I'm such a nerd that when you said "RJ-45 jack" I was thinking the post was network enabled and "smart" 😅😅😅
Exactly what I thought haha.
So glad I'm not the only one.
Count me in also.........but my trade is an Electrical Fitter so that's my excuse ! I got a question though.....what happens if your top car leaks / drips oil ?
0ttoman That's the first thing I thought of too. I spent years running network cable day in day out.
since I am a real nerd I feel like you need to know that saying "RJ-45 jack" is stupid, since RJ stands for "registered jack"...
Wait, what, they charge an extra $300 to refill the paint gun with red paint?
that avatar is an appropriate expression for the 'wait, whut' question... lol
Indeed,,,lol
Supply and demand, the majority will be blue.
Not surprised to see a $300 price difference, but I am surprised anybody would pay it.
Certain pigments are more expensive. Reds and Yellows happen to be toward the top, at least in automotive applications, but I'm not sure why it would warrant a $300 premium in this application. Machinery grade paint I would think would be the norm for something like this.

No matter how wealthy you are you have that jack from Harbor Freight.
"RJ-45 Jack"
Were any other IT guys confused for a second? xD
It guys and many computer nerds thought it might be a smart lift.. : )
Jordan Mammoliti I was like why does he have a smart jack on his car lift?
In my head I was like “No way this lift has ethernet”
@@dolphns8204 rofl😆
I was actually preparing a presentation for my Cisco networking class before I watched this. Completely thought he would connect a network cable to the jack.
Thanks for the tour! Thinking of getting one of these and you actually answered all my most important questions - virtually in the order in which I was thinking them ! I appreciate the work people put into creating TH-cam vids. Yours is great.
Awesome review, I've been watching these for quite some time, clearance issues is a common 'concern' for many of us in the market, this helped a lot. Thanks a bunch.
Yeah have my shitbox leak oil onto my other shitbox.
Where do buy one of these lifts?
What did it cost to ship it?
Who set it up for you?
1marcelfilms So hard to install a pan under it...smh fucking knob
They do come with a drip pan so one car is not pissing on the other
I like how when he titles how much things cost, he actually tells you how much it costs.
A very good walk around of the hoist and explanation of why you chose it. The other drawbacks with a 2 post lift that you didn't touch on are: 1. The limited access getting in and out of the car when it's raised up because the posts are within a foot of the doors on Both sides and 2. A 10ft ceiling really isn't high enough to adequately raise the vehicle to an acceptable height to get under it without walking around like Quasimodo.
not if you buy a forward lift
You missed the most important diff between 2 post and 4 post. Car storage. When I built my over sized garage I had the floor reinforced to anchor a 2 post lift. But now researching lifts to install I learn it's not recommended to store a car on a 2 post lift because the suspension will not be under load and that could mess up the springs. I never even thought of that when specing my garage. So I may be going 4 post now. To store my Caterham during the winter.
Hell of a lot cheaper then building onto a garage! Defenitly a cost affective alternative. Great video, thank you!
Thanks, that was a very useful video and answered all my questions.
Semi related question: would you ever extend the garage or build another one where you park your Lexus' now?
Brandon B yeah. building a garage behind the house later this year.
Love your video and love the jack. I cant wait until i can afford to do something like this for myself!
Thank you for the tour. My four year old son thinks it is really cool.
My thirty year old self thinks this is really cool.
my 56 year old dad thinks this is cool!
Well then it is settled. This is cool.
boofighter im in the womb and i think this is cool

So your mom has installed a little porthole for you to watch? Or she swallowed a phone?
Awesome video, thanks for posting!
Great idea - however, I did not see any bolts holding it to the garage floor did I miss them or is it free standing?
This was great informational video...I watched both of them on this lift...Audio and video quality was perfect.
Thank you sir. Ive always wondered these things.
Thanks for all the information.
Great video. Answered all my questions
Wait... it's not even bolted down or attached to the ground or walls, just standing there? What was the $800 "install charge" for? Is it like paying some guys $800 to put together your Ikea furniture & plug it in?
OMFG! I have never scene or considered putting one of these in my home garage. brilliant! I want one!
before you install one of those in your garage you have to learn one thing...it is not "scene" instead it is "seen"
,,... 360°
Thanks for all the details!
Great video man very informative.
Thanks for the info. Love the lift.
I'm new to you man, but lovin every moment. I'm diggin your idealouly and rational in purchasing these types of cars and the builds in mind. Looking forward to more. MikeB.
