I'm crying for your paint damage on a super cool car my dude. Gave me PTSD flashback to when I curbed my carbon fiber lip DAY ONE on my 4 series. The long and extensive use of the lift will offset the hard lesson 😉 Got partial delivery on mine yesterday, but for some reason still waiting on second jack 🤔
This video is perfection dude. Sorry about the scuff, I know that gut wrenching feeling. You’re right though at least it can be fixed. Thanks for the great video man
@@JDMRightHandDriveman, as a dealership tech you’d be shocked how many times it happens. It’s one of the more common mistakes. It’s also one of the most painful ones, because u can’t stop the door fast enough and even if u do it’s gonna fuck it up on the way back up anyways. The worst if when u get a spoiler pinned into the rolled up door, and the lift is on the lock, meaning u have to go up another inch into the door to get it down. Seen it happen probably 20 times.
Such a good investment, you wont regret it. I love these things and wish I would have bought them years ago. Have fun with the set up. Thanks for watching.
Just bought this yesterday and your setup video is the first and ONLY one I need to watch. So thank you for the awesome job. Liked, and now subscribed!!
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do this. After watching I ordered from Home Depot, it is on sale and the 10% military discount helps too. Sorry to see you damaged your car but a lesson well learned by your viewers. Thank you.
Glad to hear my video help you out. Congrats and deciding to order a set, they really are life changing when working on your cars. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the fun video, fun to see the process you went through PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE STACK those rubber blocks, QJ should update its literature to state that it is very unsafe Suggest that you get the Truck Lift Adapters Kit in order to lift a bit higher as they are safe Enjoy your new QJ's WBNY
Glad you enjoyed watching the video and seeing the set up process. Thanks so much for your concern with the double block stacking. Another viewer said something the 1st day I released the video. Thank goodness for you boys helping to keep me safe. Will not be doubling up again. Thanks for watching.
Glad it was helpful! They were a little more difficult and time consuming to set up than what I thought. Well worth the effort, I use these almost every week in my garage. Have fun with setting your QuickJacks up. Thanks for watching.
Mine is in the post to me in Wales 8/11/24 UK.£38 sterling is a steal at this price.Great vid.I will use your vid on my BMW 330ci and my BMW 525d set up.!Thanks for an awesome video and your help.! Martin.
Hope you enjoy it! They are so awesome to have, I always have one of my cars up in the air in my garage. Cant imagine going back to floor jacks and stands.
Just got mine yesterday and set it up. Then put it straight to work today. Really helps for getting ALL the way under the car and thanks to it I discovered i didn't need to completely remove my transmission to get at a bolt-on weight the was unbalancing the flywheel.
That is awesome to hear, glad you are liking your new set up. Thanks for watching my channel and have fun with your new Quickjack fixing that flywheel weight.
I am considering this set up and appreciate your video!! Thanks for being real and showing what can happen to the best of us if we don't pay attention, Again Great Video!!!
Excellent video, very descriptive man. I really appreciate it as I have been looking at these things for over 5 years and have yet to pull the trigger. This in depth explanation answered all my questions. Thanks man.
Glad it was helpful, and your going to love them in your garage. I use these at least 2-3 times a month for different car projects, so glad I decided to buy myself a set. Thanks for watching and for your positive feedback.
Honest of you to admit the bumper/garage door issue. From what I have read, the QJ lateral movement is from 11 to 14 inches, when you raise to the maximum height!
This was a very thorough video. I watched a few other videos also and now I can have more confidence in setting up mines when it comes in. Great job and nice rides. Good to see enthusiast like you continue this fun hobby.
Great job, I did notice you lifted with the jacks backwards. The label part is supposed to face the front of the car. That way it has better support for the heavier engine side. Also it would move your car towards front of garage instead of backwards towards door.
I realized that I lifted my car backwards, my engine was out of my car, so was concerned with weight. If I would have lifted the car normal it would have put it up against the toolbox and I wanted room to move around the car. Thanks for watching.
