Im out here in the middle of nowhere without my manual and the nearest service-tow is like 4hrs out. Ive been placing the jack everywhere under the front side and nothing gets it high enough to put the new inflated wheel in. Not to mention that this OEM jack is a piece oh s***.

Try under the chassis frame just behind front wheel where it turns in, or the lower arm as suggested above (I use my trolley jack there, but dont expect a slot or anything to fit the useless factory jack.
If all else fails and you really cannot find something/anything to pack under or over the jack to give you sufficient lift you could as a last resort wind the jack up as far as it will go then dig a bloody hole under the wheel and let the thing droop until it hangs. There's always a way.
I haven't a clue still how to do it. Im sitting here with the manual and the points where the jack is supposed to go just don't lift the car high enough. (Im not even mentioning that the piece o sh!t steel handle that youre supposed to crank it up completely failed under the the third attempt and had to be hammered into shape.) I finally used a jack borrowed from a subaru to jack it up about a foot and then put a large squarish stone beneath the land cruiser jack. When I finally jacked it up with the jack on the stone I could get enough clearance. Needless to say that I did not pack up the jack when I left. Threw that POS in the trash.
Car was on level ground.
I put the jack on the locations mention on the jack, then on the closest frame point to the ground, and then to the joint that the lower control arm connects to. None of these worked.
