Jack points

Good thread folks - please help clarify a few points. For reference, I have a 2009 Yaris hatchback w/no modifications & standard tires.

I purchased a scissor jack (15" fully extended) since the OEM one seems flimsy.

The front Jack point shown in the manual & in this thread is unreachable & I dont see how anyone can reach it esp on a freeway with a flat. The rear jack point I could not even clear the tires off the ground at full 15" extension.

I'd like to try the side rails everyone is speaking of (for service & even flat tire repair). Can someone take a photo or show in diagram approximate location. The seams folks are speaking about seem very flimsy & I'm concerned are not strong enough (I have a hockey puck ready to go).

I've found alternate frame locations, but am concerned they may not be strong enough.

Has anyone tried the OEM jack on the rear & do their tires clear the floor?
