Okay... again... sorry for missing your post on the other thread... between my office computer and home computer I overlooked something there somehow...
Anyway, if you still need assistance or advice on anything you are welcome to PM me... home "proper" is in Ocean Park (White Rock-ish).
Now... I looked under my Deli to see about protecting the transfer case and...
... there's a lot going on under there! High centering would reveal the tranny pan AND transfer case are very vulnerable. Both fuel tanks have some protection, tho I wouldn't want to test the strength of those (unless someone already has). Rear driveshaft is soooo short it wouldn't require a hoop. A good "stuffing" into the ground of the front shaft could really do some nice work on the transfer case and mounts, etc. but thankfully it is protected from doing so by the cross frame engine mount tube at the rear of the engine.Sooo... a nice strong skid plate covering transmission and transfer case with access holes for drains seems to be in order. I think something strong enough to withstand "some weight" if driving or being pulled off a high center situation....
Have to look harder to see about mounting opportunities rearward but there are 2 bolts on the cross frame tube that would be helpful perhaps.
Time to break out the cardboard template making equipment! Are you in this neck of the woods David?
