Nope but I am planning on buying a conventional 2 post lift such as this:

which is more practical and not much more expensive. Appreciate not everyone has the height available to install one. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

I dont think I would fancy laying underneath that Costco lift it looks a bit flimsy to me, might be ok for a small car but the FL2 weighs over two tonnes... Splat Shocked

Hello, Think I wouldn’t trust my life with something like that as it looks slightly not strong, just imagine the consequences of a failure, I had once upon a time a Mercedes G wagon slip off a two post ramp as the customer had it oil sprayed, the support pads on the ramp were impregnated with oil, the car just slid forward and the oil drainer stopped the car from falling, Never again would I trust a two post ramp. That was a Mercedes main dealer back in late 1990’s. A proper sized trolley jack and proper axle stands, solid ground and a back up system is what I use now if I was thinking of crawling under my car or any car, ramps are good but even they have to be hefty. On the drive is a risky business especially lifting cars, they are unpredictable.
