Just placed my lift order yesterday. I went with 2 Backyard Buddy's, one with solid decking one with adjustable jack trays. Extended height but normal width which will measure 9'2" X 15' and will fit nicely.

I am having them delivered and installed by a local lift company for $1500 which is worth the piece of mind knowing they have been properly done. Lift master is giving me a quote for extended height door tracks and 3 jackstaff lifts. I have 3 nice regular lift master lifts now but they are center pull.

I also ordered my floor which should arrive next week!

Should be a lot of fun!

High rise jackshaft openers are going in tomorrow. Floor should arrive next week. Lifts are a month out.

High lift openers are done and work great. Floor arrived and is almost finished, I ordered the edging which should arrive Friday to finish the job.

Lifts are still about 5 weeks out.

For most folks unless they reall use them a lot the Bend Pack is a very good lift. Mohawk is probably the safest, best made lift made period, but they charge for that as well. Mohawk 10,000 lb. two post 10,700
Bend pack two post 10,00 lbs 2,865
Rotory 10,000 two post 4,500

Challenger belongs in there between Bend Pack and Rotary. The CL-10 is one of the few lifts still Made in the USA too.

GOOD starts at Challenger and goes up from there in my opinion. If you have the scratch then I wouldn't even consider an Eagle or some POS off brand that you found a deal on the internet on.

I don't have Internet service yet at the new house, it should be set up Monday or Tuesday. I am working off a satellite at the moment, but I will take some photos tomorrow and see if I can post them from my I-Pad.

Njja · 08-19-2011, 09:24 PM

I have photos, but no idea how to post them from I-Pod, so I will post them next week. Today I finished my Racedeck floor with their edging and it looks nice.

Dr Jkel · 08-22-2011, 09:51 AM

Looking forward to the pictures.

Njja · 08-22-2011, 10:11 PM

I'm getting close, we finally got our phone and Internet service today. I picked up a new Apple Air so as soon as I figure it out I will post photos!

I'm shooting for tomorrow!

I know its late but we have been quite busy. Here is a shot of one of the Lift Master Jackstaff openiers. They are very quiet and allow you to use all of your overhead space.

Njja · 09-03-2011, 01:29 AM

I have installed the racedeck floor and had the two doors raised to make room for the lifts which are still a couple of weeks out. Its a little cramped at the moment, but should be fine when lifts arrive.

Njja · 09-03-2011, 01:34 AM

As soon as I get the lifts in I will be able to get wifes car back into garage which should make life a little easier!

Great Garage! The only thing I would change is the "Shelby".

How do you like the race deck floor?

Njja · 09-03-2011, 10:15 AM

Race deck floor is really nice. It was easy to install and is very durable. It cleans up well and is comfortable to walk on. I also used their drainage tiles over the two drains in my floor.

I have always been a Chevy fan but like all muscle cars. Cobra is a great ride. I am considering adding a Hemi if they release a 426 anytime soon. Other cars under covers are my 2SS/RS and my SSR.
