yes....right at the frame....it attaches the axle to the frame.  Was really wanting to make a jack point by some metal fab and welding or bolting...on the list.  But really, the bottle jack works great.

Thanks.  Would that "perch" be directly behind the center of the wheel?

Leo,

Hmm, thanks again, but it looks as though you have taken a photo from some kind of manual-- I see what looks like some printed instructions in the picture.

What did you take a picture of?  Maybe I can find that.

And again, I know what you mean about lack of computer skills, so I apprecite your efforts.

It is tipped to one side The red arrow shows where to place the jack. ( not to computer savy) It is a photo of where to place the jack to safely jack up your pod.

I tested my TV-Ford Expedition scissors jack on my Pod in the driveway.  I am happy with that so I see no need for an additional jack for the Pod.
