Like the post says, I finished installing a Wildfire Lift 9000 XLT with free LED kit promotion and I purchased the Bridge Jack.

I had to purchase a 12 Ga Extension Cord and replace a 15 AMP breaker with a 20 Amp Breaker. My wall wire was ran with 12 GA wire on a 15 AMP breaker. Wildfire lift motor requires 12 GA wire on a 20 AMP Circuit;

I initially wanted Wildfire to install the lift but there were no installers in my area. I opted to have the lift delivered directly to my home. ABF delivered it on a flatbed from their local distribution center. The driver was able to use the forklift on attached to the flatbed to bring the lift and the air jack into my shop. For the installation, myself and a friend of mine were able to get it installed in about 7 hours. We followed the Installation manual and the youtube video along with the electronic installation manual. The only issues we had is the plug on the hydraulic ram was a threaded brass fitting vs a plastic plug(We debated for a moment if that was the plug to be removed) For the motor mount bracket the manual says to use two large washers to shim the the leading edge of the mount. The shims were not included in the hardware package. We used two of the shipping washers. Also we were only able to install 3 of the 4 mounting bolts in the motor mount bracket (Mounting the motor on the front side) The 4th bolt did not come close to lining up. The hose clamp for the hydraulic hose provides the clamp and hardware but the pic shows using the lower mounting bolt of the cover to secure the hose. The manual could use a better picture of the hose clamp installation. Overall, I had no problem completing the installation. I had the engine hoist and strap along with car dollies to assist with installing the runways and flipping shipping frame with the lower runway.
I give Wildfire lifts A++++++++. FYI - I became aware of Wildfire lifts from watching Vice Grip Garage.

 

Looks like a pretty sweet setup. Nice work, and congrats!

 

Thanks.

 

When I saw the title I thought your post was on a suspension lift!

I'm envious, not just of the lift but of the size of your shop!

 

Looks great. Believe me, once you're spoiled with a lift, you'll never go back to working on the ground.

 

Amen! Full time it is storing mu utility trailer in the air and my 89 S15 Jimmy underneath.

 

Are you planning on bolting it down? I know you don't absolutely have to, but it just seemed wrong to me not to.

 

No, It is very stable and safe without bolting it down. It also has casters that you can install and move the lift around if you need to.. I installed the casters after assy. to move it out from the back wall about a foot more. The casters can only be used on a empty lift. The casters pin to each leg and are like a see saw. With the casters installed you lower the lift and it will raise the corners and you can move the lift by hand.

 

That's really cool! As if I wasn't already jealous.
