Granted, I haven't installed a lift myself, and don't know what's involved, but is there a reason you can't just install it?

Matt Andrejak

Install it yourself, or call another company if possible

I genuinely didn't even think of this. I don't think I'd feel comfortable doing that because of hydraulics bleeding, cable routing, and leveling it. But now that you've mentioned it, it's definitely in my head now as a last resort option

Jon Koferl

I agree do it your self and save the money... you already have the sore muscles

Yeah, some of that stuff sounds like a pain, but you're clearly not cutting corners, have some experience with electrical, etc. Of course, for safety do what you're comfortable with, but don't let THE MAN tell you your clearly solid concrete isn't good enough.

You sir, missed an opportunity for a pun. "Uplifting Update" ...

Would love to have a lift but don't have the garage for it. It's one of those " if you give a mouse a cookie" scenarios. I'll need a bigger garage. Then better power feed. Then better lighting. Then a better car to lift. Then buy the lift. But still, you're going to wind up installing it yourself. Make a template of the old holes and transfer them to the new pad to locate the lift and if you need help, call some local friends?

Oh and I am throwing my bugeye Sprite on a lift Saturday morning. Our car club has a service day scheduled at a local school that has a great auto program. I'll be doing the oil change and greasing about 18 nipples.

You could do the install yourself and only have the company there for the hydraulics. So they only have to sign off for the hydraulics and electrical stuff and don't have any liability for the mechanical part.

Surprised they don't just let you sign a waiver and get on with the job. Hopefully they'll get your lift installed soon.

I immediately asked him if I could just sign a waiver. He gave me some reason (that didn't really make sense) as to why he wouldn't do that

Will you be making any video content about the Vtrux?

Btw, hydraulics bleeding is nothing more than cycling the cylinders, aka, going fully up and down a few times.

I dont think that it's too hard to install.

Speaking of vtrux, theres currently one on ebay for sale with a questionable battery

That's how all good EV projects start! I do want a Vtrux but there's already 3 EV projects at my house and they all started from EVs with bad batteries.

You just gotta reeeeally be sure you did everything very correctly before you get under it with a multi ton vehicle on top lol

BrandEver
>>136815825

Call another company, if they ask about the concrete just say idk lol

I think waivers aren't always super enforceable. Not a lawyer (or even a smart person) but I think if a lawyer could argue that there was criminal negligence it could nullify a waiver. Also hiring a lawyer to draw up a decent waiver in the first place could be expensive.

Can we send you stickers to put on the lift?

I've come across this problem a lot. I'm an engineer. I spent 7 years training to be an engineer and I have 15 years' experience. When I do something myself, I look up the codes, standards and relevant good practice, design the thing, validate the design, design the implementation process, validate the implementation process, do the thing, verify that the design requirements have been met, document the whole thing, and then a realtor or someone else will get sniffy that I did it myself rather than pay some rando who spent $1,500 and two days on a course to get a participation certificate.

Michael McCormack

I can't disagree with the installer. The waiver of assumed risk often doesn't hold up as judges usually determine the installer to be the expert and should have known better than to proceed. This country has been completely ruined by lawyers.

Nuno Campos

Do we have a lift-on? *pun intended*
