Making Life Easier In 5 To 7 Buisness Days....
Costco had these on sale that ended last Sunday, Father's Day, so I went in and ordered one of these for this dad's day. Should make life a bit easier I'm hoping. They had the 5000 lbs version so that's the one I purchased.
I'm pretty sure Grape is going to love this thing.

As much as you modify and detail Grape Ape, I'm sure you will get plenty of use out of it. Congrats!

You'll love them! Had my 5,000 for about a month and a half and can't stop working on the car. When it comes to detailing there is no better way. The best back savor ever! Have not had a single issue with them, except I had to bleed one cyl about 5 times during set up. No big deal. Enjoy!

I did the exact same thing for my fathers day gift to myself. $999 + $70 tax = $1,069 delivered.
Set it up Sunday and changed the oil, installed a 1 to 4 shift bypass, and a new reverse light switch. Awesome tool.

It comes with 2 sets of blocks. The shorter blocks with pucks work great on my Coupe (closer to stock height), but not on my lowered on stock bolts Z. For the Z I bought the 1.5 inch block extenders and use those with pucks. It is tight, but works beautifully. Post below shows the difference in the gap between the Quickjack and the rockers.

Thanks for the post showing the difference. Mine is lowered a little and I have about 1/2" difference so it should fit under it.

I am going to LOVE this thing....it is so cool and easy to use. I will have to modify my rear rubber pucks to clear the rocker savers I have installed but that's so minor compared to how well this thing works. Life will be easier now for sure. I found a place to store them under my truck in a different stall. If you're on the fence about these, what are you waiting for?

mstromquist -- And others with the QJ...what type of hydraulic fluid did you go with? I was reading through the manual on mine and was surprised at how many options it allows for. Not sure if just going with an approved ATF or finding a place to get the hydraulic fluid would be the best option.
