Just had to throw up the zorba bat signal. And you were doing so well.
I had to go for broke after Garrett stole my catalytic converter theft joke.
If you know how to use a tape measure, you can do all of that with the springs out.
Wow. The fab show in this thread has ramped up today. Keep it up. We are watching!
I need to look at the lights. I found one tool use for the 5.0 and that is the orbital sander as it fits without the need for the extension on the dust collector.
This is a slick mod! Do you put the brake in the aluminum for things to fit good, or is it to add strength to the skid?
Took a bit but I figured out another one. If your significant other wants to borrow the Hackzall with a pruning blade to trim the rose bushes, it does that pretty well.
You can't easily get the engine and trans high enough to get the 42RLE oil pan above the skid if it was flat all the way across. So, you compromise by having that area lower to get under the pan but raise the rest of it as much as possible. The benefit of a strength increase is just extra.
You are accurate. Mrs App uses the hackzall to cut up boxes and styrofoam to fit in our trash cans.
Does this also apply to the 32RH with 231 transfer case with a 1” motor mount lift ?
I see what looks to be several inches of flat inboard. The skid could be supported by angles on the inboard face of the frame rails too, no?
That looks to be at least 3/8 plate so I am not sure it would really need it.
OP
Woke up with vertigo today so no Jeep work for me 
Not sure what happens but about once ever year or two I get an inner ear equilibrium problem and it sends the room spinning if I move my head from neutral. Not fun

That's no fun. I get it sometimes too, it's a definite day killer.
Have you tried the half-somersault or Epley maneuver? Those can help get the "rocks" back in place.

OP
Only the Epley so far and that seems to help. My doctor buddy just told me to look up the Dix Hallpike maneuver and said that he’s had the most success with that. I’ll try the somersault too
in lew of .not in addition to.
abandon the underside of the frame rail altogether and mount a narrower skid inboard. the angles would/could mount to the inner frame rail for skid mounting and structural support. the top would be open . no longer need nutserts, be less material to manufacture and a couple less lb's too.
