No please! Forest fires are a real thing. Those flame thrower lights would burn a forest to a crisp.

Thanks for the idea. Will do that.

The last photo isn't showing the perimeter foundation footing of at least 12" below grade and the rebar plus the two 24"x24"x24" footings where the lift posts will go. You should look into frost protected shallow foundations. I am planning on adding foam boards around the perimeter and over...

So far the short list for a clear floor 2 post lift includes, Challenger VLE10, Dannmar D2 10c, AMGO OH 10 and BendPak XPR-10AP. All are ALI certified and around $5k with the exception of the Dannmar which is around $4K if I but through Home Depot with veterans discount. Now if I decide to also...

As long as you keep the new suspension at factory or near factory geometries you should be ok. You didn't specify which lift you got and if it came with track bars and control arms. Anytime you lift, no matter how small of a lift, you are changing geometry. Front axles roll back and to the side...

Decided to modify the garage to include a larger door for the lift bay. Now it will have 10x10 door and a 9x8 door. I think this will work better and fits within the original garage size. Cement goes in next week. Today they will compact the ground and start laying rebar.

All tires with the exception of the 285/70's that come with 4.10s on Ruby's and Mojave and the Ruby diesel with its 3.73.

I would get a lightweight wheel like Nomad or Rocktrix (if you really want new wheels) and stick to 285/70r17 with your 3.73. My previous JTW came with 32" and 3.73. I moved up to 285s and really didn't notice much difference if at all. And I'm at 7,000 feet in elevation. Unless you plan in the...

The ones on my short list call for 4" and 3,000 psi. I'm thinking that with the post footings and the perimeter footing I should be ok.

We already have the same garage but slightly shorter. The trusses only drop about 12". Where the lift will go and considering the vehicle will be centered in between the posts, the cleaeance above the lifted vehicle will be closer to 13' on the wall side to about 14.5' in the center of the...

In order to put in a bigger door 12x12, I would have to go with a wider garage. This would increase the cost by an additional $6,000 including the extra cement. Wife would definitely not approve.

I have to check on the slope. I'm going to do epoxy coating. I'm already planning on adding a spigot inside. It doesn't get too hot here. About 90 sporadically during the summer. Mostly 80s. Winters get very cold here since we are at 7,300.

Cement goes in next week and I haven't picked a lift so I don't know the anchor placement measurements. Your idea would be great if I did.

Or without water. I was driving on the highway one time and noticed that the temperature went up while waiting to pay at the toll booth. I kept on driving and noticed the temperature went back to normal so I kept on going until I hit another toll and it did the same. I pulled over to see what...

My first BMW was 1984 318i. The only issues I ever had were a destroyed driveshaft rubber union (I think that what it was called) and a small electrical fire I fixed for free with 10" of wire. I used to pull a 14" boat with it. Surprisingly that engine was stout but required constant valve...

Having owned 36 cars in my life (I think I lost count, I'm only 53 YOA), The brand that has been the most reliable for me is Jeep. Owned several BMWs, some used, some new. All had issues from convertible top actuators, to transmission shifting issues to lifter noise that BMW said it was normal...

The cement should be 4" or more at 3,000 psi but will have 18" footers where the lift posts go. Planning on using longer and higher grade anchor bolts.

Anyone have experience with AMGO lifts? They seem decent. I like their floor brace kit.

The walls are 12' high and the center is 15'. I have a 6 gallon compressor, a small 90amp welder and some other tools. The size of the garage is set as I already placed the deposit and the order is down range. No heating. It gets very cold here but during winter it stays above freezing for the...

We were just talking about installing a large laundry room sink for exactly what you said. The sewer line is already there since the pad prepped for our camper with full hookups. We are packing on having a spigot outside too. Actually reusing the RV park spigot we already have.
