[DeTomaso] MaxJax 2-Post Portable Lift

[Dick Koch]

Stephen, no room for a 4 poster, and have limited headroom.  Even with
something like the Dannmar 2 post "portable" lift, i will still have to
raise the garage door to get the max 48" lift, which I want so I can at
least sit on my work seat under the car.

As shown on my rebuild diary on Mike Dailey's site, doing work on the car
on jack stands is one big pain in the ass.

If I had my druthers, I would prefer the drive-on 4 poster lift. But such
is life.

Thanks for your comment.

     Now that Asa has added some positive and constructive thoughts on
     this forum, I would like to get some thoughts on a lift I am looking
     to buy to use in working on my Pantera (more like finally repairing
     it).

     The lift has been discussed many times on the forum. However, I
     would like to get some current information on folks that have
     installed the lift to work on their Pantera.
     As a reference, I have a two car, one double wide door garage that
     will not accommodate a full height fixed installation lift, or 4
     post lift.
     Questions/Recommendations
     1 - quality issues, such as hydraulic fluid leakage.
     2 - vendor response to any product issues.
     3 - lift installation problems/techniques.
     4 - installation tips that relate specifically to the Pantera, such
     as it's
     40/60 weight distribution.
     5 - post tilt under load
     6 - distance between posts necessary to allow enough room to open
     doors to "comfortably" work on the interior. (Yeah, I know that is
     an oxymoron)
     7 - accessory and additional modification recommendations
     8 - recs on sources to buy the lift, or not to buy.
     Also, are there any other manufacturers to consider with a similar
     configuration?
     Thanks in advance for your input on a car related topic.
