A couple of how-to's

It's a work in progress, but just wanted to share these with y'all.

And a couple of tips and kb articles:

If anyone has How-to's or tips they want me to include, please feel free. I'll be glad to format, post and credit you for it.

Mike, if you copy these into 'driver posts, I'll sticky them. If I sticky them now, we're dependent on gshack keeping the threads alive.

Thanks.

Steve, let me tinker with it. Funny you say that though, i set-up the site in the hopes of keeping some threads alive. There have been several here where the reference photos are not showing up or have been deleted.

Kewl stuff. I just drive up on some 2X4's. But since you built a nice set and if you have a miter saw handy put 45 deg. angles on the lead ins to each "level" you want to step up, but not on the last one to avoid driving over the top.

BTW I am envious of your garage floor, wish mine was in as good shape.

Thanks guys

kregg, we were fortunate enough to befriend the builder so i got a great deal on the epoxy floor coating. It's commercial grade and covers everything including the 2-3" sides on each wall -- all for about $400. Much cheaper than i could do on my own, or you'd see the how-to as well By the way, i got the idea to build the ramp from your helpful tips on one of my other threads. Thank you.

Q8y_drifter, other than the side rails for using the jack stands there are only two other recommended jack points--the rear differential and the "dimple" under the front -- kregg posted an excellent shot of it here.

Thanks for the props Mike, I didn't know anyone read what I post, lol. Glad to hear otherwise. And I cant take credit for that pic, its from a GT Spec site, I am sure lots of yall recognized it. There arent any copyrights on web pics right? Screen shots are so handy, haha.... Lord knows I wasnt gonna crawl under my car and get a pic of that, wifey gets the garage in the winter, next house will fit two cars if I have the choice. You know once anyone has any expendable cash, or banks actually free up any of that credit to think of such things......
