QuickJack
 

Has anyone had any success with the Quickjack car hoists? Reason being as i dont have enough room for a full 2 or 4 post jack hoist system.

JLarson & BettyZ I know have them and they love it.

Did you try searching?

It has some limitations but the convenience factor is off the charts. I think it's well received in general.

I have one and love it. I take mine to the track with me. Also they doing a 15 off sale right now!

I want one, and I may spend some of dat gubmint cheez to get one from Costco....:yum::yum:


Though it's kind of a toss up, FI exhaust, QuickJack, firearms parts, ammo.....:icon14::icon14:

Exhaust and ammo. In that order!

LOL, I would agree on the FI exhaust first then the quick jack. Although a man can't have too much ammo or guns he has plenty and the jack is a necessity for old frats!

I bought the BL-7000SLX last year at this time. Overkill for my Z but I use it to get my Explorer up in the air as well. It's been great.

Right now.........I'll take powder and primers. That chit is like pixie dust right now and more $$$$$

I have the Quickjack as well works great for all my cars.

Open box refurbished model for $956.00 from QuickJack website and comes with the standard one year product warranty: https://www.quickjack.com/refurbishe...lx-obox-refurb

Costco deal right now for $1199.99, but comes with four pinch weld blocks and two wall hangers: https://www.costco.com/quickjack-5,0...100666851.html

Both of them are the 5000lb SLX model, but depends on whether you want the pinch weld blocks and wall hangers for ~$244 more. Both also include free shipping, so you're just looking at the cost of the QuickJacks plus tax.

Also, they're coming out with a newer revised model in a couple months with same ground clearance, but will raise 3" higher than their current offerings. Depends on your needs I suppose. https://www.quickjack.com/tl/

That extra 3" means a lot to guys with big chests. I barely fit under JL's Z when helping him and Madwi installing the turbo.

Fire arms and ammo > car parts/jack. Think about it you have a regular jack and stands to do the work. However ammo and fire arms. . . Well, they can be used to protect the Z, protect you, protect the property and protect all things free;)

Great lift. http://www.the370z.com/members/borng...s-calipers.jpg

Is it me or is that a big fcking garage?

I have 5000slx. Love it. I keep it in air all winter no issues.

Bought the Pinch weld blocks, works great, but hard to line up in slot. Just go slow. I'm gonna try taping on car first and see if it holds long enough to bring QJ up to them. I use small block+Pinch block.

zz

My large muscular chest barely fit under Jlarson's ride on the quick jack. :rolleyes: My giant beer belly didnt help anything either. :icon17:

...........and you got your nipples pierced too from the safety wire. :rofl2:

Free piercings! :rock:

PSA: Don't use the Quickjack on a plastic tiled floor, one side was ejected..

This post from my37.com is a little scary:

That happened bc the OP didn't use a pinch weld block - which QJ sells - to lift the car. And the block was misaligned.

370Z lifting setup
 

Here's my solution for lifting the 370Z to maximum height with a Quick Jack style hoist. I really like this type of hoist in my home garage for maintenance and cleaning. It was really worth it for me. Cheers!

interesting. I use the supplied smaller block under the pinch weld block.. and a sheet or two of 1/4 plywood under all that to ensure the blocks are flush with the lifting points before I raise her up.

Pro-tip - wrap the pinch weld blocks with hi-viz tape, and have a tape pennant running off each one. That way you don't drive off with the blocks still on the pinch welds.

Alternative (but more expensive) provides 26 inches of lift and no concern of the car shifting forward in the environment as the lift goes up, it's a straight up lift and provides full side access (not for everyone)

I have no stake in it's sales (both units have strengths and weaknesses)

Oooh I like that one... optional caster set seems pretty slick, too.

Great thought! You would never see them once the car was back on the ground and likely would lose it. Good tip.

Thanks! Came up with it after I took the Z to the grocery and saw the blocks still on the rails walking across the parking lot lol
