This might not even be an issue, but will my transfer case drop cause trouble when I try to mount a skid row engine skid? I figure some of the angles may have gotten screwy. The three mounts are:
- Driver's side motor mount
- Passenger side LCA
- da shovel
anyone done this? issues? fixes?

I would think it would fit ok... maybe not as smoothly as without the tcase drop... They typically make these skids with a good amount of freedom to move/wiggle around during installation, since no two jeeps are the same anyway.
Take a look at the jeep medic fabrication skid instead. It does not attach to the control arm mount, so it would give you more flexibility in fitting.

I installed the 3" tera lift, Skidrow engin skid and T-case drop, (temporary I hope) with no problem. Runs good, no vibes but I don't like the DS angle. Will probably go CV shaft eventually.

I'm in the same boat as MAX, You should have no problem with the skid, I'll be doing mine this weekend, as long as the bracket comes in for the transfer case linkage. Make sure, REAL SURE, that 4LO works WELL and doesn't pop out B4 you install the skid or it will make getting at the linkage impossible w/o removing the skid.

Originally I had that same set up on my old TJ.
No problems.
Then I went with a SYE, DS, and a belly up and no problems with
the skid row there either.

I Installed the Skid Row Engine skid today along with the Bracket to re-align the shifter linkage for the transfer case. The Bracket that Tera-flex now has available for $13.00 only helps out with the binding that occurs with the linkage. The problem I had was the lower rod shown here,was about 3/8" to short...  New Bracket (w/ green bushing)  what I did to fix was re-drill the mount on the body and move it to the rear about 3/4". Then I had to adjust the set screw on the top rod that attaches to the shifter handle.  Fumoto Valve w/o nipple lines up perfect...   |
