Lift installed
 

I recently purchased a used Rotary two post asymetrical lift from a local company that inspects, services, and installs lifts. I had planned to buy a new lift from Greg Smith and install it myself, but after looking at the used American made lifts this local guy had, along with the parts availability, I decided to go with the used. I had his crew install it and ended up less than what just the Chinese Greg Smith lift would have cost. They installed new cables, sheaves, and it had new sliders in it. Had to double up rafters and remove joists in one bay to give me cathedral ceiling height prior to install.

Wow, I was half way through the first paragraph before I figured out that the lift was the 2-post, and not a suspension lift! LOL, The lift looks great, I have been looking at getting one for years, but I have to build a shop for it first...

Congrats! and that's a clean blazer you have hanging on it too!

I thought the same thing then when he mention sheaves and pulleys I figured it out. Either way an American made lift is better than Chinese.

I ended up doing the same thing. I had intentions of getting the atlas 15K lift at Greg Smith in Newark DE whe nI came across a 9k lift right here in town. Guy was moving and had no room for it. was like brand new and got it for about a grand. Got one of the blazers on it now. Your blazer is still looking good. Hope one of mine gets there some day.

That's exactly where I was going to pick one up on my car trailer when I visited my daughter (she lives in Newark DE). I was just going to get a 9000lb overhead. Yours will get finished - if you stop buying trucks:lol: How many are you up to now?

Coffee is on (or beer cold).

How far is that trip for you? I liked the atlas lift and it seemed rock solid i just didnt havethe bills to lay out for it at the time, then I happened on the one I did end up with. I am still a little leary of the 2 post lift when I have my dually on it but with the support stands front and back I make due.

I have actually started to get back to business. I stripped the black 71 down to the tub and frame. I may have the green 72 sold. Guess I will know for sure when I see the money. LOL

Been meaning to ask ya how the cap decals are holding up? It was my 1st time messing with it.

Re: Lift installed
 

It's about 400 miles. We usually visit a couple of times a year and they get up here 3 or 4 times. We are going to have a new grandson come January, so we will be driving down more often so says the wife.
The decals have held up really well and look like new. I have actually had a few people notice them and ask where I got them. Take care.

Re: Lift installed
 

Thats funny, my son ends up by you, and your daughter ends up by me. Congrats on the grandson. Let me know when you pas through, maybe we can meet up

Re: Lift installed
