4 post lifts


I just got the Dannmar 7x, the GT fits perfectly. From the reading I've done there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of difference in the current list of lifts. The reason I went with Dannmar was you had Costco to back it up.

and it's a $2000 Chinese lift. Buy a Backyard buddy.
 
Costco usually buys very good quality product, as they pride themselves on perfect customer service. While the Danmar lift may be less expensive than say, a Pro Park, which I happen to own, it's unlikely that it is "Chinese made junk". It may be Chinese made, but I'd bet quality is excellent. In any case, because it's Costco, you can return it to them, at their expense, anytime through it's life, if you're unhappy, no questions asked. I looked at the Danmar while shopping for a lift, but went with the Pro Park instead, only because the Pro Park has greater a greater rise and additional safety locks. Price wasn't far off between the two either.

Interesting the way Babco pisses all over the Pro Park. Sounds more like some sort of battle between Directlift and Babco to me...like a vengence war. Very unprofessional too.

This is what is written on the Babco site --

"Although we’d like to say that both candidates have their strong points, our comparison proves it’s a little more than one-sided. Let’s face it, the Direct Lift’s best selling point is price--and even there the discount is not worth what you’re losing. Price is what you pay for a product or service; cost is what you pay over the lifetime of the product. We’re proud to say that BendPak is not only the car lift global leader, but the support and service global leader as well."

Nothing more than a pissing match - I wouldn't buy shit from these guys...Good that I didn't buy the Danmar - since it's from them.

If the only way you can sell something is by pissing over someone else's product...you shouldn't be selling.

Sounds like alot of wholesome activity to me!

Believe it or not, like you I have a 2007 Grabber Orange GT 500...but my BOSS is White and GT Blue. The six of them would be a good picture nonetheless!

I used to have a white BOSS 302 - bought it in San Diego in 1976. It was one of the few zero option BOSSs to leave Dearborn. Sold it in 1983 to buy a Chevy stationwagon for the family.

I hear you. Had to sell my Calypso Coral BOSS after two years in high school in 1974...did not want to take it to college and had to sell it to have cash to buy another car.....a 69 VW Squareback! What a let down!

Just read your signature line...............You bought a DODGE pick-up? :confused:biggrin

Looks like you took your pic in front of Griot's headquarters?

Yep...........been a FORD guy since I was 19 and I was ready to but a new FORD F350 but didn't want to be a tester for the new FORD 6.7 diesel. I also didn't like the idea of having to use diesel exaust fluid. The 2011 Dodge (RAM) Laramie 3500 MEGACAB diesel dually I bought has a 100000 mile warranty on the drive train, no DEF, and was 10K cheaper then the FORD King Ranch - and it has heated rear seats!

The FGT pic was infact taken at Griots during the SVT rendezvous. I was the only FGT at the SVT show last year but I have seen as many as 5 FGTs at this show. Maybe the local FGT guys can meet up this year at the show?

Ed - Has a date/location been established for 2011? Last year there was a conflict with a Sovren race.

But we did have 5 GT's at the A&W Issaquah gathering. Must have been wet on your side of the bay that day.

Sorry to have thoroughly hijacked this thread......the SVT show (at Griots) is on May 15.
