And she knows some of the real names behind the site names. Lol. And I wouldn’t have a problem if she did that. It’s better than having it go to scrap. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dtret Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I didn’t know where the stuff was then and I sure don’t know where it is now. But it looks better. Lol. But now I have more room for more stuff. That I don’t need. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Searsman Posted September 16, 2023 Author Share Posted September 16, 2023 Finally got nerve to raise the 71 on the lift!.. got a lot done to it this past two weeks underneath.. had been a few years since I had laid on my back working on it on a cold concrete floor. This sure makes it nice 👍🏻 Yes, I know. , it doesn’t qualify for stock or street, :). Or who knows what. But I like it 😊 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to graduate to a 2 post next year 🤞 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so too Ron. I poured a new floor and made provisions, don't think I'll find one as nice as yours for that price 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searsman Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Yal, fix it day , again. Never ends. My gmc Sierra stereo just didn’t sound right. Come to find out there’s no sound from left channel rear of front. Left dash works . I figured mice !. Ugh.. but I googled it and seems to be a common problem. Speakers go out. So I decided to research that first instead of wiring. Take drivers door panel off and sure enough, speaker 🔈 no continuity. Same with rear door. Ordered and they be here Monday. A pain to get to , to replace. But I like good music! 🎶 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marks71 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You sure got a killer deal on that lift. I ended up with a 4 post a couple years ago. I realize they they take up a considerably more amount of space but I had the room. Mines a little overkill because it had to be physically large enough for my crew cab dually which got me a 14000lb lift. I have a caster kit also. Parking a vehicle on the lift almost makes up for the lost space. Being so close to the San Andreas fault out here in California, I would never leave it raised for car storage though. It is a rock solid lift. The photo makes it appear much larger in relation to my shop than it really is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tire rotations, drive train troubleshooting, lifting bodies off frames, etc., plus the versatility of many other lifting opportunities make it more useful as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have been able to do all the jobs I did without that lift. One of the best investments I made in that shop. I did 2 clutch jobs on my back in the first couple of months after I moved there, decided right then a lift was going to happen sooner, rather than later as initially planned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
