Re: Lifting (floor jack) points on my Jeeps
86 Cherokee doesn't have the fake D44. Other than with the aluminum housed
D44, what's the problem with lifting at the pumpkin? Not trying to sound
like a jackass, just want to make sure I haven't been doing this wrong for
years.

Re: Lifting (floor jack) points on my Jeeps
I've lift thousands of rear ends by the pumpkin in my twenty years as a
Chevron Dealer: http://www.----------.com/chevron.jpg But that was back in
the days when cars where powered by V8s via nine inch or twelve bolts. Now,
I'm not going take the chance, we know we can't stand on the hood, anymore
to pick fruit nor paint the house, in their attempt lighten the weight for
better mileage.
