QuickJack Portable Vehicle Lift System: 7000TL $1500, 5000TL Expired

Yeah, there's a lot more that goes into it than that. Unhelpful comment and you're probably trolling, but I'm triggered so I'll help you understand...

- Oil changes:
--> If you're paying $30 for an oil change, you're paying a life-flunky to touch and manage one of the most critical parts of your vehicle. You don't have to go far to find horror stories about idiots, even at dealerships, that have destroyed or damaged a vehicle for that "$30 oil change". Most oil changes are closer to $100 in my area at any place other than flunkies.
--> I know I'm doing it right when I do my and family members cars. I personally have 3 "WTF were they thinking?!!" stories for fixing eff-ups on others cars when they went to a shop for an oil change
--> If I'm changing my oil, I get to select the oil I want, buy it in bulk when it's on sale as well as filters
--> Time: for me to leave my house, drive somewhere and wait while I pay some ding-dong to do an oil change, it would literally take longer than me doing it myself in my driveway. Lots of folks live well outside of urban areas and prefer self-sufficiency and can spend less time doing it themselves.

Tire rotations and changes:
--> I change 4 sets of tires every Winter and Spring (four different vehicles). It is so much faster to put the whole vehicle up and do all four than jack each tire individually.
--> Again, time and money to do it myself than to load up tires in each vehicle, drive and pay $25-$50 per vehicle for someone to swap out 4 tires for something I have the tools and ability to do myself.

Other projects:
--> anyone with confidence, the right tools and Youtube can, at the least, take a stab at fixing a wide variety of issue with a car where a lift system like this would make a huge difference and save a lot of money (and build their confidence!).
--> Friends gladly pay to use your lift when you have one, thus reducing ROI time

So, again, I know you're probably trolling, but from the quick math above, this system would pay for itself in my driveway in 5 yrs or less.

Plugs on 997.2 require removing the rear wheels.



I bit the bullet today, also ordered the wall hangers I linked earlier. Which rubber stops are you talking about, the pinch weld blocks or something else?

I removed the rear bumper when I did the plugs rather than the infamous hidden bolt. I don't use it for oil changes but have for brake fluid changes. For an oil change I lift on one side remove the drain bolt put a catch pan underneath lower the car and come back in a few hours.

The blocks that come with it are fine for the 997, IIRC the smaller ones fit well.

I've done about 200 oil changes with just a floor jack.

Spends $1500 to do a $30 oil engine. Cool...makes sense.

I have done about 100 oil changes for family. These make it a piece of cake.

I've done about 200 oil changes with just a floor jack.

Same. I've done 360 oil changes with the same floor jack and stands that I bought on black Friday for $20.

Obviously, an oil change isn't the most ideal scenario for using these. Heck, I have ramps, that would be cheaper and easier than BOTH the QJ and the floor jack to do oil changes.

But the QJ has great use in:
1. swapping axles, wheel bearings, front suspension, etc.
2. exhaust repairs.
3. engine swaps.
4. transmission repairs.
5. Clutch repairs.
6. Differential fluid changes.
7. U-joint swaps for the front shaft and rear shaft.

Will the QJ ever be cheaper than floor jack and jack stands? Come on. Will a lift?

The point is that the QJ is more convenient and IMO somewhat safer to use than floor jack and jack stands.

Also, it is more versatile. I can and do use the 7000-SLX QJ on a coupe, a minivan, a midsize Jeep, and a full-size truck. You'd need like 2-3 different floor jacks and jack stand tonnage to accomplish that. Not to mention that even using a hydraulic floor jack requires a lot of energy and body strain to lift heavy vehicles.

One thing that I will say is that stacking blocks as pictured is stupid and will not work. As the jack moves front to rear (or rear to front), they can just roll off.* I bought the SUV adapters (home depot) recently to provide more clearance for my SLX. *yeah, I was stupid and tried.

Joining the military seems like a very expensive way to get the use of a lift.

I highly recommend the wheel mod. After owning one for 3 years now, would not buy again. For me the problem is just the hassle involved in setting it up. I can have a car on 4 jack stands faster than setting up the quick jack. Plus add in the size and weight if one is moving them out to a driveway etc. the wheels are a joke and barely roll over anything but smooth concrete. Only reason I bought it was due to the lack of space for a 2 post. I also didn't think not having side access while using the QJ would be a issue but find it a pain when doing a clutch job etc. if they were 30% lighter and sub $1000, I could over look the issues I have with it.

I post about products I like. I guess I must be a paid shill for Milwaukee and ridgid too. Ive also been a member of SD for almost 5 years, and have literally only posted about the Quickjack once.

By that standard, you're a shill for this weird looking poncho you've posted about too: https://slickdeals.net/f/15534832-homeless-chic-poncho-49-off-853-99

I told people here to look outside of a deal shopping website for quickjack use reviews and look at car forums where more people have experience with them. Almost 200,000 google search results for "quickjack porsche", and over 250,000 for "quickjack bmw".
Plenty of room for independent research and for shoppers to make their own determination with feedback from people who actually use it.

Every quickjack product on Home Depot's website has over 4.5 star average rating as well.

I guess everyone reviewing it is a shill all over the internet too? Maybe its a conspiracy we've all come up with just to personally con you?

I said that some posts on my previous SD thread skewed it because people don't like to admit they used something wrong, and I specifically posted about known issues of this product. The TL version update addresses many of those issues. You dont know that, because you dont own one.

If you felt like my point about user-error was aimed towards you, it wasn't, but if it the shoe fits, well then, lace it up.

There's room for user error here, just like any other scenario that involves lifting your car and you likely shouldnt own something like this if you cant follow directions.

I'm not forcing anyone to buy this product, and I didn't post this deal either. I posted the last one and others upvoted it.

I've wanted a portable solution like this for years. If you don't like yours, sell it.
