does the color match perfectly?
It's never perfect. With that side, IMHO, it's very close.
Thats a whole lotta rice!
Don't forget the soy sauce.
This video saves a lot of frustration and time. I bought a e-torx wrench for the new bolts based on the tips in the video. It made the job so easy.. Thank you!
I am glad you found the video helpful! Cheers!
I just bought this. I can’t smell anything unless I put my nose right next to it.
Did you install the wick? Also, the fragrance is light so it needs time to permeate through the car.
How are they holding up? You didn't lose them yet? 😊
Knock on wood, I haven't had one client tell me their's have fallen off.
How does this hack work when under load? if there is a car sitting on them do they still move? Any danger of the rollers being crushed by the weight of the car/truck on top?
The bearings only work when the lift is flat. Once it starts to raise, the bearings on longer make contact with the floor and raise with the lift. Therefore, it's 100% stable.
Just finished the first one (LR) and it was easy as your video showed. That damned wheel and tire are heavy, especially for a 75 year old. Thanks for a great video.
Thank you for using my video as a guide!
anybody know if 5/8 or 3/4 inch ball bearings wheels would work ? I am worried about the height of QJ fitting under car . Thanks
You may need to use a riser ramps to give you some clearance if height is an issue.
Hello there Peter. 1st time that I bumped into your channel. Thank you for the hack on the QuickJack. Quite useful and simple to do. I'm starting to do my homework on them, since I'm looking to get one, (like the 5000 series, being that i also have an older car from the 70s). I like that they don't take a lot of space, since my garage space is limited and though they lift the car up too-too much, it's better than me crawling on the floor with floor jacks, stands etc. I'm not a kid anymore.... (Actually in my middle 60s 😁). One question that i have for you is, i was thinking of using it in my driveway sometimes where I'll have more room width wise...Could i use a decent duty extension cord to make the cord longer, also what amperage-wise, receptacle would i need to safely run this. Thank you for your time and stay well...
Thank you for stopping by and checking out my video! I have used the QJ in my driveway using an extension without issues. However, 2 things...you need to make sure your driveway is level and two, I use would at least a 12/3 rated at 15amps.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thank you Peter for the quick reply. That sounds as I thought. The driveway is quite flat with possibly a very small pitch towards the street but nothing that would make the raised car go out to it. Thank you again. In the garage, can I leave the car up for extended times, or will I have a hard time bringing it back down?
@@anthonyvee QJ designed the lift to be able to keep a vehicle up for extended periods of time. Just make sure that it's locked in and disconnect the hoses.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Sounds good and thank you. Stay blessed.
Rule #1: Make sure the locks engage on each side! They don't necessarily lock simultaneously. Cause? Possibly not adequately bled before use.
Thanks for your input
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic I own one. There's a delay from one side to the other. If only one side locks and you releaase pressure, you could roll the car.
@@darrylchase3688 If you own one, then you would notice that I discovered a flaw in the system. It does not have an anti-bleed back valve. Hydraulic fluid should NEVER flow back into the reservoir unless you're pressing on the switches. In this scenario, due to one side being locked, the weight of the vehicle was pushing fluid back into the reservoir which caused my vehicle to fall off. Make sense?
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Which is why you always verify BOTH sides lock. I don't trust any lift until I verify lock.
@@darrylchase3688 I get your point....I even use 4 jackstands now in conjunction with the QJ. However, the flaw still remains and QJ has done nothing about it.
Hello, the side view mirror on passengers side broke on my tesla model3. I did purchase the replacement mirror, but don’t understand how to fix the wired parts that are soldered and how to remove the white part, could you please help 🙏@theautomotivefanatic
You should be able to pull the wires off of the solder parts. It's basically clips.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Really appreciate you responding, thank you so much. So does it not affect the features of the sideview mirror if I don’t put the white soldered wires in the new mirror?
@@TheAdeebah If possible, take some photos and email them to me so that I can help you.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic That would be lovely, where can I find yout email address please?
STP, baby!
wider tires more contact patch more road friction...less miles per charge
You're correct about more road friction...but you're forgetting one key aspect: the overall taller diameter means less tire rotation is needed to travel the same distance. In the end, it's a wash between the two.
Thanks just got mine!!!!
Awesome, you will like these!
I gave it 10 seconds n then cut my throat. 🤡
Sorry but you dont have to be a rocket scientist to make sure the lift is up enough to manually check the safety locks before letting it down. This looks like one of those commercials where incompetents rules.
Thanks for your input...explain to me then, why did the lift continue to come on down? They hydraulic pump should have kept pressure to keep the vehicle supported until it was corrected. Oh wait...QuickJack DOES NOT have a safety bleed back valve. That's what you call incompetents designed.
