[Bay Area] Rent an engine hoist/cherry picker?
Anyone know where you can rent one of these? I live in Half Moon Bay so near Peninsula would be awesome. I am going to check with Pep Boys but I heard they do not do that anymore. Any suggestions would be groovy!!

You can find them for sale all over the place for $100-300. Just buy one and resell it when you don't need it. I've got one in my garage right now but I'm far away.

Yeah, that's a good idea but I am really short on time, do not own a truck and have no real place to store one if I cannot sell it quickly. I have to have this thing in my possession Friday night and such, and hoping to only have to rent a truck over the weekend. We'll see. Thanks!

Haha.. We'll be in touch. Just thought it would make everything easier to get it into the truck somehow on Friday night, head up Saturday AM to pick up the motor, come back with motor/picker after doing what we gotta do with the truck/Onecorn on Saturday, yank out the 1.8L, gently place the 2.0L in, return truck and picker ASAP. If it's someone's that I can borrow, worst case I can tear it down and stuff it up my Justy to bring it back.
