Any of you have one you can recommend? Been thinking about ordering one so I can change up wheel sets and do my own oil changes. Something similar to this...

I am still using floor jacks and jack stands for wheel rotation. I do ramps in the driveway for oil changes. Something like that would be nice though.

Not rotating....swapping out different wheel sets. Ordering a third wheel set.

I started this thread a while back before I started working on my gtr at home and have done anything and everything using the quickjack. checkout the thread and there are some other ideas from folks on there as well for heavier cars like ours. Hope it helps

I use these at the shop, considering getting one for myself. It has no issue lifting 5400lb Land Rovers.

They even roll around on the pump dolly, if you're feeling determined It's a smooth half ton, although rolling is more like 500lbs.

I was checking this one out as well due to my wife's escallade but chose the other one as all these scissor ones either hinder the ability to access or work on exhaust pieces especially on track. Obviously this would easily serve the OP purpose if he was not working on the underneath of the car.

Couple of options in this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...-car-lift.html including one we have for my wife's track car( ez-lift) which is down fairly low in this pic. Uses a power drill to raise and lower
