[T2] Bus Lift for Maintenance

[Kevin Guarnotta]

I have a jack that lifts the bus pretty high, it is nice in that it only takes like one or two pumps to reach the underside of my bus. I’m not sure what the feature is called – but way nicer than what I had before where I had to pump like 10 or 15 times before I got to the underside of the bus.

I use this in conjunction with jackstands. It is not the best – as I can’t always get it as high as I like, and inevitably the stands seem to get in the way.

I got a pair of rhino ramps (or something like that) which are quite nice for lifting one end or the other (not both at the same time 😉. These are nice I can just drive my bus up, or back it up – and the bus gets pretty high, or high enough for most work, and I feel like the bus is really solild on them.

Ideally, I’d love a lift, but then I’d need a new garage – as my current garage does not have a very high roof. Kind of give me a reason to move -
