placed the order for a maxjax 2 post lift today. home depot will drop it in the driveway in 2 weeks. This is the only Max Jax on Home Depot. Excellent design and portable. Little scary though being portable but I'm sure they've done their geometry homework so it doesn't fold inward. I suppose as lo...
