[QUOTE="clemsonjeep, post: 495135, member: 6317"] I'm obviously no expert in rigs with any more than 100hp...lol, but I'd have to say that the driveshaft beating around under the rig didn't break the trans case. It's gonna take some pretty significant force to make that happen. The motor mounts failing you would be where I'd put my money. I don't think I'd solid mount the drivetrain, but I'd definitely look at building some new mounts that use the leaf spring style poly bushings. Then use the same style bushings throughout the drivetrain. One thing I'm still not clear on...is that atlas mount tied into the skid or is there a crossmember that runs between the frame rails with poly mounts at each end that it is attached to separate of the skid? I'd make it separate of the skid. I'd also put a crossmember between the rails at the transmission and use poly mounts at each end and fab up a mount at the transmission. [/QUOTE]
