Default Kwiklift is In!!

Well it finally came in, all 600 pounds of it. I took it out of my truck piece-by-piece and it's in the middle bay ready for assembly.

I'm just trying to figure out why I order Yellow?





The quality from what I can tell is great. After I get it assembled I'll post some more photos with the Vette on board...

There is no better tool for the arsenal than a lift!!!

Congrats dude.. Let's see how long you can resist the urge to just sit under your car and clean the bottom!!!

(I am weak like that)

Default Your going to love it

Congratulations on your yellow Kwiklift. I think yellow is a great color for the lift.

My I suggest, I purchased some 3M 4" wide anti skid tape on a 60' roll on ebay. Covered the center rib from end to end. It works great and sticks well. It come in handy when your tires have a little wetness to them. Came in handy for me working on the wife's car getting it up the lift with those skinny tires on her car.

Check out ebay for anti skid tape. Here's a link to one I saw... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/3M-Sa...spagenameZWDVW

FYI, c5firstimer

That's a great idea! I know I would have discovered just how slippery this surface was but before I drive on it I'll pick some of this up..

Thanks for the tip!

Great! I'm interested in seeing pics of the lift in action. I too am wanting to get a lift. Not sure which one I will splurge for or when, but hopefully soon!
