At the front, it interfaces at the central jacking point, with an M12 bolt going through the hole in that rectangular steel pad. No way this would slip off.
The 4x4 is a piece of 4x4. The plastic looking thing is a very hard structural scrap of plastic I happened to have. Maybe Delrin or similar. Hard, easy to cut/machine.

I really like that! I have adopted the 2x12 between the rear diff and jack strategy myself (staying way clear of the rear cover of course) and, seeing your cool invention, am on the hunt for something to craft my front jack "adapter" out of now. I had been using a piece of a 6x6 machined to fit entirely around the front center jack point but I like yours better!
