jage Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ok, on the skyjacker install the subframe has two tabs on each side that hold this: It's 2" square. The problem is the section marked off in yellow (above) would go straight through the yellowish part (below) of the Tcase here: Any brilliantly easy ideas on what I should do? ... um... besides cutting the corner off the Tcase...

BrettM Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 yup, it's not designed for an Atlas case which is much shorter. Modify the crossmember so that it goes around the t-case, either in front, behind, or under. Or better yet, clock the Atlas up higher (will likely require cutting the floorboard open) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah, just make that atlas flat. Sledgehammer the floor a bit and see how close it is. If it is closeish, just run it and it'll fix itself (self-clearance is the term). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 My t-case is about a half inch from the body and I've never had it make contact to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jage Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Actually the atlas sits against the floor completely. It's clocked to match the floor and with the stock crossmember (which I had to shave 1.5" or so to fit) it is snugged right against the floor. I thought it would be run cooler further away and put drop spacers in to get some clearance - ripped my tranny mount in half. So I took out the spacers and put it back against the floor and that's where it's going on the MJ too. The problem is the new crossmember is only 2" wide so If I cut 1.5" out to clear the tcase there won't be much left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Then make it wider... You've got 1/2" of vertical to work with, a peice of 10x.500 flat bar would be strong enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.p ... post844691 something like that perhaps, without all the link mounts and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
