[DeTomaso] QuickJack Portable Car Lift - $999 at Costco

[Mike & Elizabeth Thomas]

Thanks Dick.  My only question would be what’s the clearance?  Not sure it would fit under the Pantera without using some 2x10” rails or other to drive up on.  Also, not sure how much access there would be to the front of the engine and coolant pipes etc.  What has your experience been so far?

 

- Mike

Mike, this may be more than you want but I would suggest you consider a scissors lift.

 

In looking at them, I found what I think is one of the best - the Titan 6600. I found it available online for $1,499 + $285 shipping. 

 

Take a look:

I was going to use it in my garage, but a friend said I could use his new private shop he is outfitting to work on his corral of cars, so I had it delivered there.

This lift at the price I paid for it is far superior to the others I considered.

   Given that the typical Pantera jack points, at least to get the whole
   car off the ground, don't run along the side rails, not sure if it
   would work as well.  My jack points are the front corners of the frame
   where the jack hole is, but I use the center of the three motor mount
   bolts as the rear jack stand location.  I suppose you could angle this
   one in towards the center of the car to do that, but not sure if that
   would be safe or stable.


   Thoughts?  I don't have room for a full car lift or two post portable.
   Costco has these on sale now for $999 for a set.


   Thanks
