Installing My BendPak XPR-10AS Two Post Lift From Summit Racing! Is It Worth Doing It Yourself?

What happens here

The presenter describes routing a cable through one of the lift posts. To do this, he ties a spark plug to a piece of string or twine and drops it through the internal channel of the lift post. The weight of the spark plug pulls the string down. Once the string is retrieved from the bottom, the main lift cable is tied to the string and pulled back up through the post, effectively routing the cable.

Goal: Route the internal cables through the lift posts.

Tools and materials

  • Cable BendPak — The main lift cable to be routed
  • Spark Plug — Acting as a weight to pull string through the post
  • String/Twine — To pull the main cable through the post

sick of the lack of progress turn it up stop messing around not there messing around before but just re-prioritize builds have to get done parts are piling up frontal rob it's ready to go this thing is the first step and we'll open up that springboard for everything else to get done everyone's asking where the escalade is it's right there i know i'm being literal and i'm being a jerk but we got to get the four lady putting uncle rob before we can get to the escalade um the engine actually has to come out and it's going to go to uh late model engines to get a refresh so that's the plan for that also i'm an idiot i don't know if you saw what i just did there oh i did thanks for saying something turn it around you know usually when you do something stupid like that i don't question you because i feel like you have a reason for it and i don't want to question it okay that's valid because i feel like sometimes you do say stuff like why is that there and then i'll tell you like oh well i left it there because i'm gonna do blah blah blah and then this and you're like oh okay which discredits when i'm actually being an idiot like now oh i i understand why you didn't say anything but i will still give you crap about it because well i don't know everything else to do right now i want it 20 feet from the wall that's what we're going for here so it's roughly 20 feet from the wall i went over and i measured that those lifts are 20 feet from that wall and there's enough room to work in front of it like you know break out the cherry picker pull out a motor wheel it out have the motor on a stand do stuff have the car there work bench room to breathe so i just modeled what how they have that set up over there it does say that the asymmetric lifts have different length cables i am now going to unbundle those and figure out which cable is the short one so we can get them uh run up in here it's kind of important stuff that's all that camera is yeah this is all i use what the that thing's itty bitty i know it's got a crack screen everything this is the same gopro i've filmed everything with since i started my channel i only have one gopro it's just just this one right here really go pro eight yep contacted some outside
