I've been searching club lexus and RU-vid for the past hour trying to find the exact location where to place the floor jack, your video is the first one to point it out. It wasn't hard, idk why no one talks about it.
The owner manual seems to highlight the area in front of the two silver bolts. So starting from the silver bolts and then head like an inch or two toward the front bumper, that’s where the manual highlights, unless I’m missing something.
Is the jack you are using a long-reach jack? I attempted to use my 3-ton low-profile Pittsburgh jack, but I couldn't reach the jacking point. I even stacked a 2 x 4, but the handle was touching the bumper, and I couldn't raise it.
You definitely have to get under there a bit. I'm using the Daytona DJ3000. Here's the link to the Harbor Freight site with specifications: www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-super-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-yellow-63183.html
I have the same 3-ton Daytona low profile jack you have and I had to sell it on FB because it was not long enough to jack from the jacking points. I tried to jack it from the pinch welds, but there are plastic trim pieces covering up the length of the pinch weld that wouldn’t allow me to have the jack in place and place a jack stand on the pinch weld. Gonna go buy the long reach 3-ton low profile jack tomorrow.
@@FamousSASkater how did the long reach work for you? The full barnwood 2x4 (actual 2x4, rough cut, not nominal) got the car up enough for me (stock suspension) to slide the jack under, though it was still tight under there and the first pumps of the jack were small ones.
I put it on the rail behind the pinch welds. The pinch welds are made to be strong enough, but they can get bent over if not aligned correctly. I'll attach a link for pinch weld jack adapters that are also handy should you want to use the pinch welds.
I wonder the same thing. Strange way to use the jack stands but I would not take floor jack out if the stands are oriented like that 😂. Actually I always leave the floor jack there just in case...
