ChrisS Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Was in Costco on Saturday. They have these little belters at £69.99 + VAT (£84) I like my toys so could not resist. Quote

Stew Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I have a blue one like that. Doubt it'd keep the truck up though! Quote
ChrisS Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 Doubt it'd keep the truck up though! You'll have to get another Stew, as in one for each side. Quote

rog518 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I wish you would stop finding things at costco I want as dont have one anywhere near me! Good find tho Quote
Ian Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I have a blue one like that. Doubt it'd keep the truck up though! And me, has a built in light aswell Quote
scubapics Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Does this jack fit right under the front and rear jacking points? Or do you still need to lift the car on planks first? Quote
Stew Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Does this jack fit right under the front and rear jacking points? Or do you still need to lift the car on planks first? Mine goes under my lowered car with USDM Nismo sideskirts on it with no need for planks. Quite simply the only reason I bought it! Quote

So I placed the jack on some wood Its cracked the wood! +1... i was going to change some bubshes on my BMW last weekend, but spent an hour trying to jack the fecker up, but my jack kept sinking into the tarmac. Gave up and paid a garage in the end... Quote

Do you mean to say that you jack up your car using the sill jack points? Or are you using the differential and front cross member jack points but accessing them from the side rather than the front or rear of the car? Jim Quote
elfman Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I'd like to know where people are jacking there cars up from to, i remember reading on here someone was using a hydrolic lifter like this one, with some wood and using the sill jacking points? i was going to use my hydrolic lifter but voted against it as i wasn't sure where to jack from and didn't want to kill anything. Bit of a noob when it comes to jacking cars up, most others i can do but i really dont want to kill the zed hahaha! Quote
elfman Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Good man! i was trying to find one of these looked on zwiki and everything and couldn't find it! top job Quote
tez162003 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 had my one of these for year and a half now, also got mine from costco. Still going strong Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Haven't got access to a costco, but found the same one (I think) on e-bay (item no 250822174977). Anyone know if costco still do them and what the price is now (and how I can get one), or should I get this one off e-bay? Need a low entry jack as mine has barely 10 cm of clearance at the sides. Thoughts? Quote