Great tip. Honestly not sure I would go under the car without using jack's as a contingency. Call me paranoid but aafety is paramount for me. I bought the 7000 series to change tires and do basic work like brakes and suspension. Waiting for it to be delivered. Thx for the video and sharing your mistakes so we do make the same ones.
@@sopromondo3262 +1 on putting jackstands underneath the QuickJack just as insurance. A lot of guys with QJs do this. QJs are great but don't bet your life on it.
then open the garage door and set it up correctly. No reason on earth should you be lifting backwards. laziness is the worst excuse. there are locking points on the lift that make the lift work just like a jack stand. If you do everything right you can sleep comfortably under your car for years.
Great video. How about storing the QuickJack? Did you install the hanger brackets & hang the QuickJack against the wall? Are you able to leave the fluid in the system while the QuickJack is stored & not in use? Where is QuickJack made?
Glad you found the video helpful. Yeah live and learn on that huge scratch. There was metal piece in the bottom middle of the garage door. I think this was for closing the door manually and using your foot to press it close if you didn't have a power door opener. I have since removed this metal piece to prevent this from happening to any other cars in the future. Thanks for watching.
Don't double stack those lifting blocks! Especially if your getting under the car. I lifted mine the same way a dozen or so times thinking it was fine. Quickjack's instructions even say this is fine. I assure you it's not. The last time I lifted my car that way my car fell off the lift. The lifting and lowering motion is enough to unsettle the car and cause the blocks to slip. I was lucky I was not under the car.
You are right. It is not safe to use double stack it moves or slipped away. The best is in one piece or I try for my one to made some with wood in the hight I need or kombination with both together.
@@georgepoitras2296 I bought I set of 4 larger blocks which are length 6,2 in ; hight 3,93 in and wide 4,72 in.. A good hight and can not move to the side or length direction.
Agree but in some cases you may have to double stack clearing floor. I also had my Porsche kick out off theQuick Jack but this was 17:41 my fault. Centering the blocks is very important on the pads if not done the pressure can force the jacks out.
That's awesome man, I am loving these as well. Toyota Supra is another on my of me dream cars. Have fun working on your Supra with your new QuickJacks.
Damn, that looks like quite a process to set those up. For someone like me who would just be doing oil changes and tire rotations I'm not sure its worth it for me. Great video though! now I know!
So awesome you have a full size lift. I want one so bad, but I will have to sell my house and move to get one. Happy with these quickjacks for now. A HUGE upgrade from a floor jack and jack stands.
@@JDMRightHandDrive absolutely! Before the garage was built a gf list installed, literally EVERYTHING was done on the driveway with jacks and jack stands, including transmission and engine swaps and ALL year round lol!
Thanks for this comprehensive setup tutorial! I just got my 5000TLs and will be setting them up soon. How long did it take you to get them up and running in total?
Great vid. Have several classic cars and modern muscle. ( 8 between wifey and I ) How stable is it when you have to crank on a frozen bolt ? Or trying to break a tire lug ? Does it move front to back or side to side ? I must say you are a brave man with no jack stands under there just in case...Thanks
Cool Jack. Ive been considering one, but I end up buying guns and knives instead lol. I def need it tho as its an awesome convenience keep the vids up! and dont sell the GT-R. If you do one thing to it a year then oh well. You dont want to miss it later on. I get your reasons tho. Do what you feel is right.
You inspired me to get Quickjacks … just assembled them and one of the female quick connects is leaking where it is screwed into the long hose male connect. Tried to tighten, take apart and re assemble with the thread sealant… still leaks. Have you had any issues with leaking? I just emailed the company
Feel bad for you on the scratches. I hate the feeling when I accidentally ding or scratch one of my vehicles. I did see your car moving up and towards the door in the beginning and was concerned. I wish these jacks would go up just a bit higher, maybe 30". It doesn't seem like they go high enough to drop an engine out the bottom.
Thanks for your kind words Jason. Appreciate your channel support. As far as the higher lift, I have not found myself when laying on my creeper rolling around like I don't have enough room to work.
