[MiniSimp]

Yeah, I saw that one on the Mini-Rubicon, did a double take. Not mine though.
I went to Kragen's and they only had the May/June.
Oh well.

[Wermz84]

I thought that was your rig too.  haha

[MiniSimp]

Well, this is how the crossmember turned out, I'm still going to add 2 more tubes further forward on the frame that tie in the center of the crossmember. The really crappy welds are mine.

Haven't put em in yet, just got them in Fedex.
Still have to pull my tranny, tcase, rebuild the tcase, seal it to the tranny, put in new motor mounts, install tranny/tcase & crossmember, install and adjust the new TPS, and buy a new shock.

But, I'll let you know as soon as I find out.

A buddy just got some mounts but I don't know if they are the same ones you have. One side went in perfect & the other side was off by 1/2". He found out that this is a common problem. He ended up drilling the mount. I haven't seen it nor do I know what side gave him the problem. I hope you don't have the same problem

Hey, I just saw your rig in Crawl under Average Joe, and I want to see your " knobs!"     And your picture of your tranny and transfer case's proves that you don't have the Trail Gear tranny eliminator kit!    Check it out!

Well is the tranny, transfer case and bell housing okay?

As far as I can see, yes.

I hope you don't have the same problem 

Probably will, I have yet to install something that fit "perfect" (besides my Marlin stuff)

I really need to get a copy of that.

[unclejpl4x4]

[Cheesemaker]

I think that jack came around the horn before the Panama Canal was built!

You must be missing all the attachments. I haven't used one of those since I quit the Truck delership in French Camp.
