Bash plates

Post by sideshow »

my mate is after a after market bash plate for a TJ that is more low profile does anyone know where he can get one? Also can you take out the spacers to lower the transfer case if you have a teraflex kit in it?

you can get awesome bash plates out of your own shed/garage.
Just make them yourself I would recommend. Not a very good market here for buying skids and armour, but they are relatively easy to make.

If I was him I would look at the following in order of importance: rocker protection, fuel tank skid, steering box brace/skid, oil pan skid, flat t-case.

As for the lowering of the transfer case we need more info please.

How tall is the teraflex lift?
Does he have a SYE kit installed in the transfer case?
Does he run a standard driveshaft or a CV style one?

Anything over a 2-2.5" lift requires the t-case to be dropped slightly.
If you have an SYE kit and CV style driveshaft you can run a flat skid and get it level with the framerails. You will also need adjustable control arms to tune your pinion angle and point the driveshaft at the t-case.

More info - and we can inform you....:)
