Stay warm and imagine driving those cats in the sun.I'll be hiding in the shop fettling the little gremlin now in the corner,

Quick Jacks

Selling my 7000lb Quick Jacks. Used 4 times. Work well with modern cars that lift from jack points at the sills. Not so much with body on frame 50’s cars-thus the sale. 18” lift. $900 ($1800 new) in East Peoria.
My shop floor is not a dirty as the pictures make it look-honest!
