I'd be interested in other forum members thoughts on the wording and diagram in the Manual for lifting the new Jimny. I have re-read it and it's ambiguous (to me) to say the least.

Sect. 7-1. How do you find it ambiguous, Bill?

Dependent on what type of jack is used, it seems clear enough to me, although I have not had a look at the supplied jack, nor the jacking points for its use, to see if there are any issues.
The jacking points for when a trolley jack is used are clearly there.

Steve - you a real gent posting those pics - suddenly it all becomes clearer. Appreciate you taking the time to take/share those images. Now I will feel more confident when the time comes to rotate all my wheels and ensure tyre wear evens out with the 4WD system.

That "jacking point" looks dual purpose as they state in some publicity material that they have strengthened the axles and that new bracket spans one of the joints that can crack

"Do not shift the transfer lever without depressing the accelerator pedal"

I would de-press the accelerator and depress the clutch ;)

the bigjimny wiki also says depress when it probably means de-press.
