And it looks like its even an international community, greetings from Germany I learned a lot technical stuff here on UA-cam and become better every day wrenching on stuff to keep my vehicles alive for decades and not spending money on modern electronics stuff that breaks when it wants to!
You can tell how late he stayed up the first night, and how anxious he was to get back the next day based on the Nike on his left foot and a New Balance on the right foot. Noticed it about the 46:00 mark, I don't know why I noticed.

This is a prime example of why I love watching your videos... You draw on your innate intelligence and wealth of experience to figure out the easiest/safest/most efficient way to do things, instead of trying brute force and/or simply giving up! I'm older than you, so please don't take this wrong -- but you remind me of my Dad! He was born and raised in Germany, and completed his training to become a tool and die maker in the old-fashioned German apprenticeship program. He could do pretty much anything, from repairing your watch, to plumbing, carpentry, automotive repairs, paving/concrete work, etc! And everything he did was well-thought-out, like you! He would have loved your channel; he would have loved your garage! Unfortunately, he passed away 20 years ago... Thanks for reminding me that incredible men like him are still around! ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))
I like that the lift is wide enough and tall enough to drive under or even park a second vehicle under. Helped my father build two of them to increase his storage capacity for his classics. His two car deep garage now fits four.
When I saw Vice grip garage having one installed I was impressed and I think that you putting one in your shop was an object lesson in how thoughtfully these lifts are designed and engineered, seeing as you completed the whole task without any issues and alone. A real bonus and such a boost to productivity, ease of working and filming. Very best wishes from the UK
Not gonna lie, If Mustie started a video with him just rolling around the corner of the go-kart track sitting on a couch on the top of this thing, that'd probably be the funniest shit I'd ever see in my entire life. Bonus points if it had a mile-long steering column attached to a lawn mower engine puttering the whole thing along.
Mustie, GOOD FOR YOU 👍. Everyone watching had a huge grin on their face... All for you 😃 Yep we’re all going to get a lot of knowledge and entertainment out of that lift. Gota send you another 👍
Very slick . I am almost 70 and when I was in twenties I like you crawled around on my back on a gravel driveway wrenching on cars. I pretty much envy you .
I'm so happy for you Mustie. Getting old limits us and things we did much younger. Glad you got the awesome lift and this is gonna add years to your production and therefore your viewers enjoyment. Homerun all the way.
Funny you talk about getting old and working on cars....then taking a day off...I did the front brakes on my pickup over the course of a day and a half, my knees were screaming the whole time. Took 3 days to recover....I could barely hobble around.
when assembled i thought ' that's a neat lift ' , then he raised it & put the bus under it ' that's a really neat lift ' , then when he wheeled it to the side ' here take my money & deliver it to me please '
When you started explaining I was totally thinking about VGG. When you finally said it, the word “awesome” involuntarily came out of my mouth. It’s a great Lift! I’m super pleased with this upgrade to the shop. Can’t wait to see you put it to good use. Well done Must. Well done.
As a guy that has worked alone for most of my adult life I can really appreciate a lot of the little subtle tricks for making one man do the work (slowly) of 2 or 3 guys. I especially that pause before you commit to a move to make absolutely sure everything is in place. I really enjoy your channel and I've shared it with a lot of friends.
Lol! True! I have friend that is a M.D, and when he's at get-togethers where leaches bug him with their problems, he always asks them to strip down.. :D Usually they take the point..
** saw it lift itself up onto the wheels and roll with one hand** “Huh... no shit” Nice lift. My dream is to have a garage big enough to have something like this.
It never ceases to amaze me watching Mustie do the work of 2 people and yet still film it all as well. A great start to Sunday as usual watching a Mustie1 video drinking my coffee. Cheers!
Wildfire lifts is now going to come with an assembly video showing single person assembly. :-). I love how patient and methodical you are. You also watch vice grip garage :-)
Hey Thanks again Mustie! Both myself and my cousin who is a retired vet in Alaska are longtime fans:) This video helped him pull the trigger on this lift and a few other accessories (He also purchased a set of plates that allow you to make the whole surface covered. It will be great for parking his various 4 wheelers, mowers and snowblowers etc out of the way during the winter ). Really have appreciated all of the great content over the years.
