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

what does BL stand for again?

Body Lift, that thing I told you not to do yet ;)

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.

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. :D

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..

OllllllO Rubicon Rick

Thanks. That's what happens when I get bored and have steel laying around. As if you couldn't tell, what is left of the OE skid plate is on top of the new one in the top pic....it was bent up so bad that I couldn't keep the jeep in 1st/3rd/5th gear because the shift lever was hitting the console. I also bent the new one last weekend on H2H.
