np205 transfer case brace

Iceman83 · Oct 2, 2012

Just wondering does anyone make a reinforcement bracket or brace to support the weight of the t-case at the backend. Seems like a lot of weight to be held up by 6 bolts in a hard landing. Any info would be helpful thanks.

Wide open design makes one

we cut some "bolt rings" that captured the bottom 3-4 bolts on the rear output and rear cover on my buddy's LC, added another xmember and tied it to the trans xmember.

I drilled and tapped the case on the flat section on the side, then ran a brace to the frame that's mounted in a poly bushing. The stock adapter hasn't cracked yet.

Tmr customs makes some good mounts thats what some of us are running. They have 2 different styles one bolts to the rear of transfer and the other to the side where factory support brace went.

I did this plus made a plate to capture four rear tail housing upper bolts as well. My drivetrain is all solid mounted and I don't want that beitch going anywhere.

I like that. I wish someone would market a generic 205 ring similiar to that but completey round and clockable for any position. Some apps might need it to the side or from the top.
