This is a good guide, however, do note that jacking up from the pumpkin is a bit of a contentious point. Some say its fine, some say you'll destroy your drivetrain immediately.
Not according to the key at the bottom of CJ’s photo"X" means no. "O" means yes. Therefore no pumpkin.
Good catch WD. Honestly I missed that. Agreed that I wouldn’t use the pumpkin as a jack point unless I had no other choice.Not according to the key at the bottom of CJ’s photo

Aye, no other choice and even then...
What’s the pumpkin lol ?Aye, no other choice and even then...
I do find it interesting that K-member brace is marked as a jack point. Dunno if I'd be keen to try with that one either, with it being right below and in closw peoximity to the oil pan.
Of course, you'd need a jack that can reach that far under the car in the first place, and I certainly don't know of any such device.
In four points we trust.
The differential. Which, yes, is stoutly cased... stout enough to hold the latter half of a near 4,000 pound grand tourer? On the bolted together seam??? I'd rather not take my chances.
Same thing, there's a jack point back there too...but using the one in the front jacks up the entire side of the car so I only have to raise it once. Put the stand under the subframe.
I regularly lift the whole side of the car for swapping wheels at and before the track and jacking rails are overrated. There's nothing earthshattering that they provide for the added cost and weight.
i jack from the center of the k member in front. reaching it has never been a problemAye, no other choice and even then...

Hm, interesting. It seems more of a reach than I guess it really is.