Sorry about the bumper/wing. I have Quick Jacks that I've been debating setting up vs selling, this video motivated me to set it up. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for how far back the car travels. I thought I saw some weeks back you were considering selling the GTR? Are you now keeping it 😍?
Heck yeah, get those Quickjacks set up. I am planning on selling my GTR after I finish the build. I am waiting on ARP main bolts to come in and I will drop my RB26 off at the machine shop. My car will be listed for sale this summer.
For those that are looking for quick Jack's, did you consider a scissor lift? On the quick Jack's I'm afraid of side to side movements. When trying to get transmissions out I'm worried the car might move side to side
Appreciate the video and info. I have same vehicle and I know they suggest lifting on subrlframes. Do the lifting block or lifting on pinch welds cause any issued/ damage? Ive been on the fence buying these for years
I've been eyeing one of these for a few years now lol think I might finally pull the trigger, cheers 🍻 *edit ah jeeze just saw the garage door incident.. dont feel too bad I once dropped a freshly rebuilt vintage work wheel smack dab on the quarter panel of my s30 Datsun while reaching for something on another shelf... bent the wheel and dented the shit out of the quarter on an otherwise spotless Z 😭
Thanks for your story about the refinished Work wheel you dropped on your quarter panel. As sad of of day as that was for you I got a little bit of a laugh from out mistakes. Thanks for watching.
You're very welcome! Glad you found this helpful. They were a little time consuming to set up and bleed, but well worth it. I use these all the time for almost every project. These will work for me until I get my 2 post lift someday in my next house.
Yeah, I cant believe I made such a stupid mistake. I even pushed my car forward about 1 foot before lifting it up. I have some things that need to be painted on the car, this will give me a good reason to address those. Thanks for watching.
You can easily use this to change tires on a vehicle. As long as the vehicle lines up with the lifting points of this lift. They do make and XL version which will will work with larger vehicles as well. I use this to lift up my GTR and Subaru WRX, it works perfectly for me. ua-cam.com/video/JDLoai9KCNw/v-deo.html
I just set my 5000TL up yesterday and one side works good but the other is stuck in the up position. Any idea how to get it to go down? Need help quick! Thanks!
Did you follow the proper bleeding process. If you raised it to far when there is air in the system, it wont want to go down. I had to stand on mine with the bleed valve open to move it down.
@@JDMRightHandDrive Thanks JDM! I went out later this afternoon and drained the fluid off of the cylinder that wouldn't go down, filled the air cylinder, re filled the pump tank, and started the bleeding process over and it started working correctly!
Have you tried the Quickjacks on the WRX? I have a '22 WRX and see Costco has the 5000TL bundle on sale. Not sure if the 5000TLX would be better to buy. thanks
Yes, I have lifted the WRX up a couple of times with them and they fit perfectly. Here is the video for you, so yo can see for yourself. ua-cam.com/video/TDr_ww2OQ4Y/v-deo.html
Did you make sure not to pump them up to high when you 1st started the bleeding process. You have to go little by little slowly working your way up. Open the bleeder all the way to get them back down if you have to. You just need to get that air to come out.
I've had the 5000TL for about a year and although they are extremely useful, they are also a disappointment. For my C5 Corvette, the channels where you put the rubber blocks are too far apart and can not be used with the stock Vette mounts. I've had to create a custom set of steel mounts that are closer together (which is obviously not recommended by the manufacturer). For my Cadillac ATS-V, the channels are not long enough, so I've had to buy the Quickjack extensions. But, once you add the extensions, you also add about 2 inches of height which means they now won't fit under the car. So I've had to create wooden ramps to drive on first. My set also are very loud when rising, and are a bit of a pain to store. I would say that any prospective buyers need to do full research before investing, and maybe the two-post MaxJack is a better solution
With the engine out front and with more weight there you should spin the Quick Jack around so that the lower pivot joint is closer to the front wheel and not the way you have it in the video. Of course the car as it is lifted will move forward.
