In this video we finish the install of our 2-post car lift in our driveway. Now this may be a really bad idea - or is it the best thing we ever did? After all, our weather is not as warm as in Australia. This is part two of two of the install video.

We hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching,

Who needs morning TV when you can watch LR time?
Next project is for Vera to sew a cover for the poles. To keep the rain and the snow away.
Yes definitely before the rain season starts. Christian
Superb engineering, superbly installed.
I can feel your satisfaction at having planned and built it all so well. Well done!
Trying to find a garage/shop with a pit these days is very difficult.
If you have a problem with squeaky suspension and you need to look underneath the car while somebody rocks it, a car lift is not ideal as it not only difficult to rock the car while it is off the ground, but the car lift will start to rock as well!
Ideally, you need a pit so that someone can be in it and hear exactly where the suspension is squeaking while somebody else rocks the vehicle from ground level.
Then you need a car lift to more easily replace the defective part.
Now Christian and Vera, you have both!
Wow. Probably the best outside lift installation in the world!
I love your know-how, your careful research, your thoroughness and also good humour.
I so very much enjoyed watching the two part two post lift installation videos.
It’s quite something to be competent in such a range of situations / operations.
Christian, your justified self-belief remains me of my foster father. He missed much formal schooling because of the Second World War, but by wars end, he knew how to do many things from electrical and mechanical engineering as well as early electronics, because he had been selected to be a junior assistant to some very able people working on radar.
Much later, he & his wife both signed up to The Open University in U.K. and took both foundation classes then university degrees in their chosen subjects. They were in their fifties when they took me on as a sullen teenager. They were such good parents to me and also role models which, to this day, is beneficial not only to my approach to life, but positively coloured my own parenting style.
Because my adult children know there’s no such thing as impossible, only “I don’t yet know enough to decide how to improve this situation”, this attitude rolls on into the way our grandchildren are being raised.
My foster father would, I am sure, have been a subscriber to LR Time!
Thank you, Christian and Vera for the enjoyable and educational content!
😃🙏🙋♀️
First Class workmanship Christian and Vera, when the lift manufacturer sees this episode they might offer you a job as their official lift installer in your area, thanks for another interesting and informative show
Agree, no regular installers would get any where near this standard
Great install. Looking forward to part 3 where Vera makes long waterproof covers like 'socks' to go over the posts to keep them all nice and covered up when not in use. Just like the material bags she makes for her spares and tools etc. 👍😁
LOL now she will see that as a challenge!
@@Colinpark that’s a good idea will keep it in good condition 🇬🇧
Get a couple of patio umbrella rain covers or put Veria’s sowing skills to good use and make some zipmup or velcro canvas post covers to keep the posts out of the worst of the weather 👍
I paid multiple times more for a MAHA 10k, 2 post lift that the company installed. The quality, care, precision and skill of your installation blows away the professional installers. Amazing Job from an incredible team.
I was raised in Kitzingen and Schweinfurt Germany as an Army brat. I've been to Darmstadt many tymes. Rarely see out door lifts here in TX cause of the extreme weather changes and tornadoes
They are here rare too. Very nice in the summer but rough in the winter. Not to compare with TX for sure.
This is the guy who really built Fring's lab.
Will make a big difference for you. The next project is to build a roof and sides to enclose it so you can work outside in the rain and snow. 🤔
Fantastic video and you guys are first class. I was thinking, finishing touches of some hanging flower baskets on the outside of the pillars would finish the look 😂.
Superb job!
Make sure that the rubber pads are in good condition with nothing slippery on them, or the car can slide off and fall!
Had to replace them indeed. Christian
One two poster vehicle hoist, "expertly installed", great work once again from Christian with a little supervision from Vera.
Lovely job folks, now we can look forward to some more LandRover fixing. I'd really like to have a hoist in my driveway but because I sold my LandRover and bought a Toyota it'd just go rusty.
I laugh whenever I hear an OMG from Vera. I appreciate your very German (detailed, to the spec) way of doing things. I'm the same way. Perhaps its in the genes. I'm a proud German-American descendant from Oldenburg.
