I really like the skid plate design. are those just some sleeves you welded into the frame or are they pre-tapped inserts? Do they go all the way through?

Looking good overall, but I really don't like that trans mount. Is there going to be another mount or support on the t-case?

The bushings are fine, it seems like there will be a lot of leverage on the cast t-case adapter and those never break:awesomework:

I built the plate super rigid, as far as the adapter know's, it is directly above the skid plate mount. and as far as the skid plate mount know's the tranny is directly above it. I assure you it will be hell for strong, but no it is not done, when I build the engine skid, it will be supported directly below the tranny mount as well.
