    Yessir, just had to loosen my crossmember bolts and the bolts that attached the trans/IFS. Got the middle IFS bolts to bite just enough to bring it up. Looks real solid, thanks @Mobtown Offroad for the quick reply and great product.

    And I highly recommend the brew, brought some back from my snowboarding trip in CO

    This. Get every thread started, shift things around with the BFH, then torque everything down.

    I found a jack under the engine skid helped line everything up prior to tightening.

    Hey @Mobtown Offroad I wound up scooping one of your group buy transfer case skids from a member that couldn't use his due to other priorities. Quick quick question. Have you heard or need to massage the inside of the frame to get the cross member to fit? My frame seems a touch narrow towards the rear of the truck. That little flap that folds in is protruding just a smidgen on the inside of the stock frame. Thinking 5lb bfh

    I think Joe is updateing them then,

    Remove the OEM skid plates. Save the big silver bolts and the black smaller bolts, then you have to remove the front frame supports and remove the side/rear frame supports near the transmission.

    The Transmission skid is lifted into place first then the transfer case and secured together and then you mount the IFS skid.

    Its simple but involved, I would wait for instructions.

    The transmissions skid and transfer case skid mount to the 4 long bolts running through the transmission crossmember, you need to remove 1 bolt at a time and replace wiht a new bolt before removing the next bolt.

    If I was home I could email them to you because I downloaded them to my desktop

    I see, well If anyone has the old instructions that would've been great. I only got few hours before going north back home. So hopefully can install them today.

    Updated the new "Instructions" Page on our website. I'm not sure the skid plate instructions that I posted have all the updates that @Mobtown Offroad added yet.

    The instructions are updated, I was waiting until we updated the website to make them easier to find. I was going to take care of it when I got home from the shop tonight. But I see you already did that, thank you.