I love this couple. Watched just 45 seconds and subscribed already. The commentary is awesome 👏
😃👍🙏🙋♀️Vera
Great example for the way a German engineer thinks and works! Every aspect of this project is accounted for and you improved the design by setting it flush and installing a drainage system. Whenever I struggle with my LR3 and my doubts are about to end in posting another ad to sell the car I watch your video and the world is at piece again… Danke schön ❤️
😅OMG.. that is such a precious comment. Thank you so much. 😃🙏🙋♀️Vera
Now you need to get made up two canvas socks to cover the posts in the winter
You guys are so funny together ... the one line comments... and the random "OMG". 😅 Its the accent also of course. The truthful mistakes that happen that makes it so genuine.. we will take the body off when engine blows up.. hahahah🤣. your accent reminds me of my grandpa....He was from munich .. Was in ww2 Obergruppenfuhrer .
A very great install Christian & Vera. You have thought of everything - way more than most would.
Make sure you keep the Acme threads in the uprights well greased Christian and be sure to use the correct grease as specified by the lift's manufacturer. I had 2 Bradbury lifts in my workshop and the Acme nuts do wear out eventually if you use the lift a lot, the correct grease will add years to the life of the nuts compared to ordinary general purpose grease. For the Bradbury lift they specified Castrol MS2 grease, it was quite fluid and the type of grease often used in automotive CV joints
Wasn't there a white stuff called Thelson grease for these. I recall the weight of heavy trucks on the 80's Bradbury lifts could rotate these nuts and lower the vehicle on its own if the wrong grease was used.
@@raycollington4310 The grease the manufacturer advises should be used I agree.
Driveway lift should be standard driveway option infront of any DIY's garage. Just Brilliant!
It is good to see a job being done so well with no "that's good enough" attitude. 👍👍🙂
Brilliant. Now Vera’s car’s engine will go on forever and never need the body off!
Excellent piece of work can bring my Discovery 4 over for a service wish you where in England
Hi Christian and Vera brilliant work .
Guten abend Vera & Christian 😀 We pay £159 in the UK 🇬🇧 too watch live tv and it’s absolutely awful 😫 If you don’t pay and watch live tv you could go to jail 😮 But LR time on a Sunday is the very best program to watch any day of the week 🤩 Have you had your hair done Vera…….🤔 That two post lift is the very best instalment I’ve ever seen 😁 Looking forward to seeing a LR body lifted off on it to see how easy and efficient it is when working on a LR 🤔 Take care both of you 👍🏻 love Stevie for Vera 😘 x
Same here in Germany, I think as of 2021 we have to pay 230€ for absolutely nothing. I don't even listen to the car radio. 🙋♀️Vera
Nothing better than Sunday morning coffee with Christian and Vera, oh my god.
Vera showed commonsense on where to installed the vehicle lift unlike Christian. Well done, Vera!!👋👋
I'm impressed by Christian's attention to detail. With the ivory colour paint you now have the sexiest looking 2 post lift in the world 🙂
Hi Christian & Vera, a belated thank you for such a useful tool. Altogether an essential tool for many modern cars that have tight engine compartments or that have separate subframes. Dare I suggest MB W168’s et al. Currently researching what’s involved in owning a Euro6 compliant LR diesel, one that has cabin headroom and more than 1.8m3 carrying space (with seats folded or removed).
Oh god their accents are so cute together!
Hats off to this family. Christian reminds me of my father. He was math teacher but knew all kind of stuf. There is so much knowledge written in the books or available on the internet that majority of people can do some serious work in diy manner. Growing up and hanging around my father I also learned to do all sorts of repairs, building jobs etc. In this day and age, that sort of skils and knowledge is priceless. Once again bravo to LR TIME team, keep up with the good work 👏
Thank you Petar. 😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
I’m very jealous of your lift 🤪😆😊😜
Wow, thanks for the shout out!
I'm so impressed with your workshop and skills. A lift like that would be brilliant in anyone's driveway. Well done!
Fantastic job our Disco 3 has had the gearbox re built (big job) and we are off to Italy on Saturday might see you and give you a wave on our way through Germany.
The most thorough install I’ve ever seen. Great videos on the install and thanks for sharing
That's brilliant Christian and Vera, i'm so jealous of your lift .
