R1S rear jack points - picture?

[usulio]

Does anyone have a picture of the rear jack points on the R1S, with the plastic panels off?

I've installed rock sliders, and the panels are no longer on. I see where the front jack points are, but for the rear ones, there does not appear to be any "hole" there. It seems silly, but I think I see exactly where the access was on the plastic panel and there's just no similar hole for a jack puck to insert into ... help appreciated!

I'm in the same boat with panels removed after sliders installed, but was told the vehicle can be lifted from the sliders. Can you just do that?

Whose sliders are you using? These are prototype GOAT Fabrication ones which is why they are so rusty, just rattle can painted and a lot of it has worn off. Factory lift point is this hole:

I've heard that certain brands might not leave this hole exposed but I don't have any first hand knowledge with any of them.

Depends on which sliders and how it’s designed. Some cover the factory jack points and expect you to jack from the sliders. Add a chunk of 2x4 or hockey puck between jack and slider.

Is that enough clearance for an aftermarket puck?

Thanks @Dark-Fx and others. Here’s what I’m looking at with the DCE rock sliders on an R1S (should have taken my photo first sorry). It’s rotated 90 degrees from your photo, this is the driver's side and down is the front of the car.

Looks to me like the rear jack point is indeed covered. It would be next to the TP55 bolt (big round one in the center of the photo).

I was planning to jack from the sliders anyway, but good to know in case of service appointments, Discount Tire, etc.

Oh, DCE just confirmed this in the other thread (which was the reason I was wondering).

> Just to clarify, the R1T sliders do not cover the holes. For the R1S the rear factory mounting point is covered by the rock slider, BUT the slider has a designated hole in the exact location as factory that will work with the pucks.​

That must be the small hole just south of the big round TP55 bolt in my picture.

If the puck is designed to slot into the panels, it should fit. I don't have a set to test and I think they might have moved it slightly after prototype. Supposed to pick up a production set on Friday.

Came across your thread and reached out to DCE directly. You're right about the OEM jackpoint location. I'm glad you asked the question because this is not immediately clear.

Here are their replies.

I circled the areas where the jack/lift pads should be placed for lifting the vehicle.

ME: However, where is the rear opening if one is to use jack pucks?

DCE: The small hole behind the rear jack point I circled
