Sounds good! Build it and they will come....

hey now dont laugh. :D mine i can move it around the garage from one annoying location to another annoying location! :icon14:

I know what you are saying... I was considering a vertical stand for a minute or two as well, then I saw the blank space on the wall and...... :tup:

updated with instructions in first post ;)

updated with pics from below to show the supports :tiphat:

just in case anyone was wondering, I washed and polished the wheels and tires... all the OCD members can sleep now! :icon17:

Bump for winter tire changeover!

You selling these now? :tup:

You should sell those!

I think this project is best left to DIYourselfer's.... it would be hard to ship this unit because of size and weight. I sold the one extra unit I had to another member here in Zedmonton. But if you have access to a welder and metal saw, this is one easy build! I suppose you could build it with carriage bolts too, but welding is more fun!

considering the weight i'd prefer welding than trusting 230lbs above my cars with acehardware made in china 25cent bolts. :D

nice work

I would think that with grade 5 hardware it would be strong enough, considering these are what are probably holding your car together it should hold a few tires. Besides the pieces would be lapped such that the steel itself bears most of the weight, the bolts are just to keep it from falling apart. I might try the bolt together option as I don't have a welder. I would probably trust bolts more than my welds anyway, LOL.

so do you really think those UL labels on cheap electronics actually went through UL approval (or without some sort of major waiver)? :tup:

^always the cynic.
