Jacking these cars...
blows. Even following the manual jack points, it looks unstable. I decided not to get underneath it.
Where do you guys use as jack and stand points? I saw stoney's faq but it was hard to tell from the picture what he was actually using as jack and stand points. I tried in a couple of different places and decided it was just too soft.

I use the factory locations....
...for the factory jack. Right next to the point where it hooks onto the car, there is a flat area that's perfect for most jack stands to support it. The undercoat is soft, but that's the same anywhere under the car. There are also adaptors available that clip in to the lift points so you can jack from those too. STFA and you will find what I'm talking about.

the jack point is right under where the door blades are, where
the mud gets kicked up the most from the tire.
you'll see re-inforced " rails " there that do well...however best to use a big wooden block or support piece to help the rails support the weight. www.purems.com sells a (red or yellow) jack support block.
