dhansen Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Finally got the Snap-on mid-rise car lift modified to hold my bikes. What a pleasure! Still needed some way to lift the rear end though. Being a builder of wood boats the quickest solution came from the cab of my truck and the kindling box............... So, lots to do. New tire, rear pads, wheel bearings (brake side shot @12,000 mi)(spacer measures good), clean needle bearing, cush drive job and lube unis. Feels GREAT getting this done myself.
ponti_33609 Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Wow, nice job. Did you use screws to attache the plywood to the 2x4? Looks like you had her pretty stable? Bob

Bob I was going to do that, or maybe epoxy it together, but it was so solid I decided to get to work on the tasks at hand. I did slide some blocking under the sump in case something drastic happens. I'll glue it up when I am done. The Snap-on mid-rise table is rated to 6000 pounds so yes, it is a very solid platform to work on. I'll get a pick up later of the front wheel clamp and tie-downs.
