SAN DIEGO: I'LL BUY YOU IN N OUT LUNCH

Another SD Head, Yo! Just saw this post now, I would've helped... Is the 32nd naval base auto hobby shop free to use? Just show military id? I can't remember. Also do they have full car lifts for use?

 

It depends, $5 for an open stall (all-day), $10 for the two-post lift, and I think the drive on lift is $20.

 

Looks good!

 

This

 

How much was the lift kit, and where did you source it, if I may ask?

 

Everything was Amazon at the moment. It beat the price of both Wheelers and Headstrong the day I was purchasing. Only exception was the AAL from Wheelers. I was so pumped that I didn't take before and after pics also was in such a time crunch I didn't take pics during the install.

 

Civilian equivalent is "Maker Shop".

Google is your friend.

Most only have a 3D printer, and maybe a CNC, but some have lifts, lathes, mills, English hammers, TIG & MIG, etc.

 

There are also rent-a-bays in places. Not sure if it's actually a good business model though, the ones in Dallas lasted about a year before closing.

 

There is a DIY garage shop in Los Angeles county. Has rental stalls with hydraulic lift and all kinds of tools available.

 

God bless you guys! Thanks for your service too!

 

Just FaceTime me when you're ready. I'll walk you through it from a beach in Hawaii. I'll supply my own Heinekens

 

It's completed thanks for the interest!

 

Google was not my friend… gave me locations for dip n dots, cabinet makers and makerspace

I would love to have access to a lift, tired of being on my back crawling around

Edit: rent a bay wasn’t any help either with the closest I could find 230 miles granted I’m not in a big city either so there’s that

 

I moved from HB to the Atlanta area ..... I would definitely help for some In &Out burger........




Damn

 

No?

Full refund, then.

There's nothing near me, either. I have to drive 20+ miles, one way, to buy about-to-expire milk. It isn't fair. How could this happen??

Oh yeah... I remember now. I moved here.

Only one option left.

"Dearest Santa,..."

 

Dear santa won’t work in my garage unfortunately- to damn small. I’ll have to stick with jack stands and a creeper

 

That looks nasty.

I want one...

 

Santa makes out buildings too.

8-bays? Two w/lifts? A lathe/mill off to the side, next to the tire-changing topless barmaid?

I dunno about you, but the bigger I dream, the better my disappointments turn out. "Only 4 bays?? WTF! MLS!"

 

He’d have to buy the empty lot next to me (might already be sold for 100k) I guess I was a bad boy

All that sounds like a great dream though especially the barmaid… topless of course

 

Depends on whether she gets the tires on the wheels the right way, but yeah.
