Yep, I remember seeing them on sale for $900 and deciding next time they went on sale I would buy them. Next time they were on sale they were $1300. Oof. Still worth it though.

I went ahead and added the little ball bearing casters to mine and it’s a lot easier to move on my garage floor now.

i highly suggest the roller transfer bearing mod to make it wheel around. best thing i ever did. also put the quickjack pump on wheels.

I did the same thing. Excellent mod. Easy to roll around and position. I ordered the pinch weld pads for use with my 2019 Shelby GT350. I took my jacking rails off, not needed.

One last mod I've done to my Q.J. I installed a 2x6 over the top and held in place with some deck planks, that war secured to the 2x6 and that were sized to fit into each pocket on the Q.J. This locks the 2x6 into the Q.J. It works perfect with my Steeda full length jacking rails and Steeda sub frame brace on my Mustang. The Steeda rails combined with the 2x6 keeps any load from being transfered to the side skirts and the lip on the sub frame brace bites into the wood plank keeping the car very secure. I do remove the 2x6 when using the Q.J. on my other cars and just use the rubber blocks. This works very well for me and I dont worry about the load on the side skirts on my Mustang. Plus the load of the car is spread over the entire length of the Q.J.

Do you happen to have a picture of this setup? Sounds like a good idea.

also you will notice that the car sits higher then normal. That is because I built a set of modular full length rams that the car sits on when it is at home.

So .just the pump unit , look like 12 x 18 inches.
Might have to build a leanto add on to side of garage for the bigger tools.
Really need a 2,3 car garage but wife vetoed that long ago.

Un-veto it with your super majority. (Can you tell I have an ex-wife? )

You can keep them on the floor together and park your car over them. With the roller ball mod they will glide into position.

Here are my 7000TL ready for parking. Also shown is how I implemented the roller ball mod.

unless you need to move the pump unit around, it can fit on a 12-inch wide shelf anywhere on a wall and connect the hoses when you need to use it.
you're living a tough life man

So here's a question. They don't roll around when extended and the vehicle is on them?
