Excuse the mess and the dirty car, but I had to try out my new lift. Works like a charm. It goes higher, but I need to remove the antenna first. No more crawling around on the floor for me.

What's that next to the weed wacker? Now you need a Nogaro Blue car to match the lift.

It's the hydraulic pump that operates the lift.

Default I've been thinking about one for a while but don't have a lot of headroom.

This is considered a "mid-rise" right ? Can you work under the car too or is the lift in the way ? I'm thinking like exhaust, trans etc..

Default You can work under the car, easy access to tranny, but not sure about the exhaust.

I'll take a look. I just tried the lift for the first time tonight.

Cool license plate too. I guess it's a special order, right?

Default Here is a link to the same lift.

<a href="http://eagleequip.com/page/EE/PROD/LI-LM/602-002">This is the lift I got</a>

However, I bought it from a reseller for less. If you want to, I'll send him an e-mail and see if he has a better prize than the link below. He is located in the southeast. Shipping is a big cost, it cost me $340 to get it to Seattle, WA. It's VERY important that you get the right one (PMR-6000-48), because it's JUST big enough to reach the lift points, if you have an A8L you may have to get extensions.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-EAGLE-6-000-LB-MID-RISE-CAR-AUTO-LIFT-48-LIFT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43998QQitemZ459779 4301QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW">E-bay Link</a></li></ul>
