The point for the original vehicle jack is marked on the seam below the cills, just behind the wheels.
Only use the Bongo jack here as the weight is taken on a sturdy bit inboard of the marks, (two notches) and not on the seam or outer cill. Position is shown in the handbook.
Obviously use axle stands on something good and solid.
Saying that I guess you could cut a slot in a bit of wood to position a trolley jack in the same place, just make sure the weight is taken inboard of the marks, and the wood is meaty enough.
