The SLS is ready for the winter months

I am finally ready for the winter months, the SLS can be stored at my home rather than placing it in a storage facility. I just had a four post lift installed in my two car garage effectively making it a three car garage. I can also park my Dodge Ram under the SLS, and have a reserved space for my wife's GL, allowing me not to freeze my a*$ off in the early morning hours to scrape off the truck as it is nestled away in the warmth of my garage. I have included some pics for those of you who are intersted. If you have the height allowance and space, this little project is worth it.

This really illustrates well why I love the idea of having a lift one day in my garage. Looks awesome!

Thanks Barry, I had a company from toronto who shipped and then installed the lift in one day, they are very reputable and excellent to deal with.

There's no way you can pick any trunk under there. The standard garage does not have enough height.

The garage is not a "standard" garage, I have 12ft in height, so yes the truck fits easily under the lift in maximum raised level. This was the whole reason I did this project, in order to place a truck underneath the SLS in the winter months.
