Another neat one - mine looks pretty similar, though I use a belt drive.
Those white gears are a bit hard to come by, and I don't have any of those
steering plates with a built-in rack either. Still, using a steering bar
and a 1x4 rack only raises things by 1 plate, so it's still not as high as
the motor. Good tip on fitting the lift arm though.