It is safe use this battery air pump for my paddle board (max 12-15psi) cause i have total 4 paddleboard me my wife n w kids..atm i only have 1 paddleboard electric pump and it took at least 10-12mins to get full of air on each paddleboard..that's why i have a plan to buy another 1 like this with battery..thank you :)
It's completely safe. Just make sure that you set the pump to 12-15psi max and it will stop.
Very clever Peter! Mine will be delivered late August. Thank you!
You will enjoy the QJ!
I can tell when I first saw your video one side locked and you started to lower to lock in place, the driver side wasn't completely locked so driver side continue to go down.
Operator error
excellent video, i will try and do mine this weekend thanks so much for taking the time to film.
Take your time to perform this DIY.
Does the sound go in thru the aux port and if so, how is it? Is it low / poor quality, or similar to bluetooth? i.e. do you have to turn the volume in the car way up to hear decent audio?
Yes, sound was played through the AUX port. From what I can remember, sound quality was not bad. It was still clear and vibrant.
why all the movie videos you showed looks like in slow motion? what is the refresh rate of the monitor? it looks like the processor barely can keep up with the unit itself and it is slow processing power make video and loading apps information very slow. I noticed like populating video previews on RUclips app was so slow that it almost useless
Both video clips you saw, were originally choppy. The Hadouken! - Levitate, what the original, you'll see. The refresh rate and CPU can easily keep up with a HD video.
You dont have to use that awkward fill plug , we just pump the new fluid with a hand pump through the drain/level check hole. its a lot easier .
Thank you for the suggestion!
I think Peter meant to say using a Laser Thermometer to check the fluid temperature. Not a heat gun.
Thank you....My mouth doesn't always say what my mind is thinking.
"I'm lucky to be alive!" LMAO
How much higher do those rollers make the QJ sit? I have a lowered C5 Corvette, my QJ's get here tomorrow just in time to replace the trans cable. I'd really like to do this if it doesn't interfere with getting under my car.
The bearings raise the entire QJ roughly 1/2". The main issue you're going to run into though, from a close to horizontal position, the QJ will not lift your C5. The hydraulic pump is not strong enough. You need to drive your C5 up ramp risers so that the QJ can lift it once it has some vertical lift.
Man, I wish they made this for my BMW wheels!
Bill, I am wondering if some of the Tesla edge protectors will work.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic If they made them for carbon fiber wheels, I might have spec'ed them on my soon to arrive Corvette.
@@billlemon6887 Did you do the E?
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic yep ERay. 0-60 in 2.5 sec (they claim)
Please put together an unveiling video!
what would you say if it all 4 tires are 20 in? do you think that would improve ride quality and make it smoother? im looking at getting a 2022 Model Y Perf, and some people said that i should get 20 in for all 4 tires bc that will improve ride, noise, and bumpiness. Have you heard that tire set up before? Thank you for your help with this..
Many owners have downsized to the 20" rims with good success. If I could do it again, I would run a 265/40/20 tires on a square rim set up. This would provide better range, slightly softer ride quality, and the ability to rotate my tires.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic that sounds awesome. I want the 21s for the summer and look and I was looking to get the 20' for all the other weather. but getting more range with the 20 is what im really looking for. Thanks for that.
@@Channel323 good luck with your setup.
Thx! did it today. i´ve changed the airbagcap, paddle shiters to lambo urus, and Black borders around the steering wheel buttons. Your Video helped a lot :-)
Outstanding! I am glad to hear that the video helped you swap out your paddles.
I've used my bros many times at his place (we help each other often) and consider them quite handy for home gamers with smaller vehicles. Their portability is very nice if you need that, for example if you currently rent your home. I don't own one because I've a Bend Pak-style pantograph lift (much harder to move but not hard to weld on scaffolding caster tube which I'll do before moving it again) but the only reason I have that is it was in new condition for 500 bucks from a shop that never used it and wanted the space for a two-post lift. If you rent either is very nice. If you own, get a two or four post lift possible because they do so much more.
If I could do the entire system again, I would use either a 2-post lift, or a 4 post, finances permitting.
Euro code is crap. Did yours break yet? The front one broke after only 3 years.
HELLO YOU CAN HELPME WHIT CONECTIONS OF THE HANDLE LED AUDI A3 REGARDS FROM MEXICO REALY NICE VIDEOS
So what about with the car on them, can you role the car around or do you have to take them off every time
The moment you start to lift the QJ, the bearings no longer contact the ground.
