Nice.

No better feeling than doing something yourself and friends to help.

Looks like 2.5 manpower did 90% of the work

Yeah, my son is 21, he was there for the heavy lifting only.
My friends son Brian actually helped a lot but he had to leave early to pick up his girl.
That left us with 2 manpower for the rest of the day. Oh well more beer for me.

Very nice Steve, can't wait to try it out. I noticed that Keith was always lifting from the middle of the posts/rails. I won't let him live it down. Congrats on the new lift.

Cannot purchase direct. Their web site will give you a list of dealers near you.
I cannot list the dealers name since they are not a Forum vendor.
If you would like the dealer I purchased mine from shoot me a PM.

NICE! I know you will enjoy it. My sons and I installed my lift about a month ago. It has given me an empty bay which I am enjoying, also.

Looks great!!! I was looking for the empty beer cans in your pictures. Didn't see any, but if I did, I'm guessing they would be A/B products.