Awesome. Another creative cheaper way to make things work. I love how you guys think outside the box. .
I'm a little late to watch this but better late than never. Gave me some great ideas for when the time comes and that's all thanks to you, great video!
A lot of good information. Many thanks. When my Horse Barn is finished (40X45 ft, 5" reinforced concrete floor, 12X10 ft roll-up door) I do plan to install a lift similar to yours. Bolted to the floor in the center of the barn at the rear wall.
If it can be moved outside you can also use it out there, if it will go under the door. As a retired mechanic I preferred the two post lifts for most things. They are pretty safe if you know how to use them.
I'm in complete alignment with your logic on lift(s). Great video.
This young man has his shit together
I thought so too, Seems to have a good personality. Video is informative.
It is not bolted down! Major safety risk! Still paid 800 dollar for installing it????
you don't need to bolt down 4 post lifts. they're made to be moved.
Big Heaf his mom's
Great review, thanks!!
Good Job and Great Attitude!
2900 dollars was WAY below my guess. Nice.
Awesome review! Wasn't on the market for one of these but now I want one haha
As an automobile mechanic I can understand the want of a four post lift. A four post lift is great for storage but a pain in the ass for working on the car. even with a center lift to lift the wheels off the the runways, working around the tires and suspension is a pain because the runways get in the way of working on the suspension. Better off just buying a 2 post to begin with. They cost less and make it easier to work on every part of the car while still allowing a second car to be stored underneath. Still gave your video a thumbs up but if you would have asked a mechanic first he would have steered you to a 2 post. Even with an engine and transmission out a 2 post hold a car in a very stable manner.
You said that this garage door opener didn't come with a number pad. You can purchase one on amazon for like $30 and program it in less than 5min. Hope that helps
Conor Marzec I was going to make the same comment. I just had to program a couple remotes last weekend, a lot easier than it used to be.
wait, u paid for installation and they did not bolt it down?
Exactly my point. That's not installation fee - that's unpacking/assembly fee.
It is odd but it isn't as though the lift is going to move with 3,600+ lb pushing down on it and a concrete lip directly behind it.
Russell Robinson j
It would take about 90 mins to use a hammer drill and install a couple concrete fasteners at each corner.
U peoples r missing the concept of this lift, it is movable, therefore u would not want to bolt it down
thanks for your valuable information
I have one question because I'm thinking about buying the same left can you lock the lift into position without the you know the motor is there any kind of slide through bolts that can lock the lift where you want it so in case you're storing it for a long. Of time nothing can fail cuz the bolts are there to hold it to
How often do you adjust the alignment of the cable mechanisms at all 4 points to ensure they are all in sync when operating?
How many inches is your concrete floor? And do you believe it is thick enough to hold that weight for a long time?
Thanks for the info Bro. Been thinking about a lift for a long time and the price isn't that bad!
Wait, if that's not bolted to the floor, what was the installation cost for?
Good vid mate.
Do you think you'll clean the headlights on the s class?
naaa, he would have to take the other car off of the lift in order to do that
haha yeah true..
+Bryan Martin Bit rude is it no?

I ordered one. Thanks for the video. Can you tell me what you’ve done with your electrical outlets so that it works? I know it needs to draw to 220v. I’m trying to save since I ploughed allot of $$ already.
will you convert your garage door to a high lift system so you get more clearance up top?
I had no idea this even existed
Awesome!
Looks good man 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent reasoning for getting a 4 post lift. Not having to worry about a car falling on you is definitely a good thing.
Good review man. Thumbs up.
That was Great info 👌
Thanks man! Jus the info I really needed.
Who raised your garage door?
Thanks for answering questions on cost I figured about $5k for one installed at my place so good to know it's realistic.
Great video!
Sweetness! I just decided to buy a 4-post lift for most of the same reasons you did. I might do some videos about it too.
put the s500 in winter mode with the raise car button ...will it touch?
Thanks for making this video. Well done and informative. Helpful. You answered many of my questions about these. I don't understand why you have any thumbs down, let alone 350. Your garage looks great and vehicles are sweet. Maybe people who are doing thumbs down or make remarks are just jealous. I appreciate you took the time to make this video. My guess is people who leave negative comments have never made an instructional video and posted to YT. Please don't be discouraged by the negative comments. You are putting yourself out there -- and that is harder than people think. Keep up the good work.