That is going to be such an asset to the shop! Keep at it! My dad is 75 and just pulled the transmission out of his 1972 Winnebago 😂 he never stops! Was good to see Ole Lucy getting some drive time love!
"Rookie"... HA! If you're a rookie, then you are the one I want on my team!! Love the shout out to Derek on Vice Grip Garage... I do enjoy it when one of my favorite channels references another one, and although you two would seem to be opposites, I don't think that would get in the way of your friendship!
Love to hear VGG getting some love. I heard Mustie getting recommended by Watch Wes Work earlier. Love the channel, I've learned a lot and you've saved me a lot of money since I subscribed to you!
When I was 78 I bought a used AMMCO lift. Unlike the lightweight metal of the wildfire it was extremely heavy. Start to finish and my wife is in her sixties we had it up and ready to go in less than four hours. Adjusted the cables later on prior to lifting a vehicle. No big deal just be careful regardless of your age it falls on you and won't have to worry about getting any older.
Great job. I remember when Eric the Car Guy got his lift. His joy was immense not having to get down on the concrete 8 hours a day. It will pay for itself because you will maintain all your vehicles undersides so much more.
I lol'd when you put the "FREE" pile together - I had already said to myself I wanted those stands on the right - then you quickly pulled those back!!! Good Form! And thanks for another Great Mustie 1 video to go with my Sunday morning covFEFE!
Cheap isnt always the best way to go, value for money also means longevity/quality of the thing being purchased, hats off to ya for another job well done.
"go to work"? Wait what? Mustie1 has a job? A real job? (you know what I mean) No no no no no. He's mustie1, I always thought being mustie1 was his job
You've worked for your supper You're a Staple on UA-cam You deserve a decent garage and tools, now your videos can reflect this. I'm very happy for you!
Awwe! You are so fortunate to have one of these lifts. Making work under vehicles a cinch, especially when your joints suffer from scrambling around on the floor under jacked up vehicles. Ughh! Congratulations, and loved the construction video.
When I watched VGG put his together it seemed fairly straightforward but obviously much easier with more people involved in the process...lol. Derek was very pleased with all the functions it provided as for being "mobile" as well. After now seeing you and Derek both have this lift it has helped me in my decision as to wanting to buy the same one for my shop. I do classic ford restorations in my pole barn garage I recently constructed at my house. Seeing the mobility and storage options this provides makes this choice a "no brainer" it would seem.
I'm happy for you buddy, I could feel your excitement you have busted your ass and earned this you deserve it I'm looking forward to your videos using this
If I had ‘heros’, you’d be one. I so appreciate all the work you do and the way in which you execute it. I’m on my way to building my ‘retirement shop’ and this is a great example of one of the tools I’ll be looking at/need as I too am your age and being partly disabled, I can no longer jump under and swing down to the ground like I used to on my trucks. Nowadays it’s just far too wasteful to bring your work to a shop for someone else to do what you already know how to do. Mustie, you have one fantastic channel and one more definite lifetime fan. S.
"I hope to keep going until I am 75" Dude, don't cut yourself short. I am 74 and still going strong. Here, let me fix that for ya - "I hope to keep going until I am 95". :)
I am already lucky. I put 2K miles on my ebike in the 10 months that I have owned it. I also bought and learned to ride an electric unicycle this year. I am blessed to be able to do what I do.
Hi Mustie; You sold it on me!!! I’m already 70+. I just ordered that same lift for me. I have 14’ trusses in my pole barn. This looks perfect. Now I have to wait a month or so for it to come in. I’ve been putting off fixing the trailer hitch on an old Subaru which is rusting through. I was dreading the job when I saw your YT. Thanks for motivating me (kick in the pants really) to investigate a lift. I agree the Wildfire is the best bang for the buck. One difference is I got the “Hand Bridge Jack” which suits me better as I don’t do this for a living. Besides my compressors capacity is a bit small. Anyway thanks much!!!!!! redrok
I so wanted to see that butterfly transition to a solarized image and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida fade in. Excellent video and lift, M. Well-deserved, I'd say. Thanks for sharing.
I was thinking same thing but just for a little extra safety. Than you could shim it to absolute level as well. I would also weld gussets in corners of factory pads to post but that's just me and I like overkill on safety with heavy objects above me.
