Not really a Barney update but one that will make doing Barney updates a lot easier once again once finished....
Picked this up about noon today. It's a 9000 XLT 4 post drive on lift with 2 manual rolling jacks. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._114100-X2.jpg In the Air Conditioned shop ready to unload. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._123001-X2.jpg Most likely not OSHA approved method of lifting the 400# jacks off the trailer, but it worked... https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._133610-X2.jpg Getting the lift itself off was not bad. I put a car dolly under the front of it when loading it on trailer so all I did was lift the back of lift with engine hoist and drive the trailer out from under it. Once the dolly was near the end of the trailer I set the back end down on another dolly, lifted the front up with hoist then drove the trailer the rest of the way out. Here it is partially unpacked. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._142303-X2.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._142313-X2.jpg About 2 hours total got me this far. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._150805-X2.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._150815-X2.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._150822-X2.jpg. I've recruited the neighbors kid to help me stand up the ends tomorrow then putting the rest of it together shouldn't be that big of a deal. Can't wait to be able to work on cars and trucks once again without laying on the ground... |
great idea to put that dolly under it beforehand
This will be a nice "tool" to have, looking forward to seeing it in use |
No way I'd roll around on a floor like that!!!
LOL Getting there buddy! |
Very nice. The place is coming together well. :)

So, Barney fits on the lift...
https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._095451-XL.jpg The rolling jack fits under the lower control arms but I do have to put the little jack pad extensions under pads so they contact the frame before the jack itself hits the exhaust. With the extension in place, they will not go past the lower control arms. Not a big deal... https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._095435-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._103132-XL.jpg There is plenty of room on the wall side of the lift. Here is Barney's door opened all the way up. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._070419-XL.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._070426-XL.jpg I am going to hang my nut and bolt bins and steel peg board for all of my hanging tools and supplies along the wall in between the posts. They'll be 6-8" out from the wall so it seems like a perfect place to me. Pretty much all of this on the worlds most expensive workbench will be hanging on the wall next to it in a day or so. https://photos.smugmug.com/1985-Mont..._075152-XL.jpg |
Looks great, wish I had the ceiling height to have something like that. Get that thing anchored to your slab before you get too settled in; just a few years ago there was a 4.1 earthquake not to far from PHX.

Thanks... I can't anchor it to this post tension floor so I'll have to take my chances I guess. It's damn solid though, doesn't budge a bit even with a car lifted pretty high on it.
