Geeez a kidney or firstborn for a used lift?? You must be pretty hard up! LOL I have worked all these years without a lift that if I had the money for one there are a lot of tools I would get first.

yup... or pay a shop. Since my back is starting to act up, paying Dave is becoming more and more likely. Or buying a lift, to make things easier.

Yep sometimes paying to get something done is just plain easier then trying to tackle it yourself and taking forever to do it or never get it done right.

I would love a car/truck lift would save a bunch if time ($$) and effort and easier on the body. Really gets old laying on your back, not as good leverage and hard on your neck bending up to see
