So I picked this up. The switch was stolen off the pump to fix another lift. So I had to hunt down a switch and box. Rick found one at work that I made work.

The plan:
Clean up the lift and roller paint it.
Put new pads or rubber mats
Put a switch on the pump.

Then sell it to buy crap for the jeep. But.... What's it worth? The motor along is worth $4-500, add the hydro pump another couple hundred. Then what is the actual lift itself worth?? I might possible be able to get a 60, but for sure get BL's , New rockers, and maybe a Dana 300. Or trade up for something..

So here's what I'm starting with.

Here's the pump with the new switch installed. I ended up getting a 60 amp momentary start switch. More amp's than I need but this is the style of switch I was wanting.

Well got it all together today. Fired it up and started to lift, then the ram started to leak. :gay: So I need to rebuild the ram but the pump motor works great and I got it painted.

Alrighty.. Well thanks to Rick he was able to rebuild the ram for ubber cheap. So I was able to put it together and test it out. Now candice is telling me to keep it. Maybe I will and start working on crap out of the house for extra jeep money. Tomorrow I'll put the jeep on it and see how it lifts with the linked suspension. I think I might have to use a lot of blocks.
