    Not bad but I'm more interested in the front wheels that come with the quick jack. They are like button size and one of my quick jacks the wheels are worn flat. So hard to push going from my shed to the driveway . I like to get bigger wheels for them witch I saw on another version like the quick jack. As far as your idea ya it's not bad but I don't have a garage so I'm more interested in getting it from my shed to the driveway. I might still take your idea up but tight now I prefer to replace the wheels on the jack before I go to yours.

    Thanks for the video, figured out that our R56 transmission issue was low on fluid. Did 7 spill and fills but the transmission was still "flaring" higher revs to get going. Added a Rislone Transmission Stop Slip 500ml bottle along with another 500ml of JWS3309 fluid on the last spill and fill. Pumped it all in, started the car, shifted through the gears while on front ramps only. and put the plug in without letting any drain out. Car now will start and shift better than ever, and even start normally on an incline. I'm impressed with the Rislone additive for fixing our issue. Hope to get many more miles out of this car. Acquired it at 117k, lifetime fluid never changed and was baked/burnt. Torque converter happy, transmission happy, family happy. Cheers

    I have a late-2023 (HW4.0) MY LR AWD. I swapped out the 19" Gemini's for Model 3 20" Sport Performance rims, which are 6 pounds lighter, and swapped out the stock tires for Hankook ION EV SUV AS 255/40/R20. The stock tires were 255/45/R19. The Hankook's have the foam inserts. The 20" tires look a lot better, and the ride seems to me to be about the same with the new setup - also, the tires are lighter, as well. No range change. Though, I actually would / should have gotten the Hankook ION EV SUV AS 255/45/R20's. I didn't think of it. Kicking myself for it. I feel pretty certain this would have not only made the car look better, but ride even better than the 19" Gemini's and the Hankook's I put on. And no issue with rubbing, either - and would have filled up the wheel well even better. Argh. Next time.

Not every owner is a young buck and WANTS to pick these up all the time. If you need to pick up these lifts and store them, it can be a chore. Leaving them on the floor and rolling them around beats picking them up. Thanks for your input.

    Thanks for the follow-up video. I just got my quick jacks and set them up according to the QJ video instructions provided by QJ. I have not lifted a vehicle yet because one quick jack seems to lock in place faster (1 second) before the other one. Is this common or have you had this issue? I bleed the system and will bleed it one more time in the morning. I’m wondering if it is because there is no weight on them and going back to your theory in another video of yours where the quick jack dropped on one side of your Audi. Seems yours did not lift evenly in that video where one side locked and the other did not. Did you bleed them again?

    • @TheAutomotiveFanatic
      @TheAutomotiveFanatic Месяц назад

      Congrats on picking up a set of QJs! QJ actually recommends that you bled the system without any weight on them so you did do it correctly. It's also common when first starting out that the lifts do not engage at the same time. I would go through the entire process one more time for good measures. I also recommend using jack stands underneath you vehicle just to be safe.

      Oh u didn’t used the diode but opted for the rectifier, any reason. Another thing, how did u managed to pushed through the rectifier legs into those pins(red/yellow & yellow/white) the space is very tight..

      @@huggysr in all honesty, it was all I had at the time and proved to work ok. As far as pushing the pins down, I was able to manage, just push them in.

      There is some truth to your comment. Having a yoke wheel does allow the screen to be more visible.

    Thanks for the video. I just purchase a refurbed 5000TL lift direct off their website. I have not yet ran it because: It arrived missing one of the long hoses (as well as the quick release fittings for each end of that), as well as only gave me 2 short blocks (not 4). I have a Porsche Cayman S so I'm almost sure I need those short blocks. The hoses I did receive all had the quick-release ends already attached, I believe the liquid thread sealer was used. So far emailed and sent pics to the company, nothing back yet but it's the first day of a workweek... I saved a little on my lift but hope it will eventually be okay. Any other tips you have would be much appreciated!! Thanks, Madison in Littleton CO. -m

      Thanks for stopping by and checking out my video. The 5000TL will have no issues with the Cayman. I would though, recommend that you use riser ramps to get the Cayman up higher. This will allow the QJ to have better lifting power. From a complete horizontal position, the QJ is weak and may have trouble lifting. Make sure you also have all the required parts!

      There is no way the closed loop system would allow itself to lower unless it was losing fluid. Same thing happened to me, I had a puddle by the pump from one of the hoses which I didn't place the thread sealer on correctly. Since that day I fixed the leak and have had this jack for over 3 year with hundred of lifts with ZERO problem.

    Saw your video just before setting up my 7000TL. Thank YOU. Those jacks are HEAVY. I also have them hanging on a wall, but this idea had me running to HarborFreight to pick up these Ball bearings. Truly a genius hack, thank you!

    Hello Peter, Question about using the rubber blocks on pinch welds: do you have any problems with cracking, general durability or safety precautions? Thanks for the information.

      I have a set of rubber blocks with the cut out for pinch welds. 6 yrs later, they're still functioning well.

    Silly question but does anyone have the approximate dimensions needed for the small 5/8" wood block for the 1" caster mount? And if so, do you think Home Depot or Lowe's would have scrap 5/8" plywood lying around? Curious where people have sourced theirs, since I am not at all a woodworker and don't have a table saw, etc. just to cut these small little pieces. Just need to get the rear 1" ball mounted!!

    • @TheAutomotiveFanatic
      @TheAutomotiveFanatic Месяц назад

      I believe you could get away with a small 5/8" 4x2 block. Check out Home Depot's scrap section. They also have saws on blocks that you can use.
