I've been thinking about that also. Looks like Duff does the extender plate thing but I can't tell if they use round or square tube for there cross member. Just though I'd check see if anyone was running a C-5 with the Skyjacker long radius arms and crossmember and see what they did. It's a long way...

I tried that and it looks like the weight of the tranny is pushing down and twisting the round tube Skyjacker crossmember. Next attempt would be to try to gusset the flat plate. I tried to call Skyjacker and all circuts were busy down that way. Guess they have worse problems down there than I do. So...

Skyjacker Question

I have an 88 BII that was 2wd and I'm converting it to 4wd. I pulled the A4LD and put a C-5 in. I have the Skyjacker 6" lift with extended radius arms and the Skyjacker cross member/tranny support. Problem is the location of the tranny mount on the C-5 is 3.5 inches forward of the where the Sky...

Well since the Heep Wrangler and CJ rear bumper mount to a flat surface brackets could be cut and bolted in. The scrap metal place around me will even cut the metal for you. Just really need a drill motor and tape measure and some bolts. But they changed the mounting holes a bit. So to refrase, my q...

How difficult would it be to make brackets to use a Heep bumper/carrier? I see those used on e-bay low $$$'s. Or at least a lot lower than a Duff bumper/carrier.

Seems those folks really do want to make America like the old movie Ryan's Run. In that movie people were confined to a big globe and not let outside. It was a future where people were killed when they hit 35 years old to keep population down. These groups really do beleive that the Earth comes firs...

And have been asked about the possibility of Hotel Rock after. Elephant Hill would be nice also. I have the info on Halls Cr...

Helen Hunt has been a spokes person for the anti SUV front for years. Just do a search and I'm sure you will find other groups. "I found Friends of the Earth" and "The anti SUV Portal". Just shows that folks think that SUV's (and those who drive them) are bad and will do anything...
