Came across this after buying the wheel choke and looking for additional ideas. Thanks so much for all the details !!!
You are so welcome! I am glad that it helped. I don't the lift anymore but I use the ramp every single day. Its perfect for the garage to keep my bike on.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
You had a situation, you solved it,, Good job!
Thank you. Thats the one thing that I learned in the Marines. There is always a way. Thanks for watching.
Best detailed DIY I've found to make my own kit for QJ. Thanks for making the video!
Thanks for watching. I’m glad that it helped. Good luck on your project.
Good job, you should make more of these and sell them GREAT idea.
Rich B thank you for watching. I thought about selling them but logistics would have been a nightmare.
Wow Dave! That is amazing what you did!!!! You are very talented!!!!!! Great job!!
Thanks for watching Amy!
great video and thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome!! I will lookup and price your project and maybe create my own lift. Thanks!
Good luck. Thanks for watching.
Nice to be a handyman..
Hey we only learn by trying. Lol. Thanks for watching.
I started building mine yesterday .
How did it turn out? Thanks for watching!
@@DaveMedicus Works well. It's kind of heavy, all wood. I also need to make a small on/off ramp; It got a little hairy the last time I backed off of it. I could have used another inch length on my legs. ha-Ha.
Tip - use construction screws rather than drywall screw. They are much stronger and will last a lot longer...
Yes construction screws would have been stronger. Surprisingly I have not had any issues with the screws rusting or anything.
That Harbor Freight has an odd layout of holes, 3 on one side, four on the other. Did you use all those to bolt it down?
I'm mountig my HF chock to my trailer. I think I might have to drill holes in the steel chock that are across from each other to go through the trailer frame.
I believe that I did. It would honestly depend on the mounting surface that you are using as to how many bolts I would use. If it is thin material I would go with more.
My recommendation is to ditch the Phillips screws. I hate Phillips screws. I only use the Torx head now. No cam out.
Yes if I were to do it again I would have used those. I haven't had any issues though with the current setup. Thanks for watching.
Nice video Dave! I have a similar video on a platform I built for my Quickjack lift and you should check it out... How does the HF wheel chock work for you?
Manny F. It works amazing. I would highly recommend it. I use it everyday with no issues.
@@DaveMedicus Nice, i've been looking for a good one to upgrade my platform with.
Are the large 3/4 inch bolts on the sides that you call “lockdown” bolts going through the round ends of the quickjacks? Is this to keep the platform from tipping off of the jacks? I noticed that the official quickjack platform uses a rod all the way through both jacks. Do you feel that the way that you have boxed in both jacks by 2x4s serves the same purpose?
Really appreciate this video.
Sam Yakulis yes they are used to hold the quickjack to the stand. I would go with a smaller bolt to help with alignment and movement. The stands don’t move without the bolts but I wanted to have an additional bind point. If the air is not perfect in the jacks they can lower at different rates. This stand works great. I will actually be putting it to good use this weekend.
Dave Medicus Thanks, Dave. I plan on constructing something very similar and appreciate the ideas that you have shared here.
Where did you get your lift? (Electric/hydraulic lift portion)?
CMA Spirit of the HIGH WAY its a quick jack hydraulic lift made for vehicles but I use it for both.
How do you bolt the choke down to the trailer/platform ?
Chock **
In the center of the bracket there's a bunch of holes that you can use. Thanks for watching.
Dave Medicus thanks
Some get a lots of money
Thanks for watching!
