Doesn't look safe to me... seems like it could tip left or right and slip off the jack pad.

Not my car.

What do you think?....i think rangeproducts.com has less respect for the p-car, than for their jack. :o

Other than the height and lack of jack stands, I have seen somewhere on this site that suggested the cross member is a good jack point alternative to the engine, assuming you have a jack low enough to reach it.

For the most part it appears they are just showcasing how far under it reaches (which is impressive) and a typical capacity. They (Bendpak) are very safety conscious and would never sugget working on a car like this. It appears more than sufficient in height to get jack stands under the normal jack points. The lifting point shown does appear to be the cross member to me, which I would think is a better jacking point than the engine, which puts the entire weight of the car on the engine mounts, instead of just the engine. I haven't studied the cross member design to determine if it cna support that weight. Most can, though.
