Where are the jack points?
 
Where are the jack points for 3rd gen T4Rs? I searched but only found threads for 5th gen 4Rs. If anyone has pics please post them. Thanks so much.

Find a solid spot and call it good.

If you are lifting just one front tire, the lower control arms also work. Just be aware and careful of the lower ball joint bolts. For the rear tires, the differential is the easiest spot and lifts both at once.

Pretty sure you can lift anywhere on the frame I think.

I just lift mine from anywhere on the frame or the middle of the rear axle

If I recall correctly, the frame on my 1996 has little arrows notched into it where the lift points are.

Ohhh that's what those are! I was poking around underneath yesterday and noticed 5-6 notches in the frame on each side. Didn't know what they were.

Anyone have photos of these arrows?? I am curious as I never saw those on any of my frames. ( probably because of rust)

Is my jack a baby jack or something because it barely reaches the frame. I have a regular aluminum 3 ton jack but barely lifts if hitting the frame.

There is no such thing as a "regular" jack. Are you saying that your jack is almost fully extended when it reaches the frame? If so you probably have a low profile jack or just a jack with a low lift height. If it's an older jack, and it won't go any higher, but it doesn't seem to be mechanically limited it could just be low on hydraulic fluid.

the only arrows I have ever seen are the ones on the plastic cover on the drivers side. covers up the shift linkages and fuel filter area. does a great job of keeping salt/junk out of there. is a pain to put back on when doing maintenance so I'm guessing they just get tossed most of the time.

Why would the recommendations change?

If I'm jacking up the front on mine (aftermarket skid plates), I use a slightly different position... but otherwise everything else is the same.

Ok.. I never saw the jack arrows. Those points are standard frame jacking points. :)

As your 4 tires are the contact points for the vehicle weight distribution when driving down the road.

You can see that the Jack points are near the axles. :)