I stopped being a mechanic because of low lifts (I am 6'6"), doing a totaly different job now. That lift of yours is a nice peace of equipment, it's huge! Love it!
So cool that you're a fan of Vice Grip Garage. You are what got me to start watching him. The world can sometimes be a wonderful place. Next I'm gonna hear that you're a fan of Alec Steele and my joy will be complete.
One suggestion; there is a "C" clip that attaches to the shroud behind the motor and oil tank that should be used to clip the hydraulic hose to insure its safety, especially when lowering the lift.
That's a sweet lift Mustie. Perfect for your needs. You showed us how good you are at using the tools at hand to get a two man job done with relative ease. Now ya gotta make some money with it.
I'm 60 and I work on vehicles a lot. Got an old four post lift about 8 years ago. It really, really helps a guy with some mileage on him get more done in a day, a week and a month. Would hate to go back to laying on the floor exclusively. Saw VGG's video too and was interested enough to go to the Mfg website and check it out. Looks like a good design, made right out of good materials. Congrats Mustie1, and Derek!
I watched the father and son owners of Wildfire Lifts put together the lift for Derek- Vice Grip Garage. This is a great piece of equipment for a you Mustie1! This will certainly be more entertaining
Haha me too. I raised my car for the first time in my new 2post. It's 13' high and was a challenge to install myself. But, it made it through an earthquake in Charlotte last night with a crown Vic raised all the way up so I figure I did ok🏆
zxggwrt , lol same thing here. I installed 2 post myself in my home garage. I have 3 part video on my channel about the installation process/suffering, lol. And I had(still have luckily) my Sienna up in the sky during this earthquake (30 min away from Charlotte), lol :)
@@HETPEZB Yup, process/suffering is how it's done! The house started shaking at 8:08 this morning first thing I did was run to the window and see if it was still up! Just did my 1st oil change 30 minutes ago after a through inspection and re torque.
I know exactly what you mean about getting older. I'm 53 and I find the easy way I can to get things done now. Great for you mustie you needed that lift. I watched Derek on vise grip install his...
So happy for you mustie1 ...long time subscriber here, and watched about every damn video from beginning to end... you definitely paid your dues to have that dream come true... 100% well deserved! ...Keep doing what you do. 😎👍
@@Paramike86 VGG and Mustie 1 don't strike me as being crossdressers, but you never know. You could always ask them. LOL! Both of'em have Vlogs that are hard to stop watching. I'd bet they are both pretty busy. I know they live miles apart. New Hampshire verses Minnesota. Still a good idea though.
You deserve such a nice lift Darrin. I'm excited to see you work with it. On a second note, I spent yesterday on my back under my pristine 2001 F-250 Super Duty using the air scaler and doing the frame and running gear in the Bar and Chain linseed oil blend shot through the undercoat gun. I snowmobile in the winter so my truck is in the Cascade Mountains of WA State a lot. Over the last several years, I was getting nervous about the rust I saw developing. But, I got her all cleaned up and applied your oil formula. It went on really well using the spray gun and brushing it into all the nooks and crevices and I can see that it is going be a good coating to stop the rust progression. No rot yet and I was pleased to find it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I'll keep an eye on it and reapply as needed. Thanks for the tip. I really enjoy your videos. Warmest Regards.
Mustie1- Also I bought a 71 Single Cab last month (Named Carl) and I was wondering if you know of good resource on the east coast for parts and such! Trying to working in an apartment parking lot makes me feel 20 again I can tell you that!
I bought a lift like this about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the tools you have, and I think my back still hurts today from moving the parts in place. Happy
Congrats on the purchase! You'll really enjoy it. Clever technique raising the posts. You've always got great ideas bud!
VGG got peepers mustie1.

I would want them both on my pit crew if I had one. If they couldn’t make it run, no one can.
Am I the only one who is stunned he has been in the “new” shop for a year and half !?!?! Wow how time flys !!!

I love how Mustiedoes everything in a way that is easy, by working smart. He doesn’t over exert himself.
When a guy watched Derek put his lift together he thought he just had to have one for himself....BRING THE THUNDER!!!
Well I'll be dipped. Another VGG fan. A guy has to acknowledge a guy for his comment.
