every time i do any decent wheeling, the t-case skid gets all bent up.
the last trip to the Rubicon bent the cross member mount up so much that the whole t-case was off camber.
I am tired of replacing it from the junkyard so i decided to make one.

started by reinforcing the weak ass cross member mount.

Cut up some 3/8 diamond plate and grinded the angles

It looks good, but i wish the diamond part was up. Skid plate would slide better slick.

Kris, you'll have to paint the diamond parts (raised thingies) red! Come on, man!

Nice, jealous of bending things maybe. However, I'm playing around with Pearl, the new Turbo MM.

Love this icon: :smokin:
