  • sorry... the tranfer skid plate. it bolts from the crossmember to
    the unibody. How do you bolt it to the unibody

  • drill? pics would be good, are you sure It doesnt use the crossmember bolts or a preexisting hole thats taped?

  • pretty sure that chuckwick has the Tomken t-case skid on his. but, pretty sure there are different skids for 96 and 97 models.

  • I'd have to see what your talkin about but I dont see why you couldnt start drillin, get It started the use a self tapping bolt to do the rest....

  • Today put it on. I drilled the holes in the unibody rail and drilled a hole in the side of the unibody rail just big enough to fit a small wrench in the hole to hold the bolt.