Can't wait to see it action , it's going to make your repair/maintenance so much quicker , and give you guys more time for yourselves and the boys . Vera the patch you got from from Australia is the wrong way up , it should be upside down lol
Nothing better to watch on a Sunday morning... Nigel
You've completed the work I wanted for years. But glad I didn't do it, I moved 3 times lol. I need this installed in my driveway
Vera we love you
😊🙏 Thank you Roderick🙋♀️Vera
Teamwork makes the dream work nice job 👍
There is a powerful "Breaking Bad" vibe watching Christian walking round that DIY store.
Great work and excellent installation, Vera & Christian. And from now on, the German TUV has to visit you annually and check the structural integrity and safe function of your car lift and the BG will check you workshop for safety. And you will need an oil separator in your water drain line. 🤣🤣🤣
Nicely done. Great job.
You two just get funnier each time .
Hoping to get my own lift this year.
💪💪👍😅🙋♀️Vera
Great job like how you're wife panics when everything you do but you know it's the right way good job 👏 👍
Nice to see that Christian is not only a Textbook Engineer, he can do also Concrete and paving.
So now I have seen Vera's LR3 on the Lift I am not more concerned about my one it's just the Color that is missing underneath, not corrosion.
That is what I'll be telling our TÜV guy and everyone elso commenting our underbody. Great comment. 😅💪💪👍🙋♀️Vera
Installing a hi lift at home....
Oh god why do other people have all the fun ?
😅
Excellent video C&V!
Christian is a proper nerd. We claim him as ours without any fear or favour.
😅🙋♀️Vera
Good job wish I had one,surprised your allowed one in Germany with all your rules and laws.👍
Well done guys. Proffessional!!
As usual, perfect job!
Is there no end to this mans talents...great episode !...great camera work Vera 🙄
😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
Excellent job 👍
Vera: - Yes, I've had that lecture two or three times already. Love it, love it!!
GDay Christian & Vera... Das ist ùber!
Luv ur werk....from your friends down under where the drop Bears and big Sharks live.......did I mention the King Brown Snake.....OMG!
Lift makes it ideal to clean underneath the chassis etc. So many opportunities have been presented now.wow I'm so jealous lol.😊😊
Christian & Vera...Very Well done, no surprise there , Bravo!!
You two are so talented. Great job. Nice outfits Vera. Christian, you are a wonderful mechanic.
I came across your channel because of your review of the Ineos. No real interest in Land Rovers before. Honestly, you’ve created a real gem of a channel. Keep up the good work.
😊🙏Thank you🙋♀️Vera
Awesome job, as usual. We'll done, looks stunning
You found time in between all this to get a haircut! Nice work
So clever 👏 This will come in very handy .. could you do the body off next Sunday please so that I know how to do mine soon haha 😄
No no no no no no no Not before October 15th 😅🙋♀️Vera
very nice job ,, the drain was a great idea
Great work guys. Well planned, well executed and an excellent result. Love your work.
Spectacular job as always!!!
Add the drain pipe was a superb extra feature. Next step: the car body removal to the Discovery 3!!!
💪
As soon as the engine fails. Or before… Christian
@@Vera_and_Christian Long life to your Discovery 3 engine… we can wait.
German engineering at it's finest!
I love your passion and your energy!
Great job just love watching you guys cheers
I found this video very uplifting and I was moved by it.... But seriously, fantastic and you all deserve a beer for all that hard work and excellent install.
😊👍 Thanks Colin🙋♀️Vera
Very nice job
Wow. Wow. Wow. 👌. Another excellent videos. You two guys are amazing 👏. I have been waiting for this one, to see how the lift project come an end.
But Christian you must be trouble. How dare you say "if this lift can lift you it can definitely lift a Discovery. " ha!ha!ha!🤣🤣🤣🤣 . I was in stitches. I just laughed my lungs out. To Vera, please stick an LR Time sticker on Christian's forehead . 😆😅😂. I always enjoy watching your videos, not only from a DIY perspective, but just seeing two love birds 🦜❤❤🦜 working collaboratively as a team with loads of fun. Keep up guys. I really love it. Christian and Vera, I can't wait for the next one. Have a wonderful week. See you next Sunday.
😅😊🙏 Thank you Kumbirayi 🙋♀️Vera
17:00 I came for Vera😍
And there was I saying how are you going to get the jeep in to the shed
I should have known it was all ready in the books 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍well done fantastic job 👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏
So pleased to see that you chemset the anchors on your lift. I used the stupid chinesium wedge anchors supplied with mine and they kept slipping. So I had to install an extra floor bracket and chemset that.