Thanks for the feedback on this. After making this video I realized I had them facing the wrong way. For the last 30+ part install videos I have them facing the correct direction. Thanks for watching my channel.👍
Thanks for the info on that. I figured that out after making the video from another viewer leaving me a comment. I have them pointing the correct way now. I have also marked the garage floor with permanent marker so no need to measure again and no more scratches on my bumper. Thanks for watching.
I know this is a little late, but you've got the jacks set up backwards. On your car, the front is heavier than the back, and the "label" end of the QuickJack should always be at the heavier end of the car. So the car should shift FORWARD, not BACKWARD, as you lift it.
Great video really well explained, thats shit about your bumper, but love the 32gtr, worth a lot of money now. I think on the strength of your vid I'm going to buy the quickjack, as I can't stand working under axle stands, not enough clearance.and I'm always worried the thing is going to drop.
That's awesome man, they work awesome for both my R32 and my 2022 WRX. I cant imagine going back to jack stands and floor jacks. I had them under the car facing in the wrong directing in my video. Make sure you face yours correctly. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy them as much as me.
I was doing the same thing. Oh, oh, oh, (holding breath) “ you’re gonna hit the door.” So what is the distance it moves horizontally when jacked to max?
Waiting on a set of 7000s. Of course a man has to check all the UA-cam’s. I know it’s been a year so maybe the garage door incident isn’t as raw. It did make me think about what some people call the “stupidity tax.” It’s always seemed to me whether I’m benefiting myself or helping someone using my tools, I have to pay that tax . Every. Single. Damn. Time! I have stopped and thought to myself when I’ve agreed to help someone out, “What’s gonna happen to me this time?” 😂
Thanks for watching and glad you got something you could take away from my video and my mistake. Enjoy your 7000s when they arrive. I use these all the time and could not image not having these.👍
Why does everyone use them backwards? It is in the manual which way they should be used, I guess most people figure once it is usable, anyone can just set it up and use it. NEVER EVER DOUBLE stack those blocks, I did once and saw they hade moved slightly after lowering, so stopped doing that.
Yeah I cant believe that I did that. I got to excited and messed that one up. There was a stupid bracket in the middle of the door at the bottom by the floor that sticks out. This is the bracket that scratched my car. I removed that bracket a few days ago because I don't need it since I have a garage door opener. Wish I would have thought of that earlier. Thanks for watching my channel.👍
You are running those jacks in the wrong direction. For the best safety you need to flip them around and have the hydraulic hoses feeding in from the back tire area, not the front tires. It’s in the instructions. The front of the car is heavier obviously, and they are designed to be oriented like that to carry the weight better/safer. To be clear, you still want to be going front to back, just flipped the other way.
Thanks for the heads up. Luckily a few people let me know when I 1st posted the video. I have been using them in the correct orientation since and pretty much always have a car lifted up in the garage. Love these quickjacks. My only problem is I should have bought them years ago.
Save yourselves a shitload of aggravation. Throw that thread seal they provide right in the garbage and go straight to Teflon tape to seal fitting to hose
I have the TL and I'd say it's ok, but only if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Whatever. Too much time wasted on it already - I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity. I still have it in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it. And honestly the setup is inconvenient enough that even when I do pull it out - warts and all - it happens very rarely. Only when I have a longer term project where I know the vehicle will be on the lift for a week or two. Definitely not for things like oil or tire changes. It's just way quicker to use a floor jack, or even ramps.
I would like to know why all the fittings and aren't already done at the factory they only go one way into the jacks and on the hoses, they could have already had them done then you wouldn't have had to wait 24 hours for them to cure if all the fittings where already been done at the factory then all you would have had to do unbox the thing and connect the hoses.
Excellent info, and a lot more detail than I found in the owners manual. Big thanks!

Feel bad for you on the scratches. I hate the feeling when I accidentally ding or scratch one of my vehicles. I did see your car moving up and towards the door in the beginning and was concerned. I wish these jacks would go up just a bit higher, maybe 30". It doesn't seem like they go high enough to drop an engine out the bottom.
