james750 Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 i just can't figure out how to line mine up and mount it, it goes from cross member to frame and i just can't get anything to line up, I'm hoping that seeing some pics will help. thanks in advance james
DirtyComanche Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 I think there's a couple different types, just to let you know.
metrictonner Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 On my 1988 AMC factory install there are 2 bolts on the crossmember and 1 on the frame (even though there are 2 bolt holes in the skid plate there is only 1 in the frame). Chrysler was doing this by 1990 so it may be different but if you are trying to align 4 bold holes and can only find 3 this may be the problem.
metrictonner Posted June 1, 2008 Posted June 1, 2008 Well, well, well. I guess I can. Here are the images that go with my previous post. Sorry for the untidy appearance of the undercarrage, but you know, it is a 20 year old mud dauber. :brows:
james750 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 thanks metric. that pic and the info is exactly what i needed. :wavey:
james750 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Posted June 2, 2008 Pete, i was thinking of a design very similar to that and liked it b/c I would get protection of both that and the cat. Unfortunately mine has a tc drop on it and that wouldnt give me enough clearance unless i were to put spacers in between it and the frame rail, hmmm.
Pete M Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Well, between the TJ drivetrain and the custom crossmember, mine essentially has a t-case rise on it so the whole thing is flush with the bottom of the frame. But anything is possible. :D You could always get rid of the t-case drop. :brows:
