Are Quickjacks Worth It?
 

Since I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time working on my car in the garage, I'd figure something like this would be a good purchase!

Anyone else use a Quickjack for their GR86/BRZ?

If you can get yours on sale, it's definitely worth it. I use mine on both cars. I got the 5000 model, and iirc, I got it on sale for $1k. I also got the pinch weld blocks at the same time (it comes with the frame rail blocks).

Sht, I would absolutely love a Quickjack!

I'm hopeful to own a set of these someday. I'm under my car so frequently, these will always be on my bucket list. Baby steps though, I need to buy a proper oil filter removal tool first.

Here is the proper tools for removing the oil filter on a twin. If you need more than that, you are putting it on too tight.

Fumoto valve + Rhyno ramps will be your friends

Hands always work, but tools are cooler!

Fumoto valve already on, it's great!! Ramps don't work in my garage, too slippery

I found pretty good success using OEM Tools (Autozone) one. Its been great for vehicles where the filter is underneath, and hasn't failed me on the BRZ.

I'm kinda like and don't like my quickjack. Dislikes are the rails are very heavy for an older guy with mobility issues, it doesn't go high enough for my trucks, and won't work with the Lotus. It only works with the twin and the 911. Takes me a lot of up and down and moving around to get the rails and blocks aligned. likes are, once it is in place, if you have a lot of suspension or under car work to do, it gets the car a nice distance off the ground in a very safe manner.

I mean, I'd be happy to relieve you of that burden if you wish to get rid of it. :D:D:D

For oil changes, an extractor pump has been one of my favorite buys.

I asked on youtube as well but anyone look at the Bendpak MD-6XP? I'm kind of leaning towards that and sacrificing the mid access in exchange for the additional height. Was curious if anyone else had considered similar or did any analysis. I also figure the Bendpak could be useful on higher rise vehicles so it might fit more use cases overall with the trade-off that I'd likely need to build/buy some ramps to get a couple inches of clearance. Also, it appears to be much heavier, so it'd probably live in place.

I have rhino ramps and I cannot use them for my twin, and I am only slightly lowered with TRD springs. They are too tall.

For me, 12" Race Ramps, one a single piece, one a two piece. Super low profile, high lift, HF jack. Plenty of room to work under the car on a creeper.