Subscribed to LR Time a few weeks ago and only just found the time to watch a few videos. Fantastic videos, great job on the 2 post lift install, well documented…gives me a few videos when I look to install a 2 post lift of my own, i especially liked the drainage and post linkages burried underground 👍, great job guys and keep up the good work 👍.
Great job. :) I envy you having that lift. I want one too. :D
Great two poster lift but you might also need a pair of stands to stabilise the front and rear end of the cars.
I noticed @Watch Wes Work he uses them when lifting heavy vehicles.
Awesome video again...
Great job!
fantastic to finally see it installed. huge respect for another very high quality piece of work. and congratulations to your son too!
Great install guys.. I have serious vehicle lift envy now.. Vera, guys only do shopping when they have to and they already know what they need on the way to the store. A real man never shops for pleasure👍💯 We are also crap at choosing paint colours.. This is the proper order of things.. great job 💯
Great video again guys, very entertaining, just one thing Christian you forgot to mention, Vera must of been sunbathing in back garden as she has wonderful tan 🌞🌞 ...I am at present looking to see if our UK building laws allow this in residential estate, as it's for private use only ...I do like you drainage system too, very well implemented ...can Vera make a canvas cover to go over entire lift to keep you dry and warm in winter🤔 ...thanks guys Norm's
😅 I don't sunbaths, I do sports. That is when you get the best tan. And yes, I don't ever want to miss our 2 post lift ever again. 💪🙋♀️Vera
Such a great addition to the workshop. I was able to use a friend's lift last week to replace the centre valve block and air compressor without crouching. Next week it's time for the air struts and the remainig valve blocks.
💪👍🙋♀️Vera
Excellent team ..I have a smile from the start to the finish........OMG ..:-) ....and a proud (most times ) owner of a LR3.. keep up the brilliant series ....
Well done
I so wish I lived close to you guys my days we would have the most amazing LR3s
Simply amazing .
Great inspiration for my outdoor hoist install. thanks from Perth, Western Australia .
😃👍 It is the best thing to have. 🙋♀️Vera
Absolutely marvellous great video Vera & Christin
Outstanding. If I were to install a lift outside, I would do my best to hire you to do it. I love seeing someone pay that much attention to the little details.
Oh shit! Oh shit!
I am positive we are the US version of you guys!
Cheers,
Bob & Jill
👍👌
I just love the German precision which is odd as I have owned my 1967 series 2a for 45 years and not come across true precision in all that time.😂
I like most people have been so looking forward to seeing the conclusion of the lift install. Absolutely brilliant job! Amazing attention to detail, and you will both find it so useful I'm sure. I used to have a pit in my previous garage and do miss it a lot, to have a two post lift at home is a phenomenal thing enjoy!
Excellent. Shows us what doing this correctly entails, i.e. a lot of work and thought. You made the right decision to do this. It will make most jobs so much easier and as you say, will allow you to do body off work.
EXCELLENT 👍
Fabulous mate and we'll done
Superb Video, first class installation - so much detail and the way the both of you work together is fantastic. Another brilliant episode.
Thank you 😊🙏🙋♀️Vera
Absolutely fantastic work. Perfectly installed. I see you’ve been working on your tan Vera. Such lovely weather in your part of the world now. It’s raining heavily here now, and we will probably end end getting about 100mm today. Unfortunately I had a bad accident on the freeway with my 4WD during the week so no driving for me for a while. 🙁. I think every viewer should become a Patreon too.
Oh man, so sorry to read that. Hope you are better soon. We haven't had any significant rain in over 6 weeks unfortunately. 🙋♀️Vera
Perfekt. Konstruktiv wie handwerklich einfach allererste Sahne. Dickes Kompliment!
Perfect. Construction wise and craftman wise simply top notch. Big compliment!
👍 👍
These two crack me up! I assume Christian is an engineer as he displays great attention to detail and precision with all aspects of the build. On a side note.....did you see all that wood! :) They are prepping for the gas shortages this winter!
We don't heat with gas. Here in Germany, timber has to dry for 2 to 3 years before you are supposed to burn it.
