Jacking points?

[Stu Rasmussen]

Hi all,

I'd like to get safely underneath my newly acquired beast for a survey
of things to come.

The manual shows jacking points (which I do not have the appropriate
jack or adapters for) and I am presuming that I can find a suitable
intersection or two of heavy frame members and apply a bottle jack to in
order to lift enough to place a set of jack stands.

I'm looking for advice from those with more experience (meaning > 0) than I.

Thanks

Stu

Under the bogey box

Behind the front wheel at the joint
Between the front subframe and side rails.

Under the center of the main front frame crossmember where the two holes are

Under no circumstances jack up under the single thickness c channel side
rails.

Once you have it jacked up, put blocks under the frame to keep it up when the jacks fail. Yes, they will fail. I carried short sections of 4x6, and
4x4 wood as blocks. I have also had the dubious pleasure of having a GMC fall off a jack (not mine).Gravity is faster than you.
If I had a wheel off, the removed tire was always placed under the frame nearest the removed wheel. Semi-safety nut.
