EDIT QuickJack would be a replacement though, looking at the cost, I would be better off selling my Kwik-lift for these or just staying with my current set-up

I would absolutely go for the quickjacks over the kwiklift.

He has no room for a full lift or do I , hence the use of a quickjack. The garage roof is low ...

Working outside sounds like an interesting winter project.

Haha . I am a Cannuck ! We live for the frosty cold air ,ice and snow of the north .. Not bothering me . You would be surprised how often we get amazingly nice sunny weather here in the winter . I have ridden my motorbikes a few times during winter also if no salt is down .

One issue I have had with the lift is if you do not use it for a bit , the hoses get an air or over pressurized trans oil lock in this case . What will happen is the quick connects will not release because of to much internal pressure. So I called the Quick Jack people which I got threw to quickly and they suggested I just loosen the threaded connections and bleed a bit of transmission oil out . Bingo . That did it, but have a few rags around to let it drip on and for clean up . They also said you will not have to top up the oil level in the hoses . The lift works fine again once I bled the lines . Only one end of the hose connection will need to be opened .
It 's a really great product and works as advertised . I was also able to mod my jack stands to support the lift should it decide to move which I am sure it will not having used it quite a few times now and seeing how stable and solid it feels when the car is raised . Put your everyday car up on the lift first to do your test lifts and try to move it by giving it a shove . It will be very solid and stable . Always use the rubber blocks that they send with the lift or you will damage your car and the lift .
Read the instructions from start to finish . Very important info of the do's and don'ts . And yes you can turn the lift and lift your car sideways if needed . Perfect lift if you do not have the height or space in your garage for a full lift .

Hello Mike, thanks for the info.....getting closer to a purchase......I will also go with the 110v as you mentioned, as I'm not tracking the car, so no need for the battery option......
And you are getting a lot of use out of yours which is great, making it a real pleasure to do all kinds of work on your vehicles......

Missed you both at Carlisle this year, say hello for me......

Hey Tom . Could not make Carlisle this year .
Well I do my own oil / winter tire changes on my Susuki Areo and my Elnatrash and of course work on the Z . I use it for a number of different reasons. Working on the Z such as repairing the window stop or even for cleaning . Much easier on the back . You will find your back thanking you each time you raise the car .
