Options would be something like this http://rochester.craigslist.org/for/4587143288.html but obviously no good for suspension work / tires / brakes.
So was playing with the idea of how to support a lift without drilling the floor. Would need structure supports top and bottom between the posts. and legs that extend front and back. thoughts?

whats the electric and heat situation? looks nice ceiling height for a lift.
Post by: JEEPWERX on September 09, 2014, 09:28:04 AM
Not sure about a lift that's not attached to the floor.
Seems like I'd keep searching for a older floor.

He said he would run 220 to the garage for $425 per month. I have a buddy who is throwing in $150 a month. its 22 wide by 28 deep, so not really 2 deep in terms of being able to work on stuff.
roof slopes downward side to side. where left side is tall at ~14 and right side is ~10. which actually works ok since the left bay door is larger so is conducive to that being the main work area.
electric included. no heat. my salamander would heat the area fine.

If it's a residential area they won't be happy about an after hours fab / repair shop making noise. Business use or not!
don't sign anything more than a month to month lease.

Something to consider is the surrounding area.
If it's a residential area they won't be happy about an after hours fab / repair shop making noise. Business use or not!
don't sign anything more than a month to month lease.
is this the norm for "commercial" space? we actually have not discussed lease at all. I will ask owner what he expects.
Could build a steel platform with enough structure to support loading front/back and side/side...
This was my thought.

Seperate out the shitbirds!
But being marketed as "non commercial" space, noise after normal business hours could be an issue for surrounding homes. Don't get locked into a year lease with a property owner who doesn't under the full scope of what your planning to do.
And then shrugs his shoulders if the neighbors shut you down.
Without really knowing the neighborhood. .. im saying just bee cautious.

Typically for commercial space an owner is looking for yearly lease.good thing to consider.

he said he was flexible with the lease. probably will just ask for month to month? what kind of risk does that impart on me for him being able to kick me out for a tenant who will pay more?
sounds like a hassel. i drilled holes and didnt ask haha
I should have gone with this route. ask for forgiveness, not permission.

Post by: M4wdFab on September 09, 2014, 02:17:53 PM
junk on the floor is no good.
chinnese 9K is a good 7K lift
my max jax was 2300$ to my door
i would pay 3X that for the next lift without thinking twice after having a lift.
i would not buy something that can safely lift your cummins truck.

i have a lot of stuff i can send your way if you are looking for work.
a few recomendations:
charge 2x what you think is fair
you will get Fucked 1 out of every 10 jobs, accept it.
do not be afraid to say "no, we dont do that"
do not be afraid to outsource and make 40%
mark up 40% on any parts you get from arie / zone / advance
be clear cash only
fix your mistakes at all cost
60$ / hr for clean metal / fabrication / new lift kit installs
80-90$/hr for shit rotten jeep work
do not do work for anyone you work with
Post by: KingtheZJ on September 24, 2014, 10:32:43 PM
Please continue to remind me of the advice you listed above. I can see how each one of those is essential.
Whats the thing you use the most that I need to stock that I don't have and wont think of? I know I want to stock brake line, fuel line, random exhaust sizes.
