I really want a lift. I have some physical problems with back and neck that a lift would really help me with.
First I need a good compressor, that's the next thing on my list. Right now I just have a small portable one.
Wish it was insulated too. Feels like an icebox in the winter.

I agree, I think my pecking order would be, bigger compressor, insulation kit, then the lift at some time. I know what you mean about back and neck issues. It's so much easier to have things at waist level now days. Although, working under a vehicle with neck problems, you might find the lift isn't all that beneficial. With neck problems it is still better to do it the old fashioned way laying on your back.

Our garage:
My roommate's c10 is taking up most of the space. We're all pressuring him to get rid of it but "it just needs a little bondo then some paint, won't take any time at all" ... YEAH RIGHT!

Yikes, I at least have 2 paths in my garage at home. One going out of each overhead door. Your friend has some work to do.

He also has a 81 Kawasaki GPZ stripped to the frame taking up another corner of the garage, and he wants to finish that first before the truck.
But school and girlfriend are taking up all his time, lol. At least my girlfriend is buys with finals right now so all my free time can be stent on the truck, hahasome are his, most are mine. Oh, and I said c10 but I meant s10.

I was really into old Kawasakis for a long time. Down to only one now, a 1980 KZ1000. Had several of the Z900 bikes but have sold them all. If he needs inspiration he should check out this site. Even though it's a KZ site there are several GPZ guys on there.

there are some really nice builds in the projects section, some pretty talented guys on that site.
