This looks like just what I need but I never saw it before Costco offered it. I really like the idea of leaving one post anchored and the other one detached when not in use.

Well, it's in and I frigging (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) it. If you have the room then get a Full sized lift. But if your like 95% of us with a std garage; this is the one you need. I spaced mine wider than I had originally planned so I could service my wider vehicles as well. Why not? It's portable and that post will only be there when in use. Otherwise it's stored away.

Looks very similar. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I love mine as well. Funny mine didn't come with that cool yellow sticker. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I did send you a sticker, didn't I?

Kent, the anchors, is that something you want a professional to set into the concrete ?
Will it go high enough, have you tried store another teener underneath it ?

The trick is locating and missing the steel reinforcement in your slab. You'll need a large hammer drill to turn the 7/8" bit. If your not comfortable with this they offer pro install. You find it in the fine print when you order a lift. I'll see if my other teener will fit beneath tonight. It's going to be very close.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Nice. Definitely have to get one of those now. I think I have room for a full sized lift but almost bought a 4 poster. Seems like the 2 post is the way to go if you want to work on your car a lot since there's better access to the underside.

Hey Chris, I could have shoe horned a 4 post lift inside but I didn't want to navigate around those posts from now on. And a 2 post would have extended into the other bay leaving enough room for another sub compact vehicle, only. Neither would have been able to reach their full height so this model was my best bet. In fact, I set the width of this one at 130" so I can service my wider vehicles as well. Why not? It's goes back into storage in less than 10 mins time.

I have room for a 4 post, I would like to use the one car garage to store one on top. Any disadvantage on a 4 post vs 2 post for our cars?

Paul, IMHO, the 2 post offers greater accessibility. Especially if your doing any wheel or brake work.
