How much space do your wife and kids take up? Just curious.

[QUOTE=urbanlifter;1550485651]Scheduled the pickup, should have it tonight after work. Honestly, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this thing LOL. The equipment whore in me want's to set it up and have a dedicated bench rack, but that would require dumping something to make space. I'm happy with my setup so that would be a hard decision, we will see what it looks like later on tonight and go from there.[/QUOTE]
if you are going that route, get a west side rack with the built in bench - it should take up less room
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550481591]it's a neat one, wish I was closer but I doubt I could get a side of that to make the turn on the steps[/QUOTE]
If I remember correctly it's about 80" front to back.

That's the truth. The guy i sold mine to said people are able to do lunges INSIDE the rack.
When I went to look at it I knew I wouldn't be able to fit it into the space I have, but for $200, I couldn't let myself drive home without it.

how tall is it?
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550494561]how tall is it?[/QUOTE]
Based on the picture it doesn't look incredibly tall, I have a truck/trailer lined up so it should be an easy pickup. Then I'll just have to decide whether it's a flip or keep based on the condition, getting it into the gym wouldn't be a problem and thinking about it more I could probably even rearrange stuff to make it fit. We will see, going to depend on how the wifey feels about all of this too ;)

just saying...the westside rack from Rogue or Beast - those are damn cool and would take up less space
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550494561]how tall is it?[/QUOTE]
It seems like it was 72" .

Gotcha, yeah I just looked up pictures and it's ALOT longer than I thought, reminds me of my old Magnum without the pull-up bar. What a great rack that was!
where are there other pics? I am just curious
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550500021]where are there other pics? I am just curious[/QUOTE]
I just looked up the pictures for the rack Dom has and the one Matrix is selling, then I saw aclockworkoi has the same rack as well. I'm hopeful that the picture he had on the ad is the actual rack (looks nice), it's only 30 minutes away from me though so the drive isn't terrible. This could complicate my life though, the only thing I like equally to my half rack is a nice 3/4 rack. Thank goodness Mech is out of the game, helps make that decision a little easier ;)

oh, what brand is it?
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550501591]oh, what brand is it?[/QUOTE]
BFS or Pro-Elite, not sure but there were talks that they were both made by the same manufacturer in another thread.

This is the case. Mine was BFS, but Pro Elite and Iron Companies "BombProof" BP-96 are all the same rack. I'm not sure who actually builds it.

Dude has a lot of nerve calling me a gouger with an asking price like that.

What was he asking?
Well, picked it up today and I'm BLOWN away, serious delima on my hands because I want to keep it for some reason. I have NEVER felt a rack this solid, I tried shaking it and the uprights will not budge. Even my Magnum and Pendlay had a little sway, this has NOTHING! The j-cups are ugly as sin, they cheaply painted it over with flat back, but they custom welded band pegs on which was a nice touch. DAMN YOU MECH FOR RETIRING! Honestly I think I would be tempted to keep this thing, it's enormous but being able to deadlift inside is kinda nice, what is this thing made of effing 3 gauge steel? LOL

What a great find UL. Looks like a fantastic rack!
[QUOTE=matrix563;1550544081]What stas her doesnt get is i had a chance to buy 2 identical racks for 80 each. I didnt even go there with the intent to buy the rack. I was paying for it for my buddy who i was letting use my streamline rack i got from ndmike.
When i got there i found out there was 2 for 80 each. I kept one and my friend got the other and i got my streamline rack back. If you dont like your custom title stasher you should remove it. No one gave it to you but yourself.
Nice pickup urban. You should keep it. I have 4 7 gauge racks or id keep this one.[/QUOTE]
Lmao.
This guy is too much.
He expected me to modify a comparable Nebula rack, repaint part of it, and then hold it for a couple months until he could come get it, but accused me of trying to "gouge" him when I quoted him $500 instead of the $250 he was expecting. Of course, he thinks nothing of asking $1000 for a rack that he picked up for $80.
Didn't he have to rent a truck and take two days off work to go get them?
More BS. I can post the PM where you offered $250.
I can also post a link to the post you made accusing me of trying to gouge you.
Hell, I can also post the PMs regarding the cover and hooks for the Hampton accessory rack that you never reimbursed me for.
Or maybe the one where you wanted me to weld something for you for the cost of shipping, like I work for free.
Not to mention the other regulars you've screwed.
I can go on, if you'd like...
You're a joke. A pitiful hoarder with a house and yard full of rusty junk that sits unused.
Sad.
[QUOTE=matrix563;1550545441]I appreciate you wanting me to cover your entire ebay purchase tho. I wouldnt have got my vastly superior reflex/sorinex rack for 120. Thanks for that :)[/QUOTE]
Lol. Superior for what? Collecting dust? Growing rust? Holding clothes?

That's my favorite style j-cup (besides rollers) no movement, minimal raise, side to side is surprisingly easy
Urban whats that locknut? Is that custom too? My hooks dont have that 🤔

Can you boys take this behind the woodshed and keep it out of the CL thread?

Seriously?
This is the best stuff this thread has seen in months.
I'm this close to starting a poll on it to see who wins
[QUOTE=Cleveland33;1550546711]That's my favorite style j-cup (besides rollers) no movement, minimal raise, side to side is surprisingly easy[/QUOTE]
They look similar to the hooks on the old Parabody 843. Very KISS.
[QUOTE=matrix563;1550546851]Yeah i never said i didnt offer 250. When you got 4 7 gauge racks and 3 benches for 461 ish i think 250 for 1 of the 4 is fair. When you wanted me to cover all of it i offered 375 to meet in the middle.
That hampton stuff you sent me for free bro. That goodwill doesnt give you the right to ask someone to cover the whole price you paid for 1/7 of the items gotten. You know deep inside you were wrong or you wouldnt have tried to feel better by poking fun of yourself with your custom title. Just let it go bro. It doesnt matter anymore.[/QUOTE]
Four racks and benches for $551, plus the cost of a 14' box truck to haul it, plus gas, and a day's lost wages comes up to way more than $1000. Now, factor in my time cutting/grinding/painting the rack for you, and you still think $250 is a reasonable offer?
You're the only one that doesn't get the joke in my title.

You don't want rollers. They're destructive as hell to knurl. All of that weight concentrated on two small contact points just rolls the peaks flat.

Bench905 had them, I don't think he had any problems.
I'm kinda over the need to protect the knurl that far out
