Fun Tip: I welded little caster wheels on mine so they slide around the garage and under the car easily when FULLY down. The moment they lift up a little the wheels lift up too so they are planted. I also know visually how far they need to be and I can place them under my car with just my toe and then boom, up the car goes. I'm sort of surprised they don't come with this option considering how much easier it makes things.

Definitely a handy gadget. I wouldn't call it "affordable", but I do think the price is reasonable. Part of the reason I quit doing my own work on my cars is that it's gotten more difficult lately to be that close to the ground. Lifting the cars higher could get me back to doing my own work... which means the thing could pay for itself in repair bills I'm not having to pay.

Two things not mentioned, Do not drive over these like you would a ramp lift, you will damage them, second, as the vehicle rises it also moves forward, so make sure you aren't up against anything in the front or rear (depending on how you put the jacks, they work either direction). I have the heavier set of these, 7K or so and have actually used then to lift an RV trailer. The tongue jack had a wheel on it and I put these under the two axles and just lifted it right up. Made it SO easy to take the wheels off and do a full brake and bearing inspection. Used them on the F-150 I had, but they won't work on my F-450 I have now, 9800 pounds is a bit heavy for them. Rock solid for anything under 7K. There are also spacers you can get for high clearance vehicles.

I dunno I have 2 jacks and 4 stands, each rated at 1.5 tons, all combined don't cost more than 300$ but the cheapst quick jack is 1500$ plus shipping tax fluids etc. Not worth it imo for basic garage work. Not only that, you can't slide in the middle of the car, only through the front and rear, so you actually lose mobility. You also have to think about the fact that 90% of the work you will do on your car can be done with just one jack and the other 10% requires a full lift to stand under the car, so not sure how this helps you do "more".

Also wish they had come standard with pinch weld blocks and didn't force me to spend an extra $200 on a set. 99% of car jack points are pinch weld; makes sense to include THOSE as they can be used for both pinch/non-pinch jack points.

The jackstands giving way due to the angle and also the rolling lift jack is why i invested in Quickjacks several years back. Totally worth it and wished I had done it sooner. I also change out winter wheels on 2 rigs so what used to be a jacking ordeal is now 45 mins for each rig. 30 mins if i’m cruising along.

Hello!! Nice video, a question please? This may sound dumb but I am guessing you putt the solid rubber blocks onto the OEM lift points you said right? But the blocks have NO groove cut into them to slip the OEM lift 'weld spot' into? You just put the blocks flat against the flat weld lift points? In other words the 'lift weld points' are 'straight' onto the rubb er block correct? No fear of the lift point bending?? (I hope i make sense?)

Don’t know if someone else posted about this, or if you’ll see it, but if you hook that propane heater up to a 100lb bottle (skinny & tall) versus the 25lb bottle (grill bottle), you will see a significant increase in both heat & efficiency. I’ve used it in both Northern Maine and where I am in NH, and the difference is significant. If you call a local propane company you can easily pick it up yourself with that trailer & save the delivery fee. Hope you stay toasty warm ;)

I got some a year ago, they are handy. Bit heavy, I built a low mount rack for mine, I don't trust to hang them. Negative you can't lower car on to jackstands after raising. Cause the stands will tip do car is raised at an angle. I think tire Jack's like race deck with paper under neath to all slip on surface. (Take two tiles lay face to face with newspaper between, creates slip just like home alignments) You can lift by placing them across too, in case you need different access

be careful with propane heaters, every hour or so (depending on the size of the heater of course) it would be a good idea to open the garage door and let the exhaust gasses out, or maybe a side door or something, tbh I would have gone with a 30-50k btu electric heater or something instead, but those usually require 220v power which isn't a common setup in a household setting.

Interesting to see another 86 owner using QuickJacks. I've had my QuickJacks for about 18 months and I've got a few observations: 1.) Kevin lifted the GR86, on my GT86 the QJ do not line up perfectly with the jacking points. They are a few inches shorter and this means that I choose to lift on the front jacking points and just inside the rear jacking points (the front being heavier). 2.) If you have Verus sideskirts, which do align with the jacking points, then they are incompatible with the QJ unless you choose to lift on the Verus mounting rails (or make another solution) 3.) When you need side access (such as fitting sideskirts) they are in the way. 4.) Make sure your floor is flat. Mine has a slight gradient so my car lifts at different speeds / angles per corner, so I have to shim the mounting blocks to allow the car to lift safely. It's not a major problem but something to be aware of. 5.) They are heavy to manoeuvre around so I actually use a normal jack more than I thought I would when I'm just checking a few things, but any major work under the car and I take the time and effort to setup them up (including dismantling the sideskirts). 6.) They are invaluable when you need to be under the car for any length of time. 7.) When you need them they are great, but they spend most of their time unused IME. I've also seen QJs sat in the background of other KZbinrs when they grab the normal jack, so I assume this is common behaviour.

I actually watched a video on that recently! I honestly didn't find it too difficult to maneuver my jacks around, but I may do that just because it's so easy and convenient.

Hi my friend Kevin n friends 🇨🇦 Just be careful to try and keep your car dry before working on them. Don't want water, salt, rain to corroded and damage it with rust

To be honest, I haven't been able to test too many different intakes yet, BUT I do have a different one on the way! :D

What appropriate timing. I bought myself the 5000tl over xmas and plan to set mine up soon as well! Seriously though, LOOK AT ALL THAT ROOM. I seriously cant wait. Ive been a back-on-the-floor wrencher with only a few inches between the frame and my face for far too long!

It'll make me never want to have to go back to jack stands. Makes me miss a lift even less!

This is probably not likely any time soon, but who knows. Maybe I'll make friends with a 22 owner and we can work on their car together.

Congrats on the quickjack setup and thanks for the video! Been looking into these and others. Did you look into any other similar setups like Bendpak MD-6XP?
@KevinVo
@KevinVo Жыл бұрын
I was pretty set on the quickjack. Looked at the maxjak but those would take up too much space for me. The Bendpak MD-6XP doesn't have great access to the middle of the car so that would rule it out for me.

I have the previous gen of the 7000TLX (was named 7000EXT) which is great for using on my 2022 tacoma. With all the mods I've done, it weighs in at 6,000 lbs. I also bought casters off etsy that bolt onto the quickjacks and they are now a dream to handle even though each lift weighs about 100 lbs for the 7000 lbs model. I don't fully trust the lock system they have so I still use 3 ton jack stands setup under the frames of the quickjacks for the "just in case". It definitely was a game changer for me as I bought the 7000 lbs model a few months after I bought the truck. Last year it helped install a lift kit I put on the truck specifically because of all that weight from skids and other accessories I put on. As for aligning the frames before lifting, for myself to make it faster, I use a long 1/2 inch by 3 inch wood board to eyeball it to exact 90 degrees everytime. Simple and cheap but then I don't have to check it as I'm lifting technically even though I still check the lift points. I also don't grab the locks by hand when releasing. i use a pry bar or screw driver, anything but my hand to release them. I preordered them in July of 2021 and didn't get them until the end of September that same year. I had a camry at the time but obviously ordered them because I was going to get my tacoma which I got in December '21.
