So after hurricane Harvey destroyed the old garage we're moving into new house which has 1800 sq/ft of garage space.
I managed to salvage my MAXJAX garage lift and my custom made chair with LED lights to work under the cars. I used to have this same set up when I had my Porsche 928"s and it has served me well.
Setting up the garage is still a work in progress but today I did a first test lift on the MAXJAX with the SL55 in the new space.

good to have your garage space back for sure.

somewhat fascinated by the lift-chair (my aging eyes can never get enough light when I am using my lift). More pics and info please !

You may want to consider getting a longer hydraulic line for one side of your Maxjax so you can have one line go up and over the car (so you wont have to roll over/around it). I think I paid less than $40 for a longer line that I got for a maxjax ... worked out very well.

Cheers and happy holidays !

Chris,

I do have the longer lines as it used to be overhead (see attached) in my old garage that fell victim to hurricane Harvey the new house has an 1800 sq/ft garage with the house on top of it.

I made the chair from HF components - 600lbs hydraulic transmission jack - HF creeper cut up to make the seat - and 2 flexible shaft with LED's light (they stay cool to the touch) so I can spot them in any direction needed and they move along when I roll the chair with my feet - The height of the chair adjust by just pumping the hydraulic transmission jack while I'm seated - I extended the back of the base with wheels/parts of the cut up creeper so it can not tip over when I lean back in the chair - The set up makes it comfortable to work under the car in a very relaxed manner - Future plans are to mount some additional tool trays and perhaps a drink holder I look up some more pictures on an old back up drive and will post them.
