It’s how the 3.0 is done, there’s a thread somewhere on here about it..
A couple of guys then dropped the bottom to check for build up and found it completely clears the sump.

The crossmember you refer to is front point pictured?
To easy to slip off I reckon!
If you’ve chocked the wheels you shouldn’t have that issue. Jacking one wheel however different story! I have a chassis adapter for my bottle jack.Quote:

Lol. Well in 25 years of lifting every vehicle under the sun I’ve never had a vehicle slip off a trolley jack, and that includes jacking on all sorts of surfaces in the middle of nowhere. It won’t hurt what you’ve done by any means, but whether it’s necessary is a different point. All about your level of risk acceptance
So most agree that a central jacking point may be necessary, enabling the use of stands on the chassis rails so the belly cover can be removed...
Eliminating the risk of the jack slipping off the crossmember is insignificant!
I jacked the D4 crossmember 600mm off the deck which may come in handy in future.[bigsmile]
I wasn’t criticising, you have done a great job. I just wanted others to see you can jack there without a special tool. Your option is the best way.
Hey! Nothing wrong with doing it [emoji41] it’s good to know!
Just pointing out if my bulk can fit without jacking it up then anyone can [emoji13]
I’ve changed the fuel tank guard, fitted belly armour and installed a LR tank all using just the suspension...
I didnt take as criticism.Quote:

I did try a long coach bolt thru the wood block that went into the hole which seems to work too.
The adapter cost me $80 and I intend to keep this car for a longtime.
I wish my jack could do that height effectively. My 2T low entry jack complains bitterly, which theoretically it shouldn’t. Most lift values are BS I accept.
Great for race cars however [emoji6]
