ive been tinkering with my old Honda CRV for years here in the Midwest always looking for reliable jack points. I found using the frame rails worked best but man I had to make some serious adjustments to get it right. hope this helps someone out there.
Ive always struggled finding good jack points on my 2004 CRV in my garage in Michigan.
One time I used the rear axle which worked but felt sketchy
Now I just try to stick with the factory spots when possible.
