better Jack point..?

Dan Z Man

Okay, so i was looking under my car today, just lookin at it, getting familiar with it, know where everything is, what it looks like etc etc... anyways, i noticed the frame in the front of the car had good jacking points, (not where u put the stock jack) and i was like yeah, that can work... so i put two jack stands in the front, very very sturdy and safe... so i work my way back to the car and notice that the same frame rail or whatever it is, is blocked by this fiberglass looking thing(idk if it's actually fiberglass) held on by a couple of little bolts and clips..so i unbolt them and take it off, it revealed the rest of the frame rail and now is an awesome jack point... so what i did was, dremeled out a piece of the plastic/fiberglass thing enough to where there is enough to put the jacks.

i mean, i dont know what those pieces are there for, i'm thinking something to do with aerodynamics??? so i figured if they were there, they were there for a reason, and that's why i put them back on rather than kept them off.

let me know what you guys think, and if it's been done before i apologize, i just figured i'd share just incase anyone is having trouble thinking where to put jack stands

now going down the line, this is where that fiberglass piece starts:


The whole pice itself:


Ok, this is where the end of the rail and fiberglass piece ends, notice how there is not enough room for a jackstand there:


This is with it dremeled out, and now can fit a jackstand:


Now being supported:

There we go, 4 nice and sturdy jack points






p.s. i didnt know where to put this thread, i thought it was pretty general, so i put it in the general thread
