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

2024-05-07 14:39:13 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-05-05 20:26:41 +0000 UTCI'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.

2024-05-04 20:04:20 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-05-03 07:33:39 +0000 UTCYou just gotta reeeeally be sure you did everything very correctly before you get under it with a multi ton vehicle on top lol

2024-05-03 07:32:50 +0000 UTCThat'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.

2024-05-02 16:39:58 +0000 UTCI dont think that it's too hard to install.

2024-05-02 05:26:29 +0000 UTCI 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

2024-05-02 05:12:02 +0000 UTCSurprised they don't just let you sign a waiver and get on with the job. Hopefully they'll get your lift installed soon.

2024-05-02 04:59:44 +0000 UTCYou 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.

2024-05-02 03:27:02 +0000 UTCOh 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.

2024-05-02 02:20:02 +0000 UTCWould 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?

2024-05-02 02:18:36 +0000 UTCYou sir, missed an opportunity for a pun. "Uplifting Update" ...
Allan Clipperton-Boyer
2024-05-02 02:03:37 +0000 UTCYeah, 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.

2024-05-02 01:30:56 +0000 UTCI agree do it your self and save the money... you already have the sore muscles

2024-05-02 01:27:09 +0000 UTCI 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
Aging Wheels
2024-05-02 01:26:41 +0000 UTCInstall it yourself, or call another company if possible
Matt Andrejak
2024-05-02 01:23:14 +0000 UTCGranted, 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?