I can't lie. I had a few cold snacks watching this vid'ja.
Or you could just do it "the right way"
That lift is waaaaay too tall...perfect :-)
@@Craig_Simpson this lift needs two people to fix it so i did the right thing

I had the exact same thought.
Same here.

What a real gent our buddy Mustie is, even tipping the forklift driver 🎩🎩
Glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Good man.
From starting in gravel to finally graduating to concrete and a small garage... I can appreciate what you’ve accomplished..
You can tell how late he stayed up the first night, and how anxious he was to get back the next day based on the Nike on his left foot and a New Balance on the right foot. Noticed it about the 46:00 mark, I don't know why I noticed.
I thought i noticed that but wasnt sure

It's got wheels? Next week on Mustie1 - "Let's see if we can find an engine for this thing and see what she does on the track..."

"I hope to keep going until I am 75" Dude, don't cut yourself short. I am 74 and still going strong. Here, let me fix that for ya - "I hope to keep going until I am 95". :)
95 is the new 75
I am already lucky. I put 2K miles on my ebike in the 10 months that I have owned it. I also bought and learned to ride an electric unicycle this year. I am blessed to be able to do what I do.
Man that is one cool lift! If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "Professional."
I’m pleased for you that you finally got your trucks and stuff off the floor. Well done.
Hi Mustie;
You sold it on me!!!
I’m already 70+.
I just ordered that same lift for me.
I have 14’ trusses in my pole barn. This looks perfect. Now I have to wait a month or so for it to come in.
I’ve been putting off fixing the trailer hitch on an old Subaru which is rusting through. I was dreading the job when I saw your YT.
Thanks for motivating me (kick in the pants really) to investigate a lift.
I agree the Wildfire is the best bang for the buck.
One difference is I got the “Hand Bridge Jack” which suits me better as I don’t do this for a living. Besides my compressors capacity is a bit small.
Anyway thanks much!!!!!!

“Keep the jokes to yourself” were all 12 yr olds at heart
lol,,,thats what my last 2 wives have said to me , that i was "60 yrs old going on 12"
Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional...
Steven Bauer ...my statement for sure.
“Assembles in under an hour” will be their next advertisement. Can’t wait to see two beetles parked on there simultaneously.
@phil veburst "Free" gets clicks, I doubt very much that any of it or much of truly is no cost. Love the channel, just being realistic.
Congrats! If anyone can use a new lift, it is you. Thanks for all your videos!
Love your ability to adapt and find a way…patience is a great part of your success..
I so wanted to see that butterfly transition to a solarized image and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida fade in.
Excellent video and lift, M. Well-deserved, I'd say. Thanks for sharing.
I’m 54 and still working on ground. Building a garage with a lift this fall. Sick of cleaning snow off of cars too😂
You could fabricate some large steel pads for under the feet if you were worried about the slab thickness.
I was thinking same thing but just for a little extra safety. Than you could shim it to absolute level as well. I would also weld gussets in corners of factory pads to post but that's just me and I like overkill on safety with heavy objects above me.
Congratulations on the new lift...wow you are gonna love it! Thanks for sharing.
Mr. Mustie1, Thank you for finding me, my new lift. This will work perfect for my new garage that I'm building in the spring.
I stopped being a mechanic because of low lifts (I am 6'6"), doing a totaly different job now.
That lift of yours is a nice peace of equipment, it's huge! Love it!
On a future Mustie1: installing a beam crane in the shop.
I was thinking the same thing!
21:09 "I had to go to work in the morning" WHAT?! I thought UA-cam was your job?
What is his day job?
Yes, I watch vice grip garage too and he loves his Wildfire Lift. Congratulations on your purchase and assembly.
So cool that you're a fan of Vice Grip Garage. You are what got me to start watching him. The world can sometimes be a wonderful place. Next I'm gonna hear that you're a fan of Alec Steele and my joy will be complete.
One suggestion; there is a "C" clip that attaches to the shroud behind the motor and oil tank that should be used to clip the hydraulic hose to insure its safety, especially when lowering the lift.
I worked for many years alone (and still do) and found it's just easier and faster than trying to explain your plan to another human being.
he's a good guy that Derek, vice grip and musti1 is sundays viewing, perfic.
