I want to put the Puma up on to four axle stands. Is it o.k. to put the stands under the axles? 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

Yes, although I'm not sure I'd do both ends at once. It's one of those thing that would probably be ok, but has the potential to go horribly wrong. Darren

More than safe.... just make sure they are the correct weight rating and that the ground is level and all 4 corners are set to the same height Thumbs Up

If possible, I also lay the wheels under the vehicle for some extra protection.

Just finished painting the chassis and nether regions of the Puma. Axle stands a great benefit. Jacking up the vehicle 4 times to fit the stands in place and remove four wheels is pretty draining stuff. Having finished the painting then having to fit four wheels then jack up the vehicle with the bottle jack to remove the stands really does take it out of you. Next purchase will be that trolley jack from Halfords mentioned on one of the threads here.
The 2008 Puma is up next but not till the trolley jack arrives! 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
