I got my Quickjack all set up and assembled for the first time as I set about a complete suspension and brake overhaul. Also plan to refinish the calipers as I pretty much have an Ohio winter ahead of me where the car isn't going anywhere.
I also received mine and used it for the first time. I really like it. Seems much safer than using jack stands to get the car off the ground. Definitely much quicker. Costco has them on sale right now. Delivery to the house.
I like mine a lot so far. I bought the BL-5000SLX from Pelican Parts for $100 off, free shipping, and 3 free quarts of ATF. It's very well built and very stable once you're up. I did a fair amount of research here with this community specifically. You'll find in my pic (like many others here) I have it set up "backwards" compared to what the manuals say. You have to imagine most users have a front engine car. I have even seen some people complain about ability to remove tires once it's fully up. In this configuration ("backwards") you can see that is not a problem at all.
I really like my QuickJacks too, but I don't use them backwards.
I haven't run into any issues running them the "correct way."
Someday I'll try them backwards just to see it they're better that way.
I'll have to clean and re-organize my garage first.
Installed the the deck mat.
As some of you might remember from this post, I had to send back the first one that didn't fit correctly. I received the 'fixed' mat today.
On side note, if there is anyone besides me that's cuckoo for Cocomats, they're having a 15% off sale from today through Wednesday 11/3. Use coupon code EARLY15. Historically these sales only happen right AFTER I've placed an order.

I use them "backwards" also. Depending on the car, location of engine, I put the yellow decal closest to the engine. When I first used them, I thought it seemed a little wobbly with the tag forward. Swapped it, much less wobble. Btw, I have the 7K pound version.
Replaced the headlight switch last night so I could take my wife to dinner. Hadn't driven the car in a while. Pretty painless. Have to go get a torx screwdriver set because I couldn't get the angled screw under the switch ****. Didn't keep me from driving.
Yesterday I did the second damper (behind the radio) to finally be rid of vent foam forever. Also fixed the glove box switch that was misaligned (light was staying on and horn was beeping at locking). Then wrapped up the day by polishing the headlights while watching Michigan football.
