Re: Dannmar lifts - Wej-It Anchors
Spidey and Buickguy,
I do wish I had put the lift in a year ago. The lift design is pretty new, and I wasn't comfortable being one of the first customers last year when it came out. I wanted to let it get a little time in the market in order to judge its safety and reliability. There have been some design changes since the product was released. Plus, I was honestly real busy trying to get the car done. I'm still not done with the GTO. I have a different fuel sending unit I'm swapping in for the existing one. I've still got a little wiring to finish, set pinion angle, and a bunch of other things. But, there are three other reasons why it made sense to get it now.
1) Have you seen the bottom of my car? This lift will make taking care of it very easy. The car is gonna get driven. Which means it's gonna get dirty on the bottom. I can roll around under the car on a mechanics stool and it'll be way easier to maintain. This car will not be a garage queen - but I built it nice - the way I want it. It means I need to take care of it.
2) I do a lot of maintenance on the kids cars, etc. This thing will even make something as much a PITA as rotating tires a relatively painless process.
3) I'm also going to be helping my pap with his '54 Chevy truck project. We can use this to lift the cab, the bed, etc. As well as all kinds of other stuff.
And finally, I may be raising the lift arms and using them to pitch a tent over for me to sleep. My wife is getting a little towards the end of her rope lately. So, no luck in me giving the lift away
