    They have their own flat bottoms welded on so they are good to go...otherwise we just use 2" thick para laminate blocks left over from a construction project. I love being able to get down and roll around on the shop floor and get up as clean as when I started...lol. I've been known to be found under a vehicle on our way out for dinner awaiting the missus.

    Looks interesting and durable.

    Any idea how thick it is applied over an existing floor?

    Any rough idea on a sq ft cost? Just installed material, not prep, as that will vary greatly by floor condition I assume.

    Man I would love to do the epoxy floor my new house/garage but with all the oil marks, some the size of a Prius, it most likely wouldn't hold even with a shit ton of prep so I might look in to the nice garage tiles or put in a tile floor.

    Nice setup, do you make skins for the tacoma?

    Also, I noticed you have cardboard under your jack stands. My guess is to protect the nice epoxy floor? But you didn't use cardboard underneath your floor jack?

    I'm asking because I have a few month old epoxy floor professionally done and I'm shopping for a new floor jack. The epoxy in my garage is not 100% smooth, it has a bit of texture on it and I'm concerned the metal rollers / wheels on the floor jack could damage the epoxy floor over time.

    I'm leaning towards the Pro Eagle big wheel floor jack thinking the softer tires would be easier on the epoxy.

    Have you noticed any scratches on your epoxy due to the floor jack rollers or am I being a bit paranoid?
