It’s mounted just like the RD drawings. In the rear the steel rack in mounted to the trans mounts and in the front the rack is mounted to the suspension points. The wood mains are just 2x6’s bolted thru the steel and the rollover is 3/4 2’x4’ plywood. I copied where I could other ideas I saw on YouTube. The tub is only 600lbs so it’s not really not that heavy. It takes 2 people to rotate and 3 is better but my son and I do it no problem. It’s very stable. I have wheels on it (when the car is down) but if I moved it around more then a few feet I put a brace across the middle. I don’t have a middle brace when we roll it and it no problem.. and you don’t have to work around the brace. You need a 2 car space to roll it over and I have a standard 8’ ceiling with a 2x12 beam and everything clears no issues.
First roll over is a little scary.. but now I’ve had it up and down several times without fear. One issue is the jig is a little in your way when working the wheel wells and it only rolls one way. I think I spent about $130 to make the whole thing. |
