cool.

Bernica,
I know you were the guy who turned me on to the Lift Lyte, thank you :D
I just meant that patrickt loves his LED's, like on his self-made third brake light. Take a look at Pat's Cobra at his local night time car show...

I want to get one of those, but was wondering if it was a hassel driving up that ramp every time you came back home.

Not at all. You just need a dedicated area in your garage because it is heavy and not too easy to move around. |

I have the optional casters on my lift. With them in place, I can push the car around inside the garage or out into the driveway, without having to let the lift down. Very convenient.

How does this differ to having a ramp with a pivot about half way, so as you drive up, it will teeter, and also be up in the air. Like they use at car yards.

I also have the sticky tape like they use on the houseboats here to keep people from slipping when it is wet. When I went to the bid April car show here they were trying to put a Super Bee on one for people to see and it kept slipping as the grass was damp. I told the woman what I had did and they went down to the hardware store and got some and the problem was solved. Then I looked at their book and there was my Cobra on mine. Mine are now 20 different colors as I use them to paint stuff on when the car is off. I also back my car onto the ramps and I got some silver tape and ran a strip down the ramp so when I keep the rear tire just along that strip I am on them perfectly. Then I put a cross strip at the top where I wanted to stop.
As you can see mine have b een used a lot and aren't nice and clean any more.

The air bag idea is something that I hadn't thought of.

Not at all. In fact, when I'm just parking it and know I will be taking it out again soon I just leave the rear down. Drive up, park and walk away.:cool:
Wheel chocks are a good idea too. |
