That's good to know as you are local as well. How long does it take you to drive 4-5K?

You use the rear diff and/or the front middle area to jack up the car [with a scissor jack] for a flat tire?

^ Those are not the only factory locations; there are two on each side, one front one rear on the pinch welds.

Really? I'll have to look at the service manual again. I put my jack stands in the pinch welds.

Well they call the front and rear the 'garage jack points' and the pinch welds as the 'safety stand points':



So you're correct to do that BUT I don't know if I'd trust the scissor jack under the front and back points on anything less than a perfect surface (and even then...)

^ Yea scissor jacks will go on the pinch welds, Floor Jacks go on the Central Jack points (Diff and front nipple)

I would never try using a scissor jack on the Central Jack points ha.

tony does not work at river side any more, Rick does. There is also Tim@grubbs I ordered from him and 5 min later they were shipped

With OEM you will get the best initial bite, Less dust = less grip
