Yeah, get the jack pad. Just jacking up my then-new GTI once without a pad was enough to mess up the pinch weld.I’m sure a grooved hockey puck would work fine, but I wouldn’t bother. Twenty bucks on amazon for that other one seems reasonable.
Hmm, I guess I had to see that one coming, eh?FWIW, Toyota went ahead and replaced a bunch of frames on trucks that were long out of warranty.
