Just be careful and don't open the garage door if you lift the Mustang up any higher. I'd hate to see you drag that door opener arm assembly across the top of it!!

Tired of rolling around under my vehicles so I bought the lift I had queried about a year or so ago. First oil change completed on my son's Honda. Next up an oil change on the roadster then detailing the Mustang underside. Awesome. I wish I had one for the shed. Cost? $4k installed.

In retirement I'm looking into a 4 car garage with attached house.

I like what you have there. I've been stewing about a two post so I can pull the wheels off and do break work etc. Still looking for the right deal. I did the same and opted for the four post and sliding jack that allows lifting off the tires front or back.

Congrats Ed, I'm sure you will not only use it, but appreciate it a bunch. I built my shop with 12' ceiling specifically to put a lift in it...I just haven't bit that bullet yet since I've taken a hiatus from project cars.

Now you need another for the other place?
That should be real handy. No as the other place vehicles see little use throughout a year so need little maintenance. A neighbor in need does my oil changes.

Do you have to beef up the slab, or will a std 4" slab handle the weight? I'd like to add a lift in the future.

These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

A four inch three K design was the basis per the previous builder's drawings that I have. Deeper design was built for the last stall where the Kubota resides to handle the original design intent. .

Sir, it seems a general sentiment here that you are having entirely too much fun in your retirement. Congrats

Not being around for most of your kid's upbringing was worth it for the toys!
Nice garage.
