Re: Post a pic of your truck taken today

These are great lifts for those that don't have the ceiling height for a post lift. It is easy and gives and nice room to do creeper work underneath as well as a safety thing. I just leave the back of the ramp down and use it as my parking spot. Very portable also.

These are popular with the corvette crowd. They come with sliding bridge. I pruchased a second bridge so I could also lift the complete car off its tries to change tires work on brakes, clean, etc. I also purchaced the transmision jack which works well with the lift.

The Kwiklift is a good choice for those without tall garages. The Kwiklift has no mechanical items that can break down like a scissor lift has. The middle area under the car is completely open and accessible. A scissor lift obstructs the middle area of the undercarriage. It comes with a sliding bridge. Try to get that with a scissor lift. You can jack up and remove the wheels on the Kwiklift, so that is not a limiting consideration. It is adjustable to fit your car/garage and is self storing. A scissor lift much more difficult to move or store. Weight limits are not a concern. A scissor lift has limits and the more weight you want to lift, the more $ it costs. Finally, look on E-Bay for Kwiklifts compared to Scissor lifts. You will rarely find a Kwicklift listed but the others are a dime a dozen. That is somewhat proof the Kwiklift are keepers. Besides they are cheaper than the rest.

I paid around $1,300 powdercoated, a second bridge, and a trans jack. A neighbor and I both bought together and saved about 1/2 on shipping. They do travel around the country and you can get purchace /pickup at that time. See schedule onwebsite. It makes it easy for me to clean the underneath of the Ty's, which I do often.:tup:

I'm betting the Blazer with the Sy motor will be just as fast or faster than the big block S-10

No picture but here in Chicago I took my truck into work today. Started right up after sitting for 4 months. For storage I just changed the oil, filled the tank, added stabil and put a ctek charger on the Optima battery.

Thanks,I love my wheels, been on there for 13 years. I think they are what should have come stock on Syclones. They just look right to me.

What Justin says. Fenders got vents as a result of a rust removal experiment. They were rusting, I had beer and a desire to see what I could do. Turned out that I liked em and left em. Im replacing the hood and fenders so the mesh is gone and now you see the unfinished holes.
