***Sorry for the regional specific topic, but NICO doesn't have regional forums(which they should!), so here I am. Mods, feel free to let me know if I need to delete this.

I'm getting my Redtop front clip tomorrow, so I'm going to be needing a hoist soon.

The cheapest I can really find them is around $200. I'd rather not have that 200lb behemouth sitting around(would probably have to sit outside and end up rusting... :(), and out the $200.

So does anybody around the Atlanta area have an engine hoist I can borrow for maybe 2-3 weeks? Basically I'd need it until all the parts get in to complete my swap, then do it and I could give it back to you. I'm more than willing to put up some collateral to put your mind at ease. Say 80% the value of the hoist, then you can give me back the cash minus like 10%, as a reference of what I'm more than cool with.

If anybody has a hoist in the Atlanta area, please email me at [email protected] or reply to this thread. I'll be checking on it.

Appreciate it guys!

i just went out and bought a hoist, i found this 2 ton one at pep boys for 120 bux. And i used it more than once, and i'm sure i'll use it again. I'd let you borrow mine, but i'm kinda far away from you.

$120 you say? That's actually not THAT bad. All the Harbor Freight stuff is really expensive, $190 and up, but they've usually got cheap stuff.
