The front cross member is mounted to the original bolt holes from the stock cross member. One of the front holes was stripped out so I re tapped all the holes to a 1/2 inch thread.The whole assembly wieghts in at a hundred pounds or so, but should survive a direct missile attack. Put it on the floor jack and it went right back in place.......
Sure happy with the way it fits and all the clearance I gained. Here you can see the cutout for the driveshaft and the mounts for the forward end of the skid plate.
It clears the transmission by about a half inch.....
Here's a close up of the mounting tabs for the rear cross member...
Next is the exhaust. There's no way any of it is gonna work. It looks like I will have to run the passenger side down pipe under the torque converter and then join up with the driver's side down pipe. I was hoping to fit the passenger pipe under the advance adaptor's coupler, over the front cross member. Just about a 1/4 inch shy of fitting and even if it would fit there it would probably rattle and cook the seals in the adaptor.