Thanks for your kind words Jason. Appreciate your channel support. As far as the higher lift, I have not found myself when laying on my creeper rolling around like I don't have enough room to work.
Sorry about the bumper/wing. I have Quick Jacks that I've been debating setting up vs selling, this video motivated me to set it up. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for how far back the car travels.
I thought I saw some weeks back you were considering selling the GTR? Are you now keeping it 😍?
Heck yeah, get those Quickjacks set up. I am planning on selling my GTR after I finish the build. I am waiting on ARP main bolts to come in and I will drop my RB26 off at the machine shop. My car will be listed for sale this summer.
For those that are looking for quick Jack's, did you consider a scissor lift?
On the quick Jack's I'm afraid of side to side movements. When trying to get transmissions out I'm worried the car might move side to side
Appreciate the video and info. I have same vehicle and I know they suggest lifting on subrlframes. Do the lifting block or lifting on pinch welds cause any issued/ damage? Ive been on the fence buying these for years
I've been eyeing one of these for a few years now lol think I might finally pull the trigger, cheers 🍻
*edit ah jeeze just saw the garage door incident.. dont feel too bad I once dropped a freshly rebuilt vintage work wheel smack dab on the quarter panel of my s30 Datsun while reaching for something on another shelf... bent the wheel and dented the shit out of the quarter on an otherwise spotless Z 😭
Thanks for your story about the refinished Work wheel you dropped on your quarter panel. As sad of of day as that was for you I got a little bit of a laugh from out mistakes. Thanks for watching.
Thank you, big help 👍👍
You're very welcome! Glad you found this helpful. They were a little time consuming to set up and bleed, but well worth it. I use these all the time for almost every project. These will work for me until I get my 2 post lift someday in my next house.
Im considering getting a set, any issues with jacking the r32 at that spot? Dont want to crush the rail.
The rubber blocks are pretty large, I have not experienced any rail damage on my cars.
I was gonna ask how much movement the car had while lifting but ya answered my question, big bummer on the paint bubba
Yeah, I cant believe I made such a stupid mistake. I even pushed my car forward about 1 foot before lifting it up. I have some things that need to be painted on the car, this will give me a good reason to address those. Thanks for watching.
Is 5000tl works for most of car ,i do tire change for my friends and family just wondering if this model is good for all that.
You can easily use this to change tires on a vehicle. As long as the vehicle lines up with the lifting points of this lift. They do make and XL version which will will work with larger vehicles as well. I use this to lift up my GTR and Subaru WRX, it works perfectly for me. ua-cam.com/video/JDLoai9KCNw/v-deo.html
I just set my 5000TL up yesterday and one side works good but the other is stuck in the up position. Any idea how to get it to go down? Need help quick! Thanks!
Did you follow the proper bleeding process. If you raised it to far when there is air in the system, it wont want to go down. I had to stand on mine with the bleed valve open to move it down.
@@JDMRightHandDrive Thanks JDM! I went out later this afternoon and drained the fluid off of the cylinder that wouldn't go down, filled the air cylinder, re filled the pump tank, and started the bleeding process over and it started working correctly!
Can you confirm your 2022 WRX fits perfectly on this? I am having trouble choosing between the 5000TL and the 5000TLX.
Yes the 2022 WRX fits perfectly on this. Watch my Noble Titanium exhaust video, shows the WRX up in the air on these QuickJacks.
@@JDMRightHandDrive Thanks!
Great video thank you
Glad it was helpful and thanks for the visit.
Have you tried the Quickjacks on the WRX? I have a '22 WRX and see Costco has the 5000TL bundle on sale. Not sure if the 5000TLX would be better to buy. thanks
Yes, I have lifted the WRX up a couple of times with them and they fit perfectly. Here is the video for you, so yo can see for yourself. ua-cam.com/video/TDr_ww2OQ4Y/v-deo.html
JDM→My 2 lifts will not come down (with no weight on them) What could that be ??? A serious problem? Any Ideas? This Sh*t is wacky!
