Pictures showing front jack spot and rear jack spot

Hi guys, I read through the forum but im just not able to spot the front jack point! here's a blown up pic of my underside: http://pastehere.com/?maypkq

Can someone possibly circle it and reupload the pic? THANKS

P.S. I'm using a floor jack as you can see way on the right of the pic.. I just slid it underneath, its not actually lifting the car up as the pic may be deceiving.

Yes, on the crossmember. That piece of steel that looks like you've bottomed out a million times

I'm sorry man I spaced out. I'm still half asleep in bed right now. That the piece that you pointed the arrow to is correct. Not that bar I was talking about

Yeah the rear jack point is just right on the differential. Not too difficult

the front jack point you have right. the rear you can jack up there, just don't put unnecessary force on the control link rod. the correct place to put it is here
