Transfer chassis mount fixes and reinforcement

Post by MUD-PIGSIERRA »

I know this has been discussed in other threads and I have had a read, mainly about actually new mounts that go onto the actual transfer case. What have people done to fix the actual mounts on the chassis to stop them from bending. Has anyone cut them of and started over pics would be awesome...? I am currently running the Spidertrax mounts which are great but have obviously moved the weak spot to th chassis.

I have read this thread

This is what Im talking about fixing red circled area. I have ripped mine and a fix is in order

Quick update for those that may need the info for the future... :P

Have used 8mm plate 75mm wide 130mm long (50mm chassis width the rest used to make the distance out from the original holes measured from the original brackets). Cut the old bottom brackets that had cracked and broken of and replaced with new plate using the gusseting on the inside of the chassis for the support. WE added a bit of filling plate to get the extra hight to match up to the supports and new Spidertrax brackets which hopefully wont twist like factory ones....?

Heres some picks. As you will notice transfer case was pulled for this job

Its lifted 30mm, and rotated less than 10 degrees. Gave me more room for a muffler to be mounted above the bash gaurd.
