I finally got a chance to put together the Quickjack BL-5000 this past weekend and got some pictures and a video of it in action as well so i figured i'd post it up.
Assembled and ready to be put into action
This is the lift fully extended. There's a lock mechanism as well so in the event the hydraulic pump fails the unit won't collapse completely
A shot from behind. As you can see there's tons of room underneath the car now, plus there's added security that the car is held up securely and won't tip over.
Here's a quick video of the car being lifted and lowered. I confess, the video is sped up 2x. It takes a little over a minute for the lift to reach it's maximum height and a little over half of that to lower the car completely. Despite the slightly slow lift time, it's going to be awesome to be able to lift all four corners in one shot, whether it's for a tire rotation, suspension work, or any work that requires being underneath the car.
Besides the putting together the new jack, i also started working on tearing down the car. I began with the interior. Dirty does not even begin to describe what the inside of the car looked like. Here's the driver's side with the seat removed. Who knows how long this stuff has just been sitting and decaying in the car...nasty!
And here's the trunk...gross!
Luckily with a little bit of vacuuming i was able to clean it up a bit, but i think i'm still going to have to shampoo or steam clean the carpet at some point.
I also finally got around to playing around with the GT2 wing that i picked up. I thought about just buying the GT2 High Mount wing stands, but after finding out it would cost me $750 not including shipping for just the stands, i decided to try to find a way to make use of my GT3 wing stands instead. I did some mock fittings just to see what it would look like. I think i'm going to make some custom plates to make the wing sit a little bit higher than it does with the original wing mounts. I also need to find a way to secure the stands to the trunk since the GT3 stands aren't threaded underneath.
