I have 5 cars two C7s, an XK8, a G37X and a Lexus RX350. It works great on all of them. Three years now and zero problems. I'm 75 and have no problem with clearance and maneuverability ( 6' 185Lbs ) Wish there something like this 40 years ago.
The frame looks so lightweight I can't trust it if I'm going underneath and it breaks. Someone was selling this for $750 looks like I'll pass. Also add a 2x4 on all four wheels and drive up on it to make it easier for you to slide the quickjack in.
JR, thanks so much for the video! Just purchased a 96 corvette, and I can see that I need to get a set from HD to make it easy. Jack stands are a pain. Thanks again for the education on how to use them.
SMOKKIN vid. Love the cars. I missed which tires hook better. I have a C6 Z06. Do you think it’s cool to jack it up like this all winter and leave the tires hangin?
The nittos hook better when new, the Michelins hook better after some mileage. I want to say I read somewhere that it’s not good to have the wheels off the ground while storing the car, I don’t know that to be completely factual. When I lived abroad for a year I put the car in storage on floor jacks to save the tires. There were no issues when I got back.
I love my quick jacks but the only thing i hate about them is the assemble and disassemble especially when i get done fixing the car and i want to rest
@@jrvettes8138 Hey from the South Carolina Coast ( Horry County ). Just got my 4th Corvette, a 95 convertible with only 33k miles. Also have a 96 coupe Z51, 52k miles. Original owner 2007 Z51 3LT Atomic Orange Metallic only 10k original miles and my pride and joy a 64 coupe, L76 motor 327 / 365hp, close ratio Muncie 4 speed, 40,100 miles, all original, all documented. You have some nice cars also ! Go to all the local car shows. I love me some Vettes ! Add as many as you can ! Thanks for the review...
I am in no way a hater or smart ass. I love innovation,,,I really do. I love new ideas. Ive thought about this with my Corvette myself. With all due respect,,,,there is no way in hell I would get under that car to do anything. There has got to be something more user friendly because it seems relatively work intensive to me for the end result. This is what makes the world go around,,,,everyone has their own ideas and what they prefer. I wish you well because YOU LIKE IT. Please, please, please be careful. Just an idea,,,,,once you get the car in the raised position put some of the stationary jack stands at all four points, just in case of malfuction. There are several things that could go wrong,,,hydraulic cylinder goes bad with immediate loss of pressure. Hose malfunction. The actual car shifts while in raised position. YOU NEED A PLAN B for safety. I dont see one here. Happy motoring. Good luck. I want to see you die of old age not because a 3000 lb corvette is laying across your chest. Tim Yarbrough. Very nice looking cars by the way. Nice instructional video.
They have a safety bar that locks them in, it’s actually not the hydraulic pressure that holds the car up at all. My kids like to get under the car with me and when they do I always put a foot jacks under the car when they are there. Over all I completely trust these things for myself but want to be extra-extra for my kids.
Just received my 5000TL couple weeks ago for my C6... QJ had a $250 off Father's Day sale. Did a full service on her over the holiday weekend, and these things are a God-send.
@@jrvettes8138 Changed every fluid... diff, tranny, oil, power steering, clutch, and brake hoses & fluid flush. From the chocolate milkshake appearance, I'm guessing that was the first time the tranny & diff had ever been touched. Now it's time for some coil-overs... 😎
@@jrvettes8138 I used the Royal Purple with the additive already in it. Mobil1 has some with additive, and is a little cheaper, but wasn't available at the time.
My Quickjack motor failed in less than a year. Tech support clowned around for 3 months, I returned it. I'll never buy a Bendpak product again due to their post sales behavior.
They say your not supposed to lift a car when quikjack is flat. you need to prelift the car so the quikjacks are starting from a dpartl deployed position
For sure it is, there are very specific spots on the car that it has to be lifted from and if the pucks touch the Carbon fiber, it will crack it. Any other car would likely be easier. As far as using floor jacks, it make the process 4x as long as is absolutely more of a hassle!
The side skirts are from Carbon Fiber Kits and Performance, which I think is out of business now, and the splitter is from EOS. Surprisingly the EOS quality is actually better than then the CF kits and performance carbon fiber in my opinion and less expensive.
I haven’t but I did see a video of a guy using a set of QJs on a floor like mine and one of the lift sides sprung out somehow and the car almost crushed him. I’m not sure how that happen but want to try to recreate it either.

I think I’m going to order these for my widebody c6
the liquid sealant NEEDS 24 hours to DRY!!
liquid thread sealer takes 24hrs to set up so it will leak if you try to use it same day you set it up.

That thread sealant takes 24 hours to cure and set. That why it leaked fyi.

Nice Vettes and jack system. Being on the second half, I got no shot getting up and down off the ground. Happy the dealer is 2 miles away.
Chevy dealership is worst place to service a corvette. Nothing but bad experiences.
How wide are the quick jacks when they are all the way flat? I know you said your car has around 4 inches of clearance.
They are about 10” wide and ~3” tall when laying flat.
You said your floor is tiled ? Tiled with what I want something similar in mine
I got my tiles from www.garageflooringinc.com
I love my quick jacks but the only thing i hate about them is the assemble and disassemble especially when i get done fixing the car and i want to rest
They are ridiculously heavy but I still think it’s easier that floor jacks.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review. 💯
I would skip running the cylinder hoses in & out the rear and just have them outside the rear wheel and around to the rear.
Costco has the 5000 TL on sake right now until December 26th drop shipped for 1299 ... I thinking about buying one
2 Corvette 😎 !!!!
Hope to add a 3rd one day, then a 4th!

Couldn’t agree more, did you change your diff fluid?

That sucks and I’m sorry to hear, I can say I’ve had mine for four years and no issues. Maybe give them a second chance?
They say your not supposed to lift a car when quikjack is flat. you need to prelift the car so the quikjacks are starting from a dpartl deployed position
Where have you seen this; I’ve never heard it. The lift has never had any issues in the last two years, granted that’s maybe 12 times…..
You sure that's lowered? I got eos splitters on my z and I'm at 3.25" from ground to splitter
I’m positive
Have you figured out yet if it goes high enough to pull the engine with front axle assembly/torque tube/ trans axle assembly from beneath the C6?
I’m going to say no, if you want something that can do that, buy a maxjax two post.
Beautiful cars bud!
Thank you and thanks for watching
Quick jack should hire you haha
I have a set I haven’t used yet , but it seems like it was a hassle for you to line it up 🤔

My 5000TL is on the way to lift my 2000 and 77 Vettes. Just wondering what thread sealer you used, teflon tape or something else?
Teflon tape is what I ended up using; someone said in a previous comment that the provided thread sealer needs to dry for 24 hours prior to use.
@@jrvettes8138 Thank You! It's hard to beat Teflon tape.
Damn good review
Must have equipment
Thanks for watching!
What brand side skirts and front lip?
The side skirts are from Carbon Fiber Kits and Performance, which I think is out of business now, and the splitter is from EOS. Surprisingly the EOS quality is actually better than then the CF kits and performance carbon fiber in my opinion and less expensive.
Thanks for your video. Beautiful cars. Have you tried the jack on your tiles? I’m thinking on buying the 5000TL for my C7. Thank you.
