Default Front lift point?

This may sound dumb but how do you jack the front of the XB up, Is there a hidden lift point that you have to take the bumper off to see. :? I went to lift it up to do an oil change and was like where is it?

Any help would be appreciated (pics as well).

I thought the lift point was right behind the front tires? At least, that's where I jacked it up when my tire sprang a leak from a nail.........

2min0to60---I might be slow but at least I like to think I look good doing so.

Can't you put a jack in the center of the front axle and lift the whole front end?

It would be hard to get a floor jack that far under from the front and still be able to use it i would think without taking a look (i'll give it a try later). I was kinda looking for something a little closer to the front of the car like my honda (right behind the front bumper) It will lift one way or another its just a matter of how complicated it has to be.

Yea... I know what you mean... I couldnt find a front jack point on my xB when I was doing my spring install and instead i had to go borrow my friends super low jack and do it corner by corner. Nothing in the front end of the xB looks "jack friendly." I dont want to damage anything since so much stuff on the car could possibly break easily. Anyway... if any Toyota techs read this thread could you tell us if the side jack points right next to the tires are the only safe jack points? Thanks

In your owners manuel there is a picture of the front and rear jack point for the vehicle. It is after the jack points for the side when you have a flat tire.
