Quickjack = 21st century tech.... work smarter, not harder.
Just my humble opinion.
I've used QJ's before. The prep time busting them out and sliding them under the car, hooking up the main pump to the 2 hoses, plugging in the pump and then double checking to make sure that the QJ blocks are at the correct lift points is the same as me just jacking the car up and sliding a jack stand under..

But once again I ask, where do you place your jack stands if your jack is located at the ONLY recommended jack point??

I love that steering wheel! What brand and do you have a link?
Hi, ebay from Taiwan, great service and communication, they made one without the 12 a clock stripe at no additional cost ?
And extremely quick shipping, arrived in a weeks time by DHL. The price is unbeatable too ?
Here is the link to their ebay store
https://www.ebay.com/str/youstarusastore
Just search for Supra, they have several stitching color options as well as both leather and alcantara.
Good luck ?

Subframe or cross members with a rag over the anchor to prevent marring from metal on metal contact... look at the blue A91 pic i posted. The jacks are just on the jack pads for support just in case and ease of lowering when i was done doing the oil change. There is also a write up on the multiple jack points on these cars... https://www.supramkv.com/threads/jacking-lifting-points.2497/

There is a center jack point for both the front and the rear if you have a jack that will reach them and the space to do so. That way you can lift the whole front or whole rear and place the stands at the jack points you’re talking about. I’ve done the butt-puckering lift the other end while the opposite is already on jack stands move with previous cars do make brake changes/tire rotations a little quicker. That fear of it falling off the stands while lifting the other end is why I decided to get some QuickJacks.

I disagree. Having them I would say the time it takes is in fact longer than using a jack and stands. I got them because I’m lifting all four tires off the ground more often than only two so I was willing to deal with the longer set up time in exchange for the peace of mind of lifting it all together. Instead of doing what I mentioned in my last post of one end then the other.

Nice! Good to know as I'm always careful about jacking any car.
I still feel that the quickjack is the best option for safe, inexpensive jacking. $1200 for safe jacking on both my Supra and Highlander to me is a bargain. Plus, no jackstands needed. ?

Installed the 4th brake light and rear LED side markers. Picture doesn’t do it justice but it looks amazing in person. I really like how the 4th brake light flashes for a couple seconds when the brakes come on.
oooooo I kinda like this approach to the side markers instead of the paint match

link pls?
