The older I get, the less I want to crawl under my Jeep.
Are there any hydraulic lifts for my garage that you would recommend?

I have the Atlas PV9P, and I feel the same way. Saves me lot of time and soreness..lolI have a atlas, 10k, certified, 2 post from Greg Smith equipment and my only complaint is that I didn’t get it sooner!
No disrespect but to me that doesn't look all that safe. Nice looking TJ thoughIf ceiling height is a issue a scissor lift is handy
Gets it high enough you can sit on a stool and work

Cool set up, I like to see what other folks can build when there is no consideration for wind loading, ( For me 130mph 3 second gust)When I turned 50, several years ago, I bought a Bendpak for $1500 from a shop going out of business. Countless hours of use later it was one of the best buys I’ve made. You do need a tall garage for it though or build a tin building for it like I did.View attachment 266896
A stool under there is still way better than laying in the ground - that gives me hope for my garage!I have a MaxJax lift in my garage with a 12' ceiling. https://www.maxjax.com/
I had to change my garage door opener to one that would sit flush against the ceiling, and you get about 54" of clearance under the car at max height. I have an aircraft-repair mobile chair I use so that I can be comfortable while I am working. 120VAC. You can dismount the posts and roll out of the way, if you are so inclined. I keep the one closest to the wall mounted all the time, and mount/dismount the center post as needed. Rated at 6k lbs. Best money I have spent for a tool: nothing else even comes close. Photos below from my frame swap last winter.

Me too. Get more exercise or pay a mechanic to do what you obviously don't want to. My 72 year old father (RIP) replaced a 69 GTO JUDGE engine and trans in my brother's driveway by himself. A jack assisted him..The older I get, the less I want to crawl under my Jeep.
Pull the roll bar, fold the windshield and recline the seats!!!A stool under there is still way better than laying in the ground - that gives me hope for my garage!
I’d have to, my garage has a beam across the top about 1/3 the way in. I’ll stick to the BFH garage for now and think of my own lift when I buy a second Jeep (probably a XJ that I’ll refurbish for my kids when they can drive).Pull the roll bar, fold the windshield and recline the seats!!!
