I bought a used 3500# QJ.=C2=A0 I have not tried it with my TR3, but use i=
t all the time with my FP Miata, which is quite low.=C2=A0 It fits between =
the tires with a few inches clearance.=C2=A0 The TR4 wheelbase is about an =
inch shorter than the Miata.=C2=A0 I know that it fits between the tires on=
my TR4, since I have stored one jack under there.=C2=A0 Is the 5000# QJ lo=
nger than the 3500# one?=C2=A0 If so, that may be an issue for you.
It works out very well, but I have had one minor issue.=C2=A0 The wheels at=
one end of each jack unit are hard plastic and I have already broken a cou=
ple of them.=C2=A0 When I get a chance, I will make some out of aluminum or=
steel.
One other inconvenience is that when lifted, you can only access the center=
underside of the car from the front or back.=C2=A0 Can't just scoot under =
the side.=C2=A0
The Miata gets lifted from the pinch welds.=C2=A0 I bought some extra rubbe=
r blocks that fit around the pinch welds.=C2=A0 These same rubber blocks ca=
n also be used under the TR frame.=C2=A0=C2=A0
I have seen QJs used in the paddock, so one advantage is that it is portabl=
e enough to take to the track, provided that you have a generator or access=
to power at the track.
