I'm thinking about it since I saw it being used by the lady who has a youtube channel "WOMAN DRIVEN"....she is mechanically inclined and nice to the eyes..

I didn't want to spend the $ on it and I'm so glad I did. SoulFunction subframe brace and FI exhaust make jacking from the front and rear points difficult. Now the Z goes on the Quickjack every time I'm doing something that doesnt involve me sitting in the driver seat.

I'm sure it's more than paid for itself in labor savings already.

That and medical.. had a HF jackstand fail on me when I was under the car. Never moved faster in my life. Swore then and there I'd find a better way, and I did.

Yep. One of my jack stands almost failed on me too. I have a neighbor who was putting on a new motor, on 4 jackstands and I couldnt help but cringe when he was under the car. Those things looks so flimsy.
But I still use jackstands as a backup to the qj.

FWIW, I really like my Esco jack stands. I am comfortable under those and I am pretty skittish as a fat man that cant move to fast.

Just curious how this happened. I use HF and make sure it is locked when I drop the car.

The tip of the cam that engages the teeth of the Y-shaped part sheared right off. Car lurched to the side, and I needed a new pair of shorts.

Btw I LOVE your fenders. You did an excellent job with contrasting colors on your Z.