Garage goals, Lets go!
an RJ45 jack is the standard name for Ethernet jack for your computer....
Great job!
questions, this looks great but does city allow you to put the whole lift in your garage and does their code allow you to install this ? Permit needed?
Nice. Really frees up a lot of floor space.
What is that jack in front of the top car for? Is it necessary? Is there a safety latch or something in case it starts to slowly lower by itself?
What is model nbr of the compressor (and after 4 years is it still working)? Also did you have the 2 kill switches installed?
great job on the video
Now only thing my building has heated floors and I would want it mollie'd into the ground I wonder if they have the thing to check through the concrete so they do not go to through my heating elements in the floor please comment back thank you
Is it structurally safe to notch the ceiling like that? I was told you aren't supposed to cut the triangle trusses once the roof has been assembled.
yea I agree with the safety of having a 4 post especially when working alone 👍
I recently had a garage built at my new place and got a 4 post atlas lift. The height floor to ceiling is 12ft 6in, along with a high lift door track and wall opener (have the lift master 8500 also and it came with a keypad remote) will allow me to put a large SUV or truck in the air and be able to stand up under it. Depends on your garage and what you will be lifting. If you have a 10ft ceiling and a Ford Gt40, Delorean, etc you'll be fine. Otherwise if you want to stand under or park another car under it 11-12ft would be ideal. Mine is not bolted to the floor either and it really doesn't move at all. It runs on 110v power and they recommend a 30 amp breaker. The motor is 15 amps but in the colder weather it was blowing my 20 amp.
Very specific scenario BUT what if you were to have a vehicle that you needed to take the engine out from the bottom? It would most likely be too wide to fit between the rails of the lift. Is that a situation you have considered, or is that not an issue in your case?
hey tav - quick question can you park 3 cars in your garage now? I see a partial raised part of your floor so I wasn't sure.
yo tavarish,w220 front strut a bit low,leak?or you haven't drive it for sometimes?
How much room do you have been the mounting plate and the wall on the passenger side?
RE: 2 post v. 4 post lifts . The four post allows easier access to the lower car without having to worry about clearance between the central post and the car door.
can you fit a car beside the lift still? aka 3 cars in the garage?
Can you park a car on the side to make it a 3 car garage?
yup, that's the idea!
Nah Freddy should get a new garage door opener. One that has the capability to open with an app from his smart phone, my family has one & it's awesome.
Or put another one next to it, and bam, 4 car garage
there better be no oil leaks in the top car, to drip on the lower car!
they make drip trays that fit in the channel and it looks like he has one.
A POV of you driving your Aston would be so awesome!!
armani700411 I had a ride in one not too long ago. It is an amazing experience and I'd love to see that
What size garage do you have? Is the other side of the garage enough to part another car?
Thanks for the information. I'm getting married soon and will be going from my two car garage to having to share a garage. This gives me an idea how to fit my Vettes into one bay.
Do you find it's a hassle of moving out the bottom car if you want to drive the top one?
How wide is the lift at it's outer edges and can you park another car in the garage next to it?
What is the size of the garage please ?
If you can find out the actual weight of the dually, maybe putting casters on the lift would allow you to take it outside and lift that too. (Now that I've thought it through maybe it's too wide, but if it isn't, you should look into it)
Thanks, wasn't expecting a Jalop dude when I was searching for home lifts.
My garage has only an 8 foot ceiling so I had to put a two post lift outside. Drilled two 24 inch holes with Bobcat and filled with concrete and spiral rebar with threaded 3/4 J bolts. Got lift from garage that was being demolished for CVS. Total expenditure less than 500 dollars and now two of my Chargers have a home under a carport.
Main question, does the lift lock in place to stop it going down?
Yes, I want this.
So do you have enough room to park a car next to the lift? Or is it still a 2 car garage ?
Can there another car fit throw the garage door although the four post lift is there?
Cool stuff bro
How hot does it get up top of the lift in Florida? The heat wouldn't be too good for long term storage.
Realize that this lift was installed 6 or so years ago, but where can you find this lift for the price point you paid? Thanks
How do you do anything on the wall side, or do you?
I use to be in the equipment rental business, When I got done with it I sold a lot of inventory but I got stuck with a few big fork lifts, I still tinker in the shop and 12 ton long reach forklifts pick up 1 ton pu LOL
Does it have any built-in safety features? I would hate to be underneath it changing my oil and then becoming a pancake.
nice lift and garage peace!!!
