skidplate and jack point

leeden · 11-02-2005, 09:32 AM

I'm thinking of getting a floor jack this year to do tire changes. I have the rally armor skidplate installed. Does anybody know if the front jack point is accessible with it on? I tried sticking my head under the car but couldn't get a clear view. From my vantage point right behind the front wheels, it sorta looks like the front crossmember is partially blocked by the skidplate.

Nevermind, I stuck a light under the car and was able to see that the skidplate clears the jack plate.

My skidplate covers the center jackpoint and I jack it there anyway with no probs except some scratches and minor dents, which I dont care about, but Im sure some of the people here do.
