Skidplate,lower link mounts, trans mount all in one.

[RockRanger]

My current setup s a mix and match that was never thought out and was never really finished. Here is what I currently have. If you look between the skid plate and the lower link mount you will see where I came down on something and bent the bottom of the frame up.

Here is a view from the front. The trans mount was a last minute "temp fix" that has been that way to long.

Here is my current thought. It replaces my lower link mounts then makes it flat all the way to the back of the transfercase. I have it designed all out of 3/16" plate. I have a few changes to make still. I need to do a few measurements but might be able to shorten it all 1" to get a bt more ground clearance.

looks good! So you'll build the skeleton and then skin it? What is the current height at the belly now?

The bottom of the frame is just over 24".

That looks great, but if you live somewhere they use salt you may want to add some drain holes. The skeleton as it was called earlier looks like it will trap an inch of mud/salt brine in each square.
