So I just ordered a Max Jax !!! Just like the title says, Just ordered a Dannmar Max Jax.
Anyone else have one of these? Looks like a great lift. I chose it because I have a 2 car garage that will need to store 2 cars also in the winter, this way its not in the way when I dont use it.
First project will be to pull the motor and take a look at the bearings to see whats going on with my oil pressure.

I checked around various places, all were with in $50 of eachother. There is a $135 fee for a liftgate truck, $40 for a residential delivery. So I paid $2400. I figured it will pay for itself in about 2 years of repairs. This year alone when I didnt have a garage I shelled out $2000 for repairs which would have cost me $600 on a lift.
You will love having a lift in your home garage. I must say having one in mine has more than paid for itself. The jack stands live out in the garden shed now. You do get spoiled tho. I don't want to do anything without the lift.
I have pretty much wanted one for about 10 years, just got a new house with a 2 car, the motor problems kinda put things into perspective as it costs so much to have people work on it. It would be around $4000 to have someone fix the motor, new bearings and put it back together, this is from a sponsor.

you are nuts if you think it will take two years for it to pay for itself. i dont know about you, but i work on all my buddies cars for free and my lift was worth it on the second ring and pinion swap. F*CK laying on your back. i am spoiled as sh*t now. you'll find a lot more "friends" that will want to use it. oh well sure you'll love it.

Installed Well I finally was able to get the lift installed. Rented a rotary hammer and drilled the holes. It took a couple hours to drill and set the anchors.
So far I like it, its a little scary when its 48" high but I will get used to it. As you can see from the pics i had my garage door raised about 2 feet to put it up on the ceiling and I moved my lights and corded outlet out of the way. I have 10 ft ceilings. I could have went taller but I wanted it to be portable and there isnt anything out there.
This will come in handy as I need to take my engine out to do oil pressure problems.

Ive had people work on my car, one time they didnt adjust the wheel cylinders up so i had no back brakes when I drove away, the next time they didnt do new brake lines all the way up to the master, only half way. Im sick of people screwing up my car.
So I started working on the car today removing the engine from the bottom, worked on it about 2 hrs and now wondering why I didnt by a lift sooner. Its so much easier. I just sit there, look up and start removing everything, tons of light under there so you can see.