Did you make sure not to pump them up to high when you 1st started the bleeding process. You have to go little by little slowly working your way up. Open the bleeder all the way to get them back down if you have to. You just need to get that air to come out.
Are you lifting the r32 on the standard jackpoints? Do they bend? Always worried that they will.
Yeah lifting at the standard jack points. Yeah I feel the same way, I cringe every time my car is lifted and supported by the body.
Damn, probably just part it out now 😅? Beautiful car man.
I think I will leave the scratches for a while being that I am going to track the car as son as my engine build is complete. Thanks for watching.
I've had the 5000TL for about a year and although they are extremely useful, they are also a disappointment. For my C5 Corvette, the channels where you put the rubber blocks are too far apart and can not be used with the stock Vette mounts. I've had to create a custom set of steel mounts that are closer together (which is obviously not recommended by the manufacturer). For my Cadillac ATS-V, the channels are not long enough, so I've had to buy the Quickjack extensions. But, once you add the extensions, you also add about 2 inches of height which means they now won't fit under the car. So I've had to create wooden ramps to drive on first. My set also are very loud when rising, and are a bit of a pain to store. I would say that any prospective buyers need to do full research before investing, and maybe the two-post MaxJack is a better solution
Then change your car.Its not the jacks fault.!😂
With the engine out front and with more weight there you should spin the Quick Jack around so that the lower pivot joint is closer to the front wheel and not the way you have it in the video. Of course the car as it is lifted will move forward.
Thanks for the feedback on this. After making this video I realized I had them facing the wrong way. For the last 30+ part install videos I have them facing the correct direction. Thanks for watching my channel.👍
Damn, sorry about the scratches
It's all good man, nothing a full body repaint wont fix.
Just my two cents: on my quickjack I have them pointed towards the engine so the car pushes forward.
Thanks for the info on that. I figured that out after making the video from another viewer leaving me a comment. I have them pointing the correct way now. I have also marked the garage floor with permanent marker so no need to measure again and no more scratches on my bumper. Thanks for watching.
I’m getting one!!
You will love them, I cant imagine going back to jack stands ever again.
Nice Skyline.
Thanks! I love my GTR very much. It was my dream car and I was so happy to finally buy one.
you had the jacks facing the wrong direction. warning label to the engine side.
Thanks for the heads up. Safety 1st.
great car
Thanks so much, my GTR in in the process of an engine rebuild right now.
I know this is a little late, but you've got the jacks set up backwards. On your car, the front is heavier than the back, and the "label" end of the QuickJack should always be at the heavier end of the car. So the car should shift FORWARD, not BACKWARD, as you lift it.
I was watching this thinking "he's going to jack his car into the garage door".
Great video really well explained, thats shit about your bumper, but love the 32gtr, worth a lot of money now. I think on the strength of your vid I'm going to buy the quickjack, as I can't stand working under axle stands, not enough clearance.and I'm always worried the thing is going to drop.
I find if I stand on them, when the cars not on of course, they drop down smoothly.
Nice to know, thanks for watching.
I found this as I'm setting up my own quick jack for my own r32...🤣🤣🤣
That's awesome man, they work awesome for both my R32 and my 2022 WRX. I cant imagine going back to jack stands and floor jacks. I had them under the car facing in the wrong directing in my video. Make sure you face yours correctly. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy them as much as me.
@@JDMRightHandDrive we're in Washington with the same cars to a T. 🤣🤣🤣
I yelled "STOP!" When i noticed your car moving back towards the garage door. Hopefully you didn't damaged the garage door as well.
I wish I would have heard you and I no scratches occurred. Thanks for watching.
I was doing the same thing. Oh, oh, oh, (holding breath) “ you’re gonna hit the door.”
So what is the distance it moves horizontally when jacked to max?
And was the garage door ok?
I can feel the pain of scratching the car. Sorry man. Great review BTW.
Thanks! 👍Appreciate your suppot.
