Mark - I'm actually thinking about the TR now too. Figure I'll have this for a long time, maybe my son will take it after that. In view, having one with with extra height is probably worth the extra dough. I agree $100's not a ton, but as you said better than that eye stick. Although we'd need a 3rd buyer to even get that. I'm not 100% "in" yet, but getting warmer for sure. Let me know if you find anything else out! I'm still hoping to find a used one....fat chance I'm sure.

Mark (as well!)

For your typical garage that has rafters at 8' you can only raise the car so high before the roof hits.

Also the higher you lift the car the less stable it would be (High cg) and you would not want to be lifted high during an earthquake in California.

That altas looks like it has more lift than anyone would ever need to clear an engine etc.

Sounds like there is a group purchase in the works. I may be interested as well.

Thanks for the link.
