Quick update for the morning crowd: bought a Quickjack system, set it up last night, I think this video is hilarious and you should too.

I had the same feeling after I got the wheels back on the 250 after it got a whole new suspension all the way around and I butchered my front bumper and fender wells, took it for a drive and nothing exploded.

Oh man that was my feeling after my first brake job. Back out of the garage, no instant death, ok I might have made this work.

Oh I did 2 calipers. Ssslllooowwwlllyyy backed down the driveway. Bleeding wasn’t so easy might I mention. Took it around the neighborhood and there was definitely a bubble that needed to work it’s way out. First 1/8th of the pedal was push through then grip. 6 brake pumps later and she was happy.

I haven't taken it on the highway yet considering it has new suspension, new wheels and tires, alignment x2, new brakes - I still need to log into the abs module and change the revolutions per mile calibration. Oh and align the headlights.

I was wondering what that was! Is it meant to function as a lift, letting you get under and working on the car, or just as a jack, where you can do tire and brake and suspension stuff but it’s not safe to get under there for a long time?

Yes to the lift. It locks at 2 heights and then in held by gravity rather than hydraulic pressure. B you can keep a vehicle jacked up forever at those heights and it’s very sturdy. A more top-heavy vehicle might see some wobble if you try hard enough since they aren't braced laterally, but I don't think any worse than jack stands.

I really thought they were like $2500-$5000 but I got mine for $1300 shipped. Not cheap but given how often I've been going on stands and helping others, this was a no-brainer.

Well that’s awesome. And it won’t mess up your checkered floor?

I’m pretty sure it spreads the weight out well, plus I’ve seen a ton of these on the same flooring on instagram so that’
s fine right?

Well I’ve only done 2 lifts to test it once I put it together, but it seems pretty awesome and I’ll check back after some real car work this weekend. I can’t imagine it won’t be as great as it seems though.
