Just finished up installing a 4SP in my TJ with a flat skid and only a 1" body lift!

Will post more up later!

So how big of a hole did you have to cut? haha.

LOL I only had to cut a 1x8" strip to allow the floor to bed more!

Its later now. Wheres the more? Want to see the trans mount, Atlas mount, cutting and the skid.

Got any other pics other than the shifter?

Here is the rest!

Do you have pics on how the shifters were mounted? I am planning on this exact install (Atlas with flat belly skid, 1" body ect.) and the guy is concerned about cutting up the console on his TJ.

Be prepared to hammer the shit out of you tub! The smart!!! guys at Atlas never thought about a 7 degree clocking (13 is stock) and a flat skid. So other than hammering you have to space the shift bucket up 1/2" to clear the shift rails. I love the levers but I wish I went with the stock shifters to make things easer as it was a pain to make it all fit and look OE. Not to stop you but beware, its very sweet when done!

looks like you 10 lbs of shit in 5lb sock there....pretty tight....:flipoff2:

What the hell is your skid made out of? 1/2 in aluminum?

3/4" 6061 tool grade, got to love buddies in the metal business!

use the Atlas JK shifter box and mount it on top of the floor (weld up the stock shift hole in the floor or make a cover)
Notch the top of the JK box and it fits under factory center console.
go forward of the box about 5-6" and drill 5/8" hole to slide the cables through and you wont have that clearance issue on the top of the atlas.

The TJ box was designed for most applications including "belly-ups" like RE & FT (not so much a flat skid like yours)
The JK box with a few mods will work a bit better.

Nice BTW! :grinpimp:

Dam, oh well live and learn, if it wasn’t a challenge then it would be no fun!!!!

Update, first trip out broke in the 4SP and shifts very nice now but the T-case flexes and hits the shift bucket under power so I have to space it up with a few washers to solve that problem but other than that it works fantastic.
