jacking up front-rubbish

Recommended Posts

i have always used the front towing eyes to jack the front of the car up, since fitting my do-luck front that was no longer possible, untill now:)

(i have the front with the intergral undertray)

 

 

i removed the towing eyes and took them to work and extended them with 5mm plate, and re-inforced them

 

now jacking the front up is a breeze again

Good thinking. You should do a clip-on bit that would allow the car to be towed off on trackdays. Then I would buy it off you :)

Im sure that chassis leg isnt designd for stress in that direction.

 

Toyota supply a nice subframe to position your jack under, just get your stock jack out and raise the car a little to get access with a trolly jack.

I fitted a full veilside kit at the weekend, and apart from all the screws / plastic trays / nuts and bolts ect I had left, whilst i was under the car trying to put some of them back I thought where the bloody hell are my towing points? I then realised that they were about a foot back from the front of the car under the bumper. I hope I dont need towing if so can I get towed from my wiper blades?
