Ray is going to flash some paint on the skid tomorrow morning , then it will be done |

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem

What do those skids run? Does it raise the driveline 2 1/2inches or just flatten the skid? ;D Jeep looks great.  |

Just got it back here to the house. The belly pan looks even better in person. It's beefy, and slides over stuff now  The belly pan tucks the driveline up with the BL and MML, but I had it up to around 130 and there are no major vibes from the driveline (a little harmonic vibration around 120 or so that comes and goes, but nothing major). The MML is just two spacers that Scottie made up. Overall I'm really pleased with how it looks, it has some extra room in the wheel wells now (but I need some disconnects to stuff the front tires now ). If anyone is going to be in the area and is interested in checking it out, shoot me a message. Now I just gotta get wheelin and put it to the test ;D James |

What was done to James Rubi was as follows 1.25 in body lift 1 in motor mount lift Custom made cross member / skid , that raises the pan 2-2.5 inches I have a templete now made of James's crossmember , so when ever anyone comes into get this done , it can now be pre made , and installed in a normal day . Or if you want to do this yourself , kits could be ready , complete with all you need All inquires should be directed to CVO @ 468-5082 I am only going to be working there for 1-2 more weeks , so if anyone wants me to do these , they should do it soon ( not that anyone else couldn't do it from CVO ) Shameless advertising done  |

The mml adds room for the trannie to move up , as well as keeping the trannie in a stockish angle