Omg.. i thought that screws on the front are holding everything.. This montage is so ....shitty...
I painted my calipers when I first got my model Y. Then repainted them a year later. But I’m going to buy the caliper cover and see how I like them. Good video
Painting is a great option, but this requires less prep and is cheaper.
It also looks like he didn't bleed the system properly, hence one side coming up faster than the other. Should have kept going up until he hears the second click. Also, I have learned this system doesn't like holding the weight for too long while not locked. What I mean is, when you are bringing the car down, you should never pause in between locks for too long.
Thanks for your insight, the system was bled multiple times based on Quickjack guidelines. To take your input that the system does not like holding the weight of the vehicle, you're 100% correct.
You should use Race Ramps blocks once the car is up.
The race ramp blocks are great products, unfortunately, you can't perform suspension work using them.
Thanks Peter! I use the quick jack daily for mobile service and have been thinking about how I could make them easier to slide. Putting the ball casters on the risers is genius! Thank you
Right on, another user who uses them as much as I did. Now it's easy glide back and forth.
OMG get to the point
Thanks for sticking around...I know I have a tendency to speak too much.
Ahhh, procedure error!!!
Ahhh, no anti bleed-back valve!!!
Is there any fast charger or adapter for tires pumps that can be safely connected to the home outlets ? I’m not comfortable running the car to charge the pump through the cigarette lighter. if so, which ones do you recommend, I’m in the blind here. Thank you.
Harold, I understand that the cig-lighter is an option, but why wouldn't you want to keep your inflator fully charged?
Hey Peter
Anyway to disable the beep ? On TSL 6 ? Disable somehow ?
I would reach out to EVOOOR to see if they can send you directions or tell you how to disable to beep.
Great video 🙏👍
Definitely a must have in the summer heat of SoCal.
Does anyone know what size torx bit is needed for the bolt on the pan above the frame?
Kevin, it should be the same as the other bolts.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic the other bolts are not torx, they’re hex head
@@kevinpoehlmann5157 No other bolt is a torx? That's odd that only that particular bolt would be a torx.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic You show it clearly in your video. Torx (you call it "star bolt") is the screw you need to drill the hole to get to. the other pan bolds are regular hex.
@@kevinpoehlmann5157 My apologies Kevin if I forgot that single bolt is a torx bit and the rest are regular hex. Perhaps you can try a T25, 27, or 30.
only Tesla can randomly remove features and not tell anyone about it.
They do lot of random things that pissed pass, current, and future owners off.
I know the back 295 has no foam, does anyone go no foam on front? I need to replace all 4 and can’t decide on the foam for the front
I would not waste my money on tires with acoustic insulation. Do they work?marginally. A recent report I read stated that in road testing, acoustic insulation reduced road noise by 1db. If you think the extra cost is worth the price of admission, more power to you. What they are really designed to do, is to absorb road frequencies between 175-220hz.
How are they wearing since you put them on
@@19thpar3 17K miles later and I have gone through the 295/35/21 in the back. The fronts are still running strong.
I just installed these and your instructions here were helpful. Yes, I noticed that the fit between the two rears was a little different. I checked the fit and the clearance (using a flashlight) to ensure nothing was coming near the rotor and that the two parts that hug the caliper fit snugly. I also wiggled the caliper covers to ensure everything was nice and tight and tightened all the bolts a little at a time to keep things even. The stickers did NOT come installed. I was very annoyed by this because just peeling the stickers was not easy and the lettering kept sticking to the wrong side so I had to fiddle with it. But I did that part in an air conditioned and comfortable place before doing the installation. It took a good 1/2 hour and I really with they'd just put the stickers on for us (but I'm sure there are worse things that can go wrong 🙂so I'm over it). Also, I'm wondering how those stickers will hold up esp. when doing a wash (probably want to avoid a power washer). I still like the look and I'm happy you made the video so thanks!
Hey Dennis, I am glad you found my video useful! It wasn't too difficult so it's nice to hear you succeeded in the installation. Cheer and enjoy your Tesla.
I installed the unit but the software malfunctioned and did a factory reset. Now none of the applications are there (no Netflix, no CarPlay, etc.) Do you know if there is a way to re-install the software? I haven't been able to get help from anyone.
Did you try side loading apps? In short, you need to download the app APK file, place it onto a USB, then install it from there.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic I figured out that the issue was that the custom settings on the buttons on the bottom of the screen were erased. So I had to reprogram the A-G buttons and now I have access to the applications. They were there I just couldn’t get them on the screen. Used default password of 1234 to gain access to these setting.
@@LegumVideos I am glad you were resourceful enough to give it a go.
