Default Alternative jack location ideas?

The factory location for the cargo van model is not ideal for my moto van setup. Curious where others have relocated their jacks.

Thanks

I don't have a problem with where mine is but other vehicles I have owned had the jack under the hood. There is a fair bit of room under there and it's a little more protected from the elements than just strapped to the frame. It likely won't work well if it's rusted.

I would look at putting it under a front seat.

I carry a small 12-inch piece of 2 X4 lumber in both my vehicles. I don't like the stock jack for a flat tire so use a small hydralic jack. It takes too long to jack it up, and the wood helps to keep from bending the vehicle's underside. I am not a body and paint man at all.
