My car didn't come with a jack. I wouldn't use a bumper jack even if it had one. What are you guys using for a jack? I was thinking of picking up a scissor jack from a bone yard. I have a good floor jack for the shop.

I have pickup up a scissor jack at the yard. Depending on how high you sit, you may want to get one from a truck that uses the frame vs one the type that uses the lip on the uni-body. The other option is to buy a small hydraulic jack but they are heavy and can roll around in the trunk.

I have a dimple from my hyd jack rolling around, it's a little one, but it sucks. That jack was getting pretty bad. Got another cheapo from a garage sale, made a frame to keep it from rolling around and to hold tha handle. It also is nice to have a base if you are on dirt so it won't dig in. I also carry a small block to use as a spacer since my car sits a little high in back-little jack is about petered out before the car if off the ground without it.

I keep a bottle jack in mine but it's in a tool bag so it doesn't roll around.

You guys that are using bottle jacks what are your jack points on the frame?

Jim

Knock on wood... but I've never had to use the bottle jack.  I use a hydraulic jack at home.

Otherwise, I would suggest for the front under the frame just below the front fender, and for the back just under the frame in front of the rear wheel.
