    I'm considering buying this model but wondered how much room you have to open the doors on the vehicles compared to a true asymmetrical lift where the posts are rotated 30 degrees. My other Bendpak lifts ( XPR-10AS) have been discontinued. I know it makes sense for a company to only have to manufacture one set of uprights, but I think on the consumer side there will be less clearance to open the doors. Even when set up "asymmetrically" with their bent front arm, I wonder how much room you have to open the door to work or at least get in/out. Thanks for the video!

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 6 часов назад

      @atomautowerks2172 I have my 94 gmc 1500 standard cab short bed on the lift right now and I can open its door almost all the way . And the steering wheel is at the back of the post and the back of the door mirror is forward of thr front of the post if that makes sense. All the normal vehicles I have had on it so far I had no problems opening the doors but I did have an astro van on the lift and that was a little tighter hut because the back of the door was inline with the post . I do have the lift setup in the wide configuration also . Hope that helps some . Thanks for watching!

    Hey Ken appreciate your videos I have the exact same shop and I've actually been copying some of the things you've done because they've been great ideas.... question your loft is 10 ft tall and does it come out 10 ft from the back wall because when I measure out to my first structural pillar that's 20 ft and that just seems too big for a loft and it takes up too much of the open area so also besides the height and depth of the Loft would you change the size of it for any reason it seems like 20 ft would just be too deep and take up too much of that big open space especially if you're going to put in a car lift and stuff like that and because of you I found out I could put the black insulation in the roof and I did that and I like it it's really neat looking now

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop Месяц назад

      Hey Joe, thanks ! My loft is actually 12' off the back wall, and the floor height is 10' . Yeah, I originally thought I'd want it 20' also, but I'm glad I went with the 12' . I'm actually really happy with the layout of mine as is . I had thought maybe I should have gone with 9' floor to give more height upstairs but as it is now the my toolbox open I still have room between the lid and ceiling fan above it so again glad I did stick to the 10' floor . It's awesome that you went with the black insulation. Everyone seems to like it in mine when they see it in person, too . Thanks again for watching, and it's awesome that I could inspire some ideas for yours, too ! I think I answered everything and feel free to reach out if I can answer anything else

      I actually had considered it at one point with doing one or two 2 zone units like 2 heads on the side wall where my 2 units are now and doing another on the back wall with a big head downstairs and a small one upstairs in the office but just wasn't sure exactly how I was finishing out everything and also didn't want to spend the extra that the multi zone cost plus I would have needed longer lineset extension for them so even more cost so I settled for these but so far I have been happy with them and they do good heating and cooling the shop .

    Thx for sharing your build and costs. I just finished my 24x32x10 with 8/12 pitch roof to allow my lift. It's stick built by me. Insulated R15 walls, R19 ceiling, OSB walls, 24k mini split, 9k lift came in at just under $44k. 5" 3500# monolithic slab was $10.5k and I hired the shingle roof for$6800. I did use lifetime guarantee Sherwin Williams paint. 15 gal for $1,200 on sale @ 30% off. Yes. HD paint only would have cost 1/3 as much, but it took 4 coats to cover the wooden carriage doors,10x9, and they don't look as good as the 2 coats of SW on the rest of the shop! Will have to go back and watch the playlist. THX. again!

So far im still very happy with them , my only complaint is the app and for the most part that was ok too but because I was using the remotes in the center of the room on fallow me to better balance the temperature from one side of the shop to the other , once i started using the app it was using tge temp at the unit instead of the remote and in turn was keeping the far side of the shop much colder in the winter by like 6+ degrees so i stopped using the app and just went back to the remotes but now i cant turn them on or off unless im in the shop but ....

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 2 месяца назад

      Happy to answer, so my wall height of my building is 16' . Under the beams it a little shorter . Most average car lifts require about a 12' ceiling height as a minimum but my lift is actually 13'1" . My mezzanine floor height is 10' so the ceiling under it is about 9'1" . The office ceiling I think is right around 7' if I remember correctly and the bathroom ceiling slopes down with the roof . The storage loft above the office is like 4' tall at the front and 18" tall at its lowest point 10' back so that floor space there is like 10x11'4" . Thanks for watching and thank you ! If you have any other questions just let me know I'll try my best to answer or better explain

How deep is the rock in the far corner? Does the rock depth vary? On the mezzanine...reason you preferred osb over sheet rock?

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 2 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching! It was about a 4' drop to the far back right corner. So yes, they cleared all the vegetation off and got down to undisturbed soil, then built it up with 3" recycled concrete. I did the osb just because that's what I was doing downstairs on the bottom 8' and figured it would be a little tuffer then drywall and eaiser to hang stuff on . Inside the office and bathroom will be all drywall though just to give a nicer finished look . OK cool I have been thinking about doing that longer version soon just to help better answer questions people have had . As for the concrete sealer I used is Concrete Sealers USA ps100.

    Was your long Hyd hose a little too long? Did yours come with 14-4 even those the micro switch only needs two wires?

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 2 месяца назад

      Sorry just now seeing your question. I can't remember which one it was now but I think it might have been that one that seemed like it was just a little too long and made it difficult to secure it so it wouldn't be in the way of anything as the lift went up like there was just a little too much slack making it bunch up instead of laying flat/straight. And yes it came with that 14-3 s.o. (4 wire) cord to wire the micro switch and only uses 2 of the wires . Thanks for watching, and hope your install went OK

    Help from anyone please? I have a cosmetically beat up 05 XB… would it be cheaper to buy one that looks nice or to get a couple of small dents fixed, spoiler, door lock actuators, windows get stuck, new wheels, and a paint job on my current one? Ones in good condition (much nicer looking than mine) and a few more miles can be found around me in the $5k+ range. I obviously know nothing about fixing up cars

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 2 месяца назад

      That's a tough call honestly , really if you have one that's in great mechanical condition and lower miles it might be worth getting it cosmetically fixed up but paint and body can definitely be expensive. Maybe get a few quotes from some local shops to see what all the repairs on yours might cost ya and then do the math to see which is the better route to take . Sorry probably not the answer you we're looking for but good luck

      My front windows also used to get stuck, I found replacements on Amazon and fixed them within an hour after some RUclips vids! The door lock actuators all have to be replaced so you’re not taking each one out to figure out which one is causing the issue, cause if ones out, they’ll all go out so might as well! I did that while I was fixing the window actuator too since the panels were off, that took maybe an hour and a half but only cause I decided to do all this at the end of a Bay Area summer 😂 Super easy tho and I don’t consider myself a fixer upper of cars but I sure can fix this car! RUclips is your friend!

My rear bumper was seriously messed up and I found one that was the same color, minor scratches but not as bad of a crack like my previous one had!

    Did you lubricate the wire cables like it says in the directions with 90w gear oil? Seems like it would stink up the entire shop as well as be a pain in the but now that you cant reach the cable that is inside the lifting carriage . Also how far on did you thread on the nuts on the equalization cables before making them level? The instructions just say secure nuts tightly. So do you just thread them on an inch on both sides and then level from there or thread them both on more or less before leveling. Thanks for the video.

    • @kenschopshop
      @kenschopshop 3 месяца назад

      I didn't see it say what oil to use on the cables, but I did spray them with some spray gel lube. I can't remember what it was off hand now . I tightened them down until the slack was out of the cables, then started adjusting until they were level and then fine-tuned them by the sound of hitting the stops at the same time .
