    Maxjax Installs: Post Here

    that *****. I've had mine for 5 months now. I can promise you throw all those fittings on the post in the garbage can quickly. do yourself a favor and buy 2 1ft 3/8 6000 psi hoses. get 3/8npt male on one side and 1/4npt male on the other. thread the hose directly onto the post. then put the...

    MaxJax - Hydraulic Leaks

    Ok if you do that just leave the pump stuff alone. Those fitting don't leak. Partially because they use an fittings on the left side. I would add the 90 on the post side. The 1 ft hose will work great. Anything longer could be tight if your post is close to a wall like mine. Remember you need...

    MaxJax - Hydraulic Leaks

    Chuck the 90 is used so the hose exiting the post lay flat instead of pointing up. If you quick connect the pump then the only thing you need to do is take the hose to a hydraulic shop and get them to cut the fitting and put a 1/4 npt male on it so you can screw it directly into each post. You...

    i am 19 and want to open a small repair shop.

    i know plenty of mechanics. the money is in the side work for them. their main job put food on the table while the side jobs sends their kids to disney world. find a good dealership that you can get on with and build your customer base. i'm 100% loyal to my mechanics and go wherever they go...

    HF 3 day sale?

    my favorite thing from hf is the wrenches since they have 72 teeth. i use the 3/8 with 1/4 extension one a lot. probably my favorite one since i can get more torque when i need it. i have the side box added to the red roll around. pretty much perfect for all the things i use it for. i also...

    maxjax problem

    weird never happened again and this time i had both arms on there. i'm guessing the side that was heavier was able to push the fluid back through the proportion valve vs the lighter side.

    MaxJax - Hydraulic Leaks

    CHuck, Takes those FN fittings and toss them in the garbage. Absolute PITA to deal with. You are going to want to figure out where you are going to position the pump. Once you know where then go buy your custom lines. I could have saved some money if got rid of those fittings from day one...

    MaxJax Installation Tips - WORTH READING

    Improvements to the MaxJax lift

    got my 1 ft lines. if anyone wants to get it done, i went with 3500 psi aeroquip. then one side is 3/8npt and the other side is 1/2npt. that way i now have no fittings until i hit the quick connect. makes the install so much cleaner. you can also take this time to get the 90 degree elbow put in...

    MaxJax - Hydraulic Leaks

    i was thinking about this the other day. instead of using all those fittings, is there a reason why not to replace all those fittings with a 1 ft hose and use a 3/8 to 1/4 npt? one side would have the npt and the other side would have the male quick connect. That way tightening the line won't...

    Improvements to the MaxJax lift

    i took two 12 inch paint rollers and slit them down the middle. then i slid them over the silver pins. that way when i open my door on my 997 it doesn't hit and scratch the car. :) i also added 4 feet of hoses to the left arm so i could route the hoses nice and clean.
