Nice! Share your parts list/photos if you're able.

P.S. where's your garage roof?!

I can't tell from the picture, how did you lift the front? I keep hoping there is "something" up there to rig to.

I just used hooks through the C Pillar bolt holes. Will post better pics soon.

did you feel the C-Pillar bolt holes are strong enough to support it in the air for long periods of time? I'm nervous about that. Thx for sharing your setup

I did. I tied hooks to the hoisting lines and just put them into the C pillar bracket holes. The load on the front feels very light, and seemed to have no effect on the brackets when lifting and storing. Most of the weight seems to be on the rear strap which I placed right at the rear guiding pin. I hope I'm not missing anything!

So any issues with using the C pillar bracket holes? and any more pics.

This is along the same lines. But instead of strap it’s a bracket. Almost balanced so very little load on front.

looks great. any pics of that front setup? I'm having a hard time visualizing what you did there.

i was thinking of just doing the strap underneath on the front, just like you have on the back. anybody see any problems with that?
