Awesome product, but a challenge to install
This is a great product. Really a thoughtful design. Definitely 5 stars and I may get another one for the other side of the garage. That said, it was a pain to install. A couple of notes here about my install process. Maybe it will help someone.- I agree with a previous reviewer that the 7/32 inch drill bet is the best size for the pilot holes--at least for the bolts that came with my kit. 0.2 inch (i.e. 13/64) would not be big enough.- I spent many hours on this project. More than I care to admit. The hardest thing by far was finding the ceiling joists and getting the template exactly in place. In the end, I never got it done in the normal way with the whole cardboard template intact. I ended up cutting off the long ends of the cardboard template and using them individually along the 2 joists that were 48 inches apart. That worked, but still took some extra effort. I had to redo the markings a couple times because they weren't lined up well enough. What worked best was measuring the edge of the template ends to the wall. It was just about 4' exactly for me, which allowed me to use a long leveler to get flush against the wall to come straight out from the wall. Not sure if that makes any sense, but maybe it will if you fight the battle. I'm not recommending you do it this way, it's just how I ended up doing it.- Putting up the template really should be a 2 person job (at least), but you need to get everyone on ladders or truck beds to be high enough to get it up there.- One thing I realized after-the-fact is how the cables come out in a triangular fashion from one side to the other. I didn't take that into consideration when mounting the ceiling brackets. So when the rack is fully let down, on of the cables goes right over one of my ceiling light fixtures such that I will need either a very low-profile lightbulb or maybe just replace it with a recessed fixture. That's a bummer and a project for another day, but I probably won't let it down all the way too often since I'm mainly using this as a Jeep hardtop hoist. So instead I may just remove the light bulb any time I need to let it down fully.Hope this helps. I found many of the other reviewers' comments helpful, so I wanted to provide some of my own. Good luck with installation. In the end, it's worth it!
