Bit of an update. Picked up a t-case crossmember off craigslist. I think beef is an understatement, the main portion is 1/2" and it has a mini skid that goes underneath where the t-cases mount. Also bolts with through the frame. Very solid to say the least. Here's some pics I stole off craigslist.









So I got it fitted up and tried to install it, which led to this...



The truck it came out of had a 2" body lift which is why I had to cut up the floor. The top of the front output is still hitting the floorboard, so there is still trimming to do. Sheet metal work shouldn't be too bad. Also had to move the frame mounts a bit since it came off a 3rd gen.


Anybody have any suggestions on stiffening up the holes in the through the frame? Was thinking about running some tubes through the frame, but I don't know if I want to go through with it haha.
