RB26powered74zcar Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I know I'm going to hear "it don't lift high enough" and the like, but I don't have much of a choice. I bought This MaxJax Lift knowing it's better than crawling under the car on my back. I like it cause I can put it where any other would not fit, and I can remove it when I'm done and put it in my small shop I have. Heck, I can even loan it out to a friend....

datsun723 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 How much do they cost. It locks pretty cool. At least 2k Not a bad price though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 How much do they cost. It locks pretty cool. I paid $2,199 shipped but have seen them for $2,000 plus shipping. I will be able to do any thing to my car with it that I need, so I'm excited and anxious for it to arrive. I have a ton of goodies waiting for me to install, and this will make things so....o much easier to install now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 That's awesome! I'm 6'7" and I can't stand upright under a full height lift anyway. I'll have to remember this for when I buy a house. Why stand when you can sit? Nigel '73 240ZT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why stand when you can sit? Nigel '73 240ZT I would have to lift my car through the rafters to be able to stand under it. I'm 6ft. Sure would be nice to have a tall enough garage to be able to do this . Nice lift. I'll have to make do with jack stands for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 I wish I had a place to put a full size lift. I found one for $1,388 + $145 shipping. Oh well, like I said, this will do for any job I can see myself getting into... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xonix_digital Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Cant wait to see how these install! I had my eye on the same set. I think most of these kits have Garage floor thickness regulations so I am going to have to investigate to see if I can get them. Post up when you get it installed.

RB26powered74zcar Posted June 8, 2010 Author Share Posted June 8, 2010 Still waiting on delivery. I've never had this long a wait after paying for something. It was on back order though. I'll update when it arrives.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB26powered74zcar Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well, my MaxJax lift arrived today. My next door neighbor helped me slide it off the 18 wheeler, into my pick up truck bed, then I drove it under my car port to un assemble the package. I have it 99% put together to where it's read to wheel out side and drill the holes into the concrete. There is quite a bit of nick knack stuff to be . They send all the hydraulic fittings for installation. At least most have Teflon tape already on the threads... I will follow up with more pics once I get it bolted down and raise my car up.

Mike kZ Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Very cool! What's also nice is, if you have a concrete driveway, you can set this up outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I wish I had the room to set one of those bad boys up! I have a 3/4 car garage (you can barely get a car in there and then open the doors about a 1/4 way)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Joel, I feel better now knowing I'm not the only one on hybrid with a wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) Well, a little progress to show. I got all the holes drilled for one tower, and fully installed it. The other side will get drilled this eve. It's already 98 deg out side with 100% humidity... I will be changing the canopy cover this fall, to a wider/taller car port, so I can lift the car to the lifts max height (53"). As for now, I will prolly only get 3 feet or so..

deja Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 That looks tempting. What is the ground clearance on the arms? Since I installed the side skirts I only have 7 1/2". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