Waiting on a set of 7000s. Of course a man has to check all the UA-cam’s. I know it’s been a year so maybe the garage door incident isn’t as raw. It did make me think about what some people call the “stupidity tax.” It’s always seemed to me whether I’m benefiting myself or helping someone using my tools, I have to pay that tax . Every. Single. Damn. Time! I have stopped and thought to myself when I’ve agreed to help someone out, “What’s gonna happen to me this time?” 😂
Thanks for watching and glad you got something you could take away from my video and my mistake. Enjoy your 7000s when they arrive. I use these all the time and could not image not having these.👍
Anyone else have one Jack that isn’t flush with the floor?
That scratch at the end is why I drive a Toyota... the paints already shit so theres nothing to worry about.
Nice
Thanks 👍
Pretty sure those lifts are backwards. When you're lifting it initially the front is unsupported.
Why does everyone use them backwards? It is in the manual which way they should be used, I guess most people figure once it is usable, anyone can just set it up and use it. NEVER EVER DOUBLE stack those blocks, I did once and saw they hade moved slightly after lowering, so stopped doing that.
I was thinking that you were awfully close to the garage door. Oops, stuff happens.
Yeah I cant believe that I did that. I got to excited and messed that one up. There was a stupid bracket in the middle of the door at the bottom by the floor that sticks out. This is the bracket that scratched my car. I removed that bracket a few days ago because I don't need it since I have a garage door opener. Wish I would have thought of that earlier. Thanks for watching my channel.👍
15:24 I should call her
I’m so sorry you scratched that beautiful car
Thanks, it was a silly mistake to make but it will give me a good reason to do some paint work on my car in the future.
You are running those jacks in the wrong direction. For the best safety you need to flip them around and have the hydraulic hoses feeding in from the back tire area, not the front tires. It’s in the instructions. The front of the car is heavier obviously, and they are designed to be oriented like that to carry the weight better/safer.
To be clear, you still want to be going front to back, just flipped the other way.
Dude you have them backwards. The caution label are supposed to be facing the front of the vehicle!!!!!
Thanks for the heads up. Luckily a few people let me know when I 1st posted the video. I have been using them in the correct orientation since and pretty much always have a car lifted up in the garage. Love these quickjacks. My only problem is I should have bought them years ago.
Save yourselves a shitload of aggravation. Throw that thread seal they provide right in the garbage and go straight to Teflon tape to seal fitting to hose
I have the TL and I'd say it's ok, but only if you're lucky and get one without a defective air cylinder. If you do get one of those you're screwed - the company will 100% not stand behind their product. They'll claim the air-assist down isn't "necessary to the function of the lift". Really? So if one side has air assist down and the other doesn't, and they drop unevenly, that's safe? And then when the vehicle drops to the ground and one side of the lift goes straight to the full down position while the other... doesn't. You need to wait... and wait... and wait for it to drop with no weight on it. Quickjack will claim this "is normal operation" and that "it will get better over time". If you invest a massive amount of time trying to get them to stand behind their product they will, eventually, after burning through every once of customer goodwill, send out a new cylinder. Yay! Until you get the replacement and the freakin' air side is literally capped off. Like intentionally made unusable. That's not a fix guys. Then they'll claim that the engineers decided the down-assist wasn't necessary and that they've changed the design on future models. But I didn't buy a future model with less functionality. I bought the current model with exactly the functionality I wanted, was promised, and paid for. Whatever. Too much time wasted on it already - I've written off the entire company as another skanky marketing hack with no integrity.
I still have it in my shop, but the company worked very hard to make me regret my purchase and it low-key pisses me off every time I look at it. And honestly the setup is inconvenient enough that even when I do pull it out - warts and all - it happens very rarely. Only when I have a longer term project where I know the vehicle will be on the lift for a week or two. Definitely not for things like oil or tire changes. It's just way quicker to use a floor jack, or even ramps.
I would like to know why all the fittings and aren't already done at the factory they only go one way into the jacks and on the hoses, they could have already had them done then you wouldn't have had to wait 24 hours for them to cure if all the fittings where already been done at the factory then all you would have had to do unbox the thing and connect the hoses.
Don't worry about it it's only a throwaway foreign car
