Cheap and helpful mod for the Quick Jack guys…

[Old Mopar Guy]

Pushing around the lifts on my 7k model gets old quick so a quick YT search revealed the following:

Simple mod that cost me maybe 15.00 in cheap casters. Casters are not the best but still swivel and roll good enough.

I like it!

Don't tell me you don't like lugging those bastards around by hand?

Mine had the same collar and pedicure.

That is why it took until two weeks ago to allow my shoulder to get well and strong enough after surgery to get them under my car.

This is how I store them, which is a pita depending on how my back feels.

Yep, my problem also. Store them vertical to save room. Mine have little wheels on one side, so dragging them is a PIA but the little wheels make it a bit better. They are under the Cat until it gets driven now. I was amazed on how much more easy it was to maneuver them and plug the hoses together with the shoulder repaired!

On my brackets, I cut the "catch" lip down such that I don't have to lift them nearly as high to get them off.

Hope that helps.


Merry Christmas!

Excellent idea. I just took about 3/4” off mine. Thanks.

I go to the dealer.

Right. This week; I’ll ask the dealer to seriously check all suspension connection bolts, with a torque wrench,
remove and replace the front sway bar and repack the bushings,
change the oil,
spit shine every damn piece of plastic or material under it,
shine the wheel wells with their favorite detail chemical.
Then change out the replacement racing front rotors to the new units,
remove and install the new rotor sets on the car.

Then before they let it down from its unloaded position and storing it in a climate controlled cube I want to have them wait and verify which pad set goes on the girl, the racing pads because it is going racing or leave the street pads on for some early season cruising?

Also better bring them the other sets of tires because I won’t know which set I’ll need on the girl.

Oh yes, I’ll have them detail the interior and engine bay also. While they store it. Maybe use some cheap labor, because I am very picky. Oh damn, have to remove that spare air filter and pluck the bugs out, clean and re-oil it also. They will need to do the spare Demon unit while they are at it for me.

They can also trailer that thing over to the wrap shop to have a couple of the wraps touched up. Has to be on a nice day and with the salt spray and dust down. If not, they need to schedule and get that thing over before I may want to trailer it early this spring. Better be ready when I want. I am sure they are very flexible in that regard.

No?

Some of us people up here are poor and can’t pay the dealers for everything, but, we have heated and comfy garages and actually love to wrench and are blessed enough to be able to do it with the right tools and our God given talents learned over the years, Hick.

I like my QuickJack. Let’s go Brandon!!

You let the dealer decide which pads?

I just intentionally mounted my hooks about 1/2” too low, so the jacks support their own weight vertically and the hooks really just keep them from tipping forward. Just enough where I don’t have to lift them much when removing.

Mag, don’t read it like a contract. Happy New Year!

 

[DavidKFla]

Why not get a 4 post lift?

 

[DGatzby]

My next residence will have one. I don’t want to spend the cash at this house now. Looking for land this year, matter of fact. One car will come down to near you right about now each year soon, with a primary residence TBD in a state very near this impossible place, but also where substantial winters exist.

Thank you for posting this !!!!

I dont have these but looks like from your photo there are already wheels provided, they're just too small and rinky dink. Is that right?
