That #Stivalife tho.....

Post pictures of living the dream. I'm talking all the way from the outback to the race track, grocery store to the top of the highest mountain you could climb. Let's see your Stivalife.

To me the festiva life is about how versatile these cars are and how you can use them for anything and you do everything with them.
Hauling boats

To being a boat

Winter beater/off road/dune buggy

Renovating your house

Drag racing

And being a wedding car.


And beating cars that really should be faster than you.

That's sad. It's good that you are okay though.

Color me jealous!!! That's tight.

I think I first heard about the maxjax portable from you a few years ago, had it in the back of my mind since. Finally finished getting it installed Tuesday around midnight. It's had 3 vehicles on it so far... quite pleased!
So thanks for the tip!

My pleasure. How did you mount yours? I was planning on 2 width options (keep one stationary and the other having two different points. You know, Festiva sized and normal car sized lol). I was looking at making large T nuts and sinking them in 8" of 5k psi with rebar.

[skeeters_keeper]

It comes with anchors. Drill 7/8" holes (5 per post), hammer the anchor in then using a supplied nut and bolt the anchor pulls up in the concrete wedging itself in place. Similar to a standard RedHead anchor, but it leaves the female threads in the floor so everything is sub flush.

They recommend something like 95-105" spacing for small cars, 105-115 for mid size cars, and 115-125 for trucks/suvs. I put them at 115". Primarily I'll be using them on Festivas, but I also put my wife's Sentra up on them yesterday and between my dad and Chris it'll see a few Subarus. I have no intention of working on bigger trucks etc with it.
I think the 115" is good for what I want. I would not go with the more narrow spacing for Festys... The wheel base is so short the arms are almost fully retracted even at the 115" spacing, and they baaarely swing past the front tires. If it was spaced at 105" I think I'd have to swing the back arms under, push the car forward a few inches, swing the front arms under and then roll the car back. NBD but I don't see any reason to have them closer than 115".

Also you can lift a stock festiva with the supplied ~3" spacers installed, and Skeeter just cleared the pads as it sits now, but at least I didn't have to jack it up at all to get it on the pads!

Think it'll handle a CJ at 115"? The frame is shorter than a Festiva. And I likely will wind up lifting one at some point when I get the garage built.
