So I decided to do long arm upgrade with a new cross member and additional t-case skid. I supported tranny and t-case with jack and started to take stock bolts out and broke one. I had to drill it out and fish a nut welded to a long rod through an access hole in the frame rail aft of the cross member just to reattach the stock skid. I know someone has had to of had this issue before. Mine's a 2000 and born and raised in the north with all the salt and road grim.
Basic question is how can I do the long arm/beefier cross member/t-case skid without totally destroying my frame trying to do so? I've thought about getting rail stiffeners and welding nuts to those and drilling out old nuts in stock rail to allow new ones to fit once stiffener is welded on, but is this really my only option. Can't be, unless my XJ just sucks more than most. Help would be awesome.
