DIY Auto Lift Install! Step By Step! TMG Industrial ALT-100

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew! Your former employer must miss you a lot. But now you are living yours and Tiffany’s dream instead of some corporation’s dream. I continue to be very happy and proud of you two. Excellent video. You explain the process very well. Not everyone can do that. Congratulations, Young Man.

[@TKCL]

Thank you so much, I'm very blessed, no doubt.

@tkcl as somebody with an automotive background and has worked on everything from a clients car to fuel altereds and NHRA Top Fuel Dragsters, I can’t tell you how happy this video makes me! It is a dream of mine to have a shop where I can work on my own vehicles for maintenance and how well this video was put together! Great job with another awesome video and I can’t wait for more videos to see how useful this lift will be for you!

[@TKCL]

Thank you so much, this is going to be such a huge helping hand for me.

Awesome lift Andrew. Definitely will be nice to work with rather than on the ground for sure

Yes it will

Its midnight, but im finally getting to watch this video 😂

My son and I installed out Triumph NTO-11A lift. It’s an 11k lift but it is identical to yours. Life changing! You’re gonna love it.

[@TKCL]

This is going to be such a blessing. After 40 years I'm off of the ground. Glad you enjoy yours.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

@@TKCLexcellent job on this video. I’m taking notes on your style. 👊

[@JimmyHensley36]

We’ve installed 5 different lifts me and the bossman where I work in the last 30 yrs . He likes American lifts , I have learned that we always want our vehicle a tad lower in the back . I watch the wheels and I like for my fronts wheels to come off the ground about 2 inchs before my back wheels come off the ground . It’s just what we like with all the weight up front . Has worked for 30 plus yrs for us . Great video Andrew and I don’t know how you did it by yourself . Great content sir .

[@TKCL]

Thank you for the feedback

[@JDMM150]

Great Video. I have installed a few ramps over the years here in the U.K. Couple of things we have always done is use longer anchor bolts or long threaded bar and a chemical fixing to make it a stronger 'anchor' as we dont trust them shorter anchor bolts but it does always depend on your substrate. Another thing every ramp I have installed or worked on (mechanic over 15 years) there are two nuts on the end of the cable and you lock them together. Not sure if I missed that or if you only showed one nut on the end of the cable.

[@hrlee2381]

What a lot of steps to get your new lift installed. Great addition to your shop. Great detailed description.

[@TDMayday]

That lift is awesome I hope that you will do a series of videos using it and ripping your transmission and engine out and then putting it back together!

[@TKCL]

I hope I don't have to touch a transmission engine anytime soon mother than basic maintenance. 😉

that brought back memories!

How many have you installed? Or worked under?

Here a hint for you to protect your doors from dings and scratches . Place some rubber on the posts where your door hits the post

[@TKCL]

The lift came with rubber bumpers, I forgot to show it.

[@johnkirby6547]

Nice job Andrew 👏 That's a very nice lift, will get years of use.

[@TKCL]

I hope so!

[@robertmalis4493]

Andrew, you should make sure you pick up some car support jacks they have them at vevor very important crucial safety. I’ve seen a couple cars fall off two post lift at the shop I worked at.

[@TKCL]

I already have them, two 4000lb support stands.

[@deano641]

Andrew, glue/attach some rubber strips on the corners of the main columns, where opening the vehicles doors will/could make contact with the lift.

[@TKCL]

I forgot to show it, the lift came with rubber bumpers to protect car doors.

[@hhazelhoff1363]

Excellent video, much appreciated

[@johnsoper6931]

Nice setup a lift is a big help especially as you get older. FYI on chalk line chalk, the blue will go away fast where as red chalk has dye and will be there for years.

[@TKCL]

I 100 percent agree on the chalk.

[@perrybridgemen2918]

Excellent video Andrew! Very detailed and well thought out as usual! I emailed you regarding the lift adapters. Please take a look when you've time. Appreciate you!

[@TKCL]

Thanks, I'll be going through emails today and tomorrow after taking a break due to the holiday weekend.

[@timdavis1893]

You can also put some padding on the side of the lift. In case a door does contact the lift or if you need to rest the door on it. If you need to get in and out of the vehicle.

[@TKCL]

I forgot to show it, the lift came with rubber bumpers, so all is well.

Andrew, better keep an eye on the waves headed to the gulf. Some are showing a wave hitting the gulf, blowing up to a cat 4 and turning towards you and some are showing models of it coming to me. Should be in the gulf by the 6th then butt pucker mode for you or me :)

Great project!! i don't trust those two post lifts.... I'd have to go for one of those drive on/four post and rail lifts.... haha

[@TKCL]

I don't like the room the 4 posts take up.

[@luim0924]

Excellent video! You are full of surprises. Are you going to add a "bumper" to your pole so your vehicle for doesn't get scratched? (Just in case)

[@TKCL]

I forgot to show it, but the lift came with rubber bumpers.

[@stuartkorte1642]

I’m 6’6” 😮 excellent instructions, hitting on all the important items. Did you have to bleed the hydraulics? Did you consider a 4 post? Next welding project will be the safe safety post for front and rear.

[@TKCL]

Hydraulics automatically bled after repeat up and down motions. Watch your level. 4 post takes up too much room, I need to be able to wheel around my welding table. Glad you enjoyed it

[@titotito7495]

Always been a wish of mine to put one in…

WOW... appreciate you. The way you used the forks and a safety chain to lift the post has removed a quandry for me. I'll also be doing this alone and that was a concern for me.

I liked it ok, it's not very powerful. I bought this one amzn.to/3Xu9Jmj and couldn't be any happier. It BLOWS away the Dewalt.

[@lolife999]

No epoxy on the anchor bolts? I thought that was standard practice.

[@TKCL]

@@lolife999 it is not standard practice, it's optional. And I won't do anything not suggested in the manual or by the mounting hardware manufacturer. If it's been tested and certified as is, I'm strictly following the instructions.

[@CliffsideStables]

I’m really interested to know why you selected this particular brand? Also why that specific model? THANKS, Tim in northern TN

[@TKCL]

Two reasons if I am being honest. One, I had already ordered equipment from them in the past and liked the overall process. Two, they did sponsor this video after watching a lot of my content. With that said, I still wouldn't have went with it if it had not been certified (it is) and had the specs it does. I looked at a lot of other lifts, some literally had no ratings or certifications for testing or engineering. Stay away from those cheaper brands.

[@chrisavila2073]

Good I need a lift my son race car needs a new transmission. I won't have to pay on ground any more

[@TKCL]

As soon as I get that rent you've been promising 🤔

[@royd8866]

Andrew! Be very careful with a lift Made In China... I've been working for 28yrs twisting wrenches and if some safety part of that lift fails it's not worth saving a few bucks. I just read a thread of a guy who bought one and found out where it was made and decided to sell it. I don't normally comment on anything but I couldn't resist🙏

[@jasonholloway998]

How much did that lift cost plus shipping?

[@TKCL]

Currently $4500 on their website with FREE shipping. They also have a two post bottom plate lift for $3300 and a 4 post lift. Link is in the video description for all the specs and pricing.

[@solly9953]

Kinda looks like you just put those limit switches in parallel instead of series,,, so as long as one limit switch has power, YOU HAVE POWER.

[@TKCL]

These are NOT batteries, there is no series or parralell. A switch is either open or closed. You make a loop through it either way.

[@solly9953]

@@TKCL I have no doubt you probably hooked it up right, especially how detailed you always are. I do understand that it’s not batteries but with that said having worked as an electrician for a good portion of my life, alternating current has parallel, series and combinations of both.
