I actually leave them on the floor, one under each car in my garage (2 car garage). You don't know they are there until you pull a car out I do remove the lifting blocks off of them though...

And when it is time to use them, I pull both cars out and put the one I want to work on into the middle (between the lifts), and push them under the sides!

Lean 'em on the wall. Easy peasy. See pic in post #375. You can also leave then in the center of the garage and drive over (but not on!) them.

I put mine in the center of the trailer and park over them. Once I get the garage built I will hang them on the wall. I have a big file cabinet that will hold the pump.

Just ordered the 5000. Went with 110v. Does anyone know if you can get the power module separate? Just in case I will want to go to 12v later?

You can, for $485. https://www.quickjack.com/accessorie...c-12-volt.html

I saw a guy on another forum who ordered the 110V unit, and also a portable jump starter to use at the track: https://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PS...V8J7PRFCME9KT0

I'm sure there are cheaper ones out there, but definitely cheaper than another full pump unit.

That's a thought, thanks. I do have a generator that I used for tire warmers and fans in my pits for the bikes. I guess when I hit the loto I can get a great tow vehicle and trailer and haul a generator around

Very nice. Mine is sitting on a truck, probably no more than 10 miles from me to be delivered Monday. Sucks it couldn't be delivered Friday, but I will be setting it up Monday. Just picked up a couple quarts of ATF.

I have a quart and 1/2, is that enough?

Can not wait should be a huge help installing my A&A supperchar and ported stock exhaust manifolds!

Hopefully it won't come over the 4th as I'll be traveling and I don't want my house sitter to have to deal with it.

I think it takes 2 qts.

Good luck on the supercharger! I have a supercharged and cammed G8, and I keep telling myself I am keeping the C7 stock! Hey, I've made it 6 months so far.

I think the 7000 is a good choice, but just know your unit won't ship until mid July. I think it's worth the wait.

Yeah I saw the "pre-order now" message. Oh well, if I'm going to use it on my '04 Yukon Denali (as well as the Vette), I'll need the BL-7000SLX.

Hoping there's a Father's Day Special.

Somewhat productive "sick day". Got my 7000SLX delivered, but it was only the 2 lifts, no pump or lift adapters. Assume they will be here n the next day or so. I box had some damage to it, and one of the wheels was missing. Assume it broke and fell out. Luckily they ship 2 replacement wheels with the parts kit.

So I used the yellow tape, 2 wraps. I tightened the fittings and have about 1/4 inch of threads remaining on each fitting. Is this typical for you others who used the yellow tape? I never tried 3 wraps of white, like the manual states, so I am not sure if there is a difference. Just curious.
