I wanted to spend some money...so I bought another car jack.
Buzz of el-cheapo supercheap 1.4 tonne jack... make way for $450 Omega Magiclift 3 tonne rebuild-able jack. Low profile enough to fit under the FTO, goes high enough to lift my Challenger.
Weighs close to only 60 kgs

Holy sh*t!
Am coming to your house, now that I know exactly where you live!
How much did it cost with installation?

Hey Dad if I clean my room can I use the hoist for an hour or two?

Did Bennoz really get a hoist?
Also OP, I saw at CostCo a $160 from memory which seemed pretty good for the money

Yeah a lot of guys on whirlpool have been raving about the costco one. Gold Coast has no Costcos yet
My choices were armstrong, liftech or omega. Omega seems to have quite a good reputation in the States for its low profile and long reach body.

I love how people come on here to boast about stuff, then Ben casually walks in and not only bests them but does his besting to the extreme

I was looking at this as an option for my place...
The cheapest I could find was at a place in WA ... The Hoist was sold as a car stacker... About 3.5k delivered...
But my roof is pretty low in the garage... So not sure if I could actually get two cars in ... But worth the money ... Only problem is wife went mad on furniture.. So spent all the cash ... And I still have to do the upgrades on the Evo/GSR ... :'(

Yeah I got similar quotes as well ranging between 2.8 to 3.5 and is a car stacker than a workshop hoist.
I propose half yearly bonfire at Bennoz's

Now I can just take a 45 min drive down to Ben's with a case of Boags whenever I need to work on my car.
