[Ae86 sr5]

I was wonder what you guys would suggest. Don't need it right away but something I will be picking up before summer.

I have no comment on the quality of either item that you posted. I have 3 atv's and whenever I need to raise them up, I just use a regular floor jack and put them on jack stands. I dont see the need for a special jack.

Ya my quad is on four jack stands at the moment, but I also have an 87 yz250 thats on the back burner and figured I would just pick up the real deal for this summer and down the road it will deff see alot of use.

I have the craftsman aluminum version of the atv jack for my Raptor 700. It makes moving that atv so much easier

At autzone they have a Dualast that looks just like that craftsman for $99.

Thats the kinda answer I was looking for. Was wondering how it would move around on it. Jack stands don't always do the trick. I had my front end apart and the skid plate kept making the jack stand slide while I was tring to work on it.

Ya I work at autozone and like to stay away from what they sell, I don't even buy all my parts there.

That looks pretty gimmicky in my opinion. I would just use the jack stand like others have mentioned or step up to an ATV jack. I have the aluminum craftsman version and it is nice but pretty pricey. Harbor Freight has a steel version that looks and feels very solid and has pretty good reviews on their website that goes for $90.

I was at habor frieght the other day and didn't really like the looks of it. I think I'll grab the aluminum craftsman one this summer.

i have the HF one and it works fine for what i need it for.

I also have the Craftsman aluminum ATV, and use it on my Polaris Sportsman 800. It makes it easy to move the ATV around, and to do any work on it.

I bought the yellow HF one for $59. It works well On my KLR, pretty well on my Speed Triple and does not work on my CBR1100XX.
I don't own a quad.

I bought the Pitbull one and love it. It is much wider and more stable than anything else I've seen, and made in the US. It also lifts higher than anything else I've seen, great for bike and quad owners...
I can't claim I loved the price.

I don't have personal experience with this jack but the thread reminds me of it
