Guys, you made a video about lifting the car, without actually showing the car being lifted. And about the correct jacking points, without actually showing the points from underneath. You did not actually need the video. It was all audio. Appreciate your effort though. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.😎 One thing we didn't expect is how tight it is once the jacks are in place. Not a whole lot of room for anything but maybe a finger or two and you can't really see much. Maybe we need to do another with a better approach.
It was fast and easy to get lifted. Took a few minutes for him to connect hoses, then a few minutes to position. The raised. In all, about 6 to 10 minutes to raise as a guess. Could have been faster. Not sure. But we were talking and joking around a lot too. I think making sure the placement was right was the biggest decision that took a little testing and time. But still fairly quick to figure out. Sort of common sense but have to really be sure to be at the frame so we took time doing that.
You absolutely should. The owner of this car has a channel also. Look up Road Odyssey and you can see his content. Thanks for the support, we all need to help each other when we can.😎
Beautiful car. Lifting new cars always give me a high pucker factor. Was that way when we put the 4Runner on the lift for the first time. Looking forward to the next vid. Cheers!
You can use them either way but turned around pushes the contact points further forward. The biggest issue is getting the contact points in the right spot. I've lifted my C6 with them both directions too. Add to that, QuickJack even says you can set them perpendicular if you like and they'll lift just fine (just make sure the rams are running the same direction).
Some of the best garage tool money I've ever spent. They've allowed me a ton of flexibility in a lot of projects with the extra safety as well. If you've never used them I'll invite you over to try them out but you'll probably want a set.😎
@kenbrock4854 they're not but there is a frame rail that runs through, we used that flat pad as a jacking point. There are several jacking points that are not the transport tie down locations that are suitable jack points per GM. Thanks for your comment.
Useful video! Thanks for especially showing the correct jacking points for the car! It may seem like "common sense" but so many times you will see vehicles with minced bodypanels or sills from lifting the car incorrectly. I do wish ya showed how the quick jack worked though! 😝How fast was it to lift the car?
I do have a few earlier videos on the quick jack but I can certainly make another if you'd like.😎 Are quick jacks available in Australia? Hoping I got that correct and you're not in New Zealand or another neighboring country. Kinda neat knowing our channels are worldwide.😎
@@YellowJacketGarage hahaha! im in NZ, but you were so close bahah! I honestly have no idea, assume so but don't really hear about quick jacks here. will have a browse and see some more of your clips for sure! Also totally agree about the worldwide connection. its so great to see and encourage fellow auto-tubers all over the place!
@@STEPHASAURUSREKD ok, I'll make sure I remember NZ for sure.😎 These are something that would be a huge help in your garage but I'm not sure if there's a way to use them for motorcycles.
Thanks for giving me some of your time! I really appreciate you being here. I'm a gear head through and through. I had a chance to buy a couple of Fieros a couple years ago but they were just too far gone to bring back.
You are correct, there are only a couple steel struts, the rest is some variant aluminum products. I should have said "structural members" instead of steel but I do throw back to the old days once in a while. Thanks for the clarity.

Just realized I hadn't responded to this comment...still learn new stuff about the YT apps and stuff.
this corvette looks so sexy. My father-in-law wants one. Maybe I should convince him 🤣

I need to get better at noticing comments so I can respond in a timely manner.😳
Ideal for a unit that isn’t tall enough for a lift!
We haven't put that car on my lift yet but it should fit ok. My C6 is lower and it'll fit, I think.
Shouldn't the lifts be turned around for a mid-enigne? Since the weight is in the back
You can use them either way but turned around pushes the contact points further forward. The biggest issue is getting the contact points in the right spot.

How do you like the quick jacks in general?
Some of the best garage tool money I've ever spent. They've allowed me a ton of flexibility in a lot of projects with the extra safety as well. If you've never used them I'll invite you over to try them out but you'll probably want a set.😎
But the quack jacks aren’t long enough to reach both front and rear pockets……yours doesn’t look like they’re in the right pockets either?

Which model Quick Jack is this?
It's the BL5000SLX, I did an unboxing and set up video a long time ago if you're interested. It is long but it's a pretty honest assembly video.
I bought mine through Home Depot online and it was the best price I found and it ships direct from Quickjack.
Nothing like a mid engine car i build them pontiac fieros n rear engine chevy corvairs im from road odyessy channel

frame is aluminum, not steel

The labels should in the facing the back .Because that's where most of the weight is. The Jack's need to turn around.