That's a sweet lift Mustie. Perfect for your needs. You showed us how good you are at using the tools at hand to get a two man job done with relative ease. Now ya gotta make some money with it.
I'm 60 and I work on vehicles a lot. Got an old four post lift about 8 years ago. It really, really helps a guy with some mileage on him get more done in a day, a week and a month. Would hate to go back to laying on the floor exclusively. Saw VGG's video too and was interested enough to go to the Mfg website and check it out. Looks like a good design, made right out of good materials. Congrats Mustie1, and Derek!
I watched the father and son owners of Wildfire Lifts put together the lift for Derek- Vice Grip Garage. This is a great piece of equipment for a you Mustie1!
This will certainly be more entertaining
Before lift: Not looking forward to working on car.
After lift: Excited to work on car. If not excited at least not dreading it as before.
true l put off changing oil on 4 of my cars until it was up
Haha me too. I raised my car for the first time in my new 2post. It's 13' high and was a challenge to install myself. But, it made it through an earthquake in Charlotte last night with a crown Vic raised all the way up so I figure I did ok🏆
zxggwrt , lol same thing here. I installed 2 post myself in my home garage. I have 3 part video on my channel about the installation process/suffering, lol. And I had(still have luckily) my Sienna up in the sky during this earthquake (30 min away from Charlotte), lol :)
@@HETPEZB Yup, process/suffering is how it's done! The house started shaking at 8:08 this morning first thing I did was run to the window and see if it was still up! Just did my 1st oil change 30 minutes ago after a through inspection and re torque.
He sounds like a kid in a candy store , good for him.
CONGRATULATIONS On having the shop. Its obvious you deserve it.
I know exactly what you mean about getting older. I'm 53 and I find the easy way I can to get things done now. Great for you mustie you needed that lift. I watched Derek on vise grip install his...
So happy for you mustie1 ...long time subscriber here, and watched about every damn video from beginning to end... you definitely paid your dues to have that dream come true... 100% well deserved! ...Keep doing what you do. 😎👍
" Mustie 1" and "Vicegrip Garage" and a cup of coffee ingredients for a good day. A guy could watch for hours.
I agree. I just found vise grip garage the other day and then mustie1 mentions him. Couple of cool guys
A Mustie/VGG crossover would be AMAZING
@@Paramike86 VGG and Mustie 1 don't strike me as being crossdressers, but you never know. You could always ask them. LOL! Both of'em have Vlogs that are hard to stop watching. I'd bet they are both pretty busy. I know they live miles apart. New Hampshire verses Minnesota. Still a good idea though.
I saw this when Derek got it over at VGG - and it looked really nice, but he had them install it. Kudos to you for doing it all by yourself.
Mustie has a JOB? What a valuable asset for some company. I hope they appreciate what they have.
You deserve such a nice lift Darrin. I'm excited to see you work with it. On a second note, I spent yesterday on my back under my pristine 2001 F-250 Super Duty using the air scaler and doing the frame and running gear in the Bar and Chain linseed oil blend shot through the undercoat gun. I snowmobile in the winter so my truck is in the Cascade Mountains of WA State a lot. Over the last several years, I was getting nervous about the rust I saw developing. But, I got her all cleaned up and applied your oil formula. It went on really well using the spray gun and brushing it into all the nooks and crevices and I can see that it is going be a good coating to stop the rust progression. No rot yet and I was pleased to find it wasn't as bad as I had thought. I'll keep an eye on it and reapply as needed. Thanks for the tip. I really enjoy your videos. Warmest Regards.
I saw that tip you gave, that is Top Glass. Most people would not have done that!
Mustie1- Also I bought a 71 Single Cab last month (Named Carl) and I was wondering if you know of good resource on the east coast for parts and such! Trying to working in an apartment parking lot makes me feel 20 again I can tell you that!
I bought a lift like this about 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the tools you have, and I think my back still hurts today from moving the parts in place. Happy
Wildfire engineers didn't count on someone being so clever when they wrote the instructions.
The video as a whole was like somebody smart assembling a heavyweight kit of flat pack furniture. :) I loved it.
Nice lift,I'll be able to watch your videos for another ten years,congratulations on your purchase.
That little yellow cart is outstanding. So useful!
