I'm going to start installing my Everest tomorrow. Has anyone had any success using a shop crane (Cherry Picker)? I just picked one up from Harbor Freight.


It's going in a Promaster, should be plenty of room.Depends on what it going in, normal chevy express or ford e350 cherry picker isnt going to go high enough without the arm hitting the roof. Box van your not going to be able to get it high enough. Transithugh roof or medium roof maybe.
The main thing that scares me about this is the weight is uneven when you lift it
I haven't even looked under this Promaster yet, is there anything I need to look out for so I don't drill through something?2x4's with dish soap on them, then slide it into place.

I bought a load leveler with my cherry picker. But I also picked up some straps. Like Larry said I think if I position it correctly it should be ok.that's a matter of positioning lifting straps appropriately
..L.T.A.
The spare tire, that's about it. Everything important is under the front seats.I haven't even looked under this Promaster yet, is there anything I need to look out for so I don't drill through something?

Was it in a rack beside the checkout aisle?I impulsively bought a used Promaster earlier this year because I thought it was a good deal, so I ended up impulsively buying a used Everest 650 that I also thought was a good deal. No rhyme or reason.
Thats awesome I love the Everest. I had one stolen last year (probably the one you bought jk) and I just replaced it with another one. I would love to try out the new 870ss everest to see if it is as good but I think the 650 is going to be the best in the longtermI impulsively bought a used Promaster earlier this year because I thought it was a good deal, so I ended up impulsively buying a used Everest 650 that I also thought was a good deal.

Could have just as well been I'm sucker for that stuff.Was it in a rack beside the checkout aisle?
The 870 is at the top of my list to buy. I'm hoping I can find a Transit T350 AWD and inatall the 870 in there. I'm probably a couple years out from that happening though.
If I could just buy whatever I would buy the gorilla g3 for transit dually with the 870ss ready to go all setupThe 870 is at the top of my list to buy. I'm hoping I can find a Transit T350 AWD and inatall the 870 in there. I'm probably a couple years out from that happening though.
I really like the Gorilla, but I don't think it would do well in the cold.If I could just buy whatever I would buy the gorilla g3 for transit dually with the 870ss ready to go all setup
Pretty sure all the gorrila boxes have box heaters, or atleast its an option in them.I really like the Gorilla, but I don't think it would do well in the cold.
