Reinforce Jack points?

Try this...Take a hockey puck, and on a table saw, and cut a grove down the middle.. works great!..

I use it for the jack and also with jack stands.. For the jack stand, you will need the flat top style, not axle stands..

I have considered welding in some reinforcement along the rail or maybe getting rubber pads for the jack, but if its just me then maybe I'll take it to the dealer and complain. I know cheap car, cheap materials but just throwing it out there...

Great idea with the puck. Leave it to a Canuck!
Off to my basement to dig one out...

about those central jack points... i may be mistaken but i don't think my 07 has the rear point. on the front one i can't get the floor jack under my lowered car to access that point, unless i first drive up on a board or something.

I am going to buy a new floor jack, as my current one won't fit under my Yaris either. I have problems at both ends of the spectrum - The yaris is too low and My Xterra needs two chunks of 4x4 to get it off the ground. I am looking at an Arcan one that will go from 3 1/2" to 21 3/8", which would work for both of my vehicles.
