Best jacking points gc8
Guys I want to do my brakes on my gc8 but scared of jacking her up in the sills. Done it once before and don’t want to do it again.
where are the safest front and rear jacking points to put the jack on?
dont mind resting the sills on axle stands once up but don’t want to raise her on them if that makes sense
thanks all

I just put cardboard folded up onto my jack and then use the sills.. I've put it on 4 axle stands many times.
If you're scared of using the sills maybe they need to be welded? People please correct me if im wrong but arent the sill cut outs there to be jacked? So surely the question is why are you scared of using the sills..? Again if im wrong please let me know as its my current method!
