  • TC Skid

    Time to give serious thought to doing the "belly up" skid on my TJ. Is any of these better than the other? I have decided I will do a BL + MML with the skid so I can not see the need to spend the cash on the Nth Degree one.

    Comments/Suggestions

    Thanks

        I couldn't find any I liked, so I bought a 24 x 48" piece of 1/4" plate, some 2 x 4 x 3/16 square tube I had in the garage, and went to town. I gained 2.25" over the stock plate without moving my drivetrain, and re-using the stock t'case mount. I could have redesigned the mount and gained another 1/2" or so, but it was more work than 1/2" justified.

        Price is soon forgotton, quality is not.

                  yeah but you'll need a bit of body lift to get everything "flat", and you might as well forgo the pucks on the 6 side frame mounts and fab some new mounts higher up.

                              You mean like this?.......

                              Being that I am bad @ posting, see my gallery if these pictures didn't turn out.

                              Nth Degree "Tummy Tucker" for Rubicon NV-241OR "Rock-Track" Transfer case, 1" DayStar 1 piece Poly Body Lift & 1" DayStar Poly Motor Mounts. Back motor mounts are Nth Degree. 10 Bolts, 8 crush sleeves & this isn't even the totally flat version. There's a slight drop to it with a cutout for the larger size transfer case. If I had the NV-231J or a Tera-Low, it would have been totally flat with the TJLA subframe brackets. It's 1/2" thick @ the frame rails..
