    What transfer case mount is that? I might have to find one when I get my crawl box all done.

    It’s made by front range offroad for a first gen. Bolt pattern matches, but takes trimming to fit the space and I’m using a Barnes crossmember kit and some scrap 2”X 0.25” DOM to connect to the frame instead of the bushings since there’s no room and it’s pretty far from the frame.

    Thanks, I will look into it. I think with a crawl box it might not hurt to have some support back there.

    Im doing it to be able to remove the factory crossmember. I don’t know if people keep the factory trans mount if they do one of these. It may be counterintuitive and restrict the trans from being able to flex properly. Purely conjecture on my end, I just don’t know if the mounts would fight each other or not.

    True I'll just have to look into it when I get there. Thanks for the reply.

    I went with Artec for the trusses, but everything else pretty much will be Barnes. I went with RuffStuff on the rear, but Barnes was more economical for what I need. Just ordered their basic hydro mount, clevis/tie rod, and high steer stuff today.

    Knuckles reamed out and slowly getting the steering tacked on. Not thrilled with how low the Barnes universal mount is. May try to trim it flat and mount it higher up

    Nothing fun, just a bunch of welding. Half of it was welded upside down, the other half is ugly because I’m not a good welder :rofl:as I stare at it, I realize the transfer case skid section needs to be angled so it won’t get caught going in reverse. Will leave a smaller gap for the plug.

    Yeah. I’m not either, Fox :rofl:

    coilovers arrived. Waiting on another shipment of brackets and shock towers from Barnes and I’ll be able to cycle stuff and sit the front on the ground.
