Kwiklift and Bone creeper :)
I finally got a chance to use the Kwiklift that I bought on eBay, and a new Bone creeper that I just got for a present! They make working on the bottom of my car a lot easier than using jackstands. :)

Youll have to let me know how that lift works out. Its a drive up on I take it?
Those creepers are great, much better than the cold garage floor.

The lift is made of heavy steel, bolt-together pieces, that all fit in my Suburban. You assemble it on a level floor, drive up on it, then use a floor jack to lift the rear cross-pipe. Then you pull two spring pins, lower the rear legs down, and pin them in place. We just used it to change the transmission in my son's Mazda RX-7, using the floor jack and blocks to handle the tranny.

Man I am doing a ZF-6 conversion on my 4+3 right now. I can only imagine what a difference it would make to be doing it using a quik lift instead of jack stands.

Re: Kwiklift and Bone creeper :) (A96LT4)
I have the exact same lift (yellow powdercoat) for my yellow "87 coupe. So far, I love it. I ordered an extra "bridge" so I can take all four wheels off. I leave the front pins engaged on the supports and just park on it that way. The ramps are wide enough to step out of the car and stand on them when you get out. Its a heavy duty unit. It supports my Avalanche with no problem. It was perfect when I installed a new cat-back on the truck.

Re: Kwiklift and Bone creeper :) (A96LT4)
I love my Kwiklift. Can't imagine doing anything under the Vette without it. The first night I had it all set up, I slid under the Vette with my creeper and started in the front and worked my way back inspecting everything. My wife came out and asked when I was coming inside. It was 2 am! Time flies when you're having a good time. :thumbs:

:cheers: For about $ 220 or less, you can convert your KWIKLIFT to air/hydrailic and eliminate the need to manually jack it up
