Asfir Skidplates |

Transfer Case/Transmission |
|
They wanted to know whether
or not the skidplate which was designed for a V6-engine JK with automatik
transmission would fit on a Diesel 5-speed. They mounted the brackets and
we held the plate in place. It would fit but needed minor adjustments. |
|
The holes for the cross member
spacer were too far in the front and the provided cross member bar would
sit too farup front as well and would not fit. So the angle had to be cut
(white line is original outline). |
|
The holes for the cross member
spacer had to be redrilled too.They opted for bigger holes for adjustment
and used oversized washers. |
|
Then the skidplate could be
installed. Since the skidplate was hanging too low anyway we only used the
cross member spacer without the additional 3/4" thick cross member
plate. We couldn't figure out its use anyhow. |
|
As shown clearly here, the plate
hangs way too low, stealing about two inches of valuable clearance. The
plate should be mounted without spacer directly on the transmission cross
member and should have a bent to provide space for the exhaust pipe. This
way it could be tucked nicely under the truck. |
