merckx Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Under the differential, no need for a plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 but!! if you`ve just fitted a set of trd type skirts where`s the best (you now can`t use those two points above)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted August 13, 2005 Author Share Posted August 13, 2005 theres 6 points listed dude...granted 2 of them are not really roadside ones.....id suggest a can of tire inflator if you are worried about flats at the side of the road!

Homer Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Trd skirts? There's no such thing unless its a widebody car You must mean the OEM (plastic) ones. If so the standard jack should just (and I mean JUST!) fit under the skirt, works fine for me and I have Eibach springs in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 ive got the toyota side skirts if thats what u are on about and i can get a jack under there no probs or if your jack wont fit Jack car up using jack in the boot and then place the trolley jack under there after if you want a more secure jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 You must mean the OEM (plastic) ones. If so the standard jack should just (and I mean JUST!) mate its not just rather then risk scraping your skirts, i push jack under car sideways just in front of the front wheel, pass it round back of the wheel and then jack your car up. hope that tip helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
