Re: Finally got a lift!
Looks good! I got my first one a few weeks ago, and my second one is coming in two weeks. It will be nice to store 4 of them at home for once. These are much more affordable than I thought they were. Definitely save money on storage garages for me!

Nice!! I'm hoping to add a 4-post to my tool chest in a year or so. Nice for pulling on for quick jobs like changing oil. lining up a 2 post just for that job is waaay too much work!! Also great for doubling the size of your garage.

Re: Finally got a lift!
Hey Chazman - How tall are your ceilings? Wondering how tall ceilings need to be in order to comfortably stack cars? Looks like yours are perfect for 3rd Gens?

Ceilings are not quite 12'. If you remove the antennas, I think you can stack 2 3rd gens with around 10'.

You didn't get the Advantage Lift? I thought that was on your list of purchases? You bought the knock off Wildfire!!! I hope you enjoy it. Very sturdy and if it's just like the Advantage, very well made.

I called to order the Advantage, but the price had skyrocketed to the point I had sticker shock.. Things have changed since Tony sold the company to Backyard Buddy. The Wildfire is 99% identical but was a few hundred dollars less and an addition few hundred less to ship.

Re: Finally got a lift!
I heard the prices went up. John Zofko bought a second lift and said the prices were much higher than when I got mine. Looks like it's gone up $1300 in 4.5 years. WOW. I knew they sold, but I didn't know they sold to Backyard Buddy. I wonder if they sold again.

That is way too clean to be called a garage!
