There are tie-down points underneath the TR6 which are intended for
securing the vehicle when it is being carried on a truck, trailer, in a
ship's hold, etc. This is to avoid certain people (dopes) using vulnerable
parts of the suspension to secure the vehicle. I would not use these
points to lift the vehicle.
