Yes..I am planning on putting one together...Just waiting on my IC's to arrive.

I have been taking pictures so I should be able to put one together hopefully.

Also just got the bigger silicon intake ducts installed, and may try to do one for that as well??

Here is how it sits now

Take care,
DC

thanks, you're the DIY king these days.. It seems a lot of us have the scissor lift these days..did you tile your garage recently? I don't recall the floor looking like that last year?

Keep up the good work

You are welcome!...And glad to see the time spent is helping others! Nice ramps! They came out good. And your work area looks very neat and clean. I find mine (ramps) work perfect for the Turbo, Boxster S, and Cayenne, but a little off for the X5, but I can make them work.

I have been studying for an exam and I go out and take a part or two off and then come back in and study...So it is a little messier than usual....

They work great! Keeping it clean is the easy part! I've got a lot of OCD......everything nice and orderly. Drives my wife and kids nuts.

Thanks! You are very observant! Yes...I had epoxy, and when it would snow etc., the stuff would peel and drove me nuts! So I took a week off last summer and tiled it...It is 989 Sq. ft. garage so I was tired of tiling at the end of the week! Plus had to grind all the epoxy off with a diamond bit cement grinder..That was fun Then a Tan marble pattern Ceramic Tile and Mocha grout to cover stains a bit hopefully...

Posted a couple pics of it for you in case you were interested. It came out pretty good I think....I just painted a 5/8 " sheet of plywood under the lift so it does not chip the tile up.

Take care,
DC

Looks great, serious garage envy..I have limited options with my almost 100 year old house with a detached garage and a low ceiling..but I do have a "man cave" behind the garage where I keep all my tools and parts..

Sorry for the thread hijack OP..
