    Looking good so far!! I like how you added those braces to hit the crossmember where the stock skid is also braced... should add a lot of strength!

    Thanks. Yea that's what I'm hoping. I never have cared for the skids that leave those off like the bud builts. I feel like that is an easy crush point that needs the extra bracing.

    I can't get the bell housing off of the block. Is there a hidden bolt on the driver side i am un able to find? My Headers go right there and I can't feel a bolt head. I took everything off I could find including the starter bolts.

    There's most likely on at the very top you can not see. Stand back and see if you can see one up there. Use a mirror if you have one. Is it an auto or manual?

    Make sure the ones at the top are out. If they are move it around should come free. Are you on a lift or on stands?

    There should be six bolts on the bell housing not including the 2 starter bolts. Four of them you can see, the top two you can only feel and it is not easy to get your hand in there. The only way to get them loose is to take the shifters out of the transmission and t-case and then use a bunch of extensions to go through the shifter hole in the cab all the way to the bolts.
