These are the link mounts that will be attached to the frame rails. The skid will bolt up to these and be removable, seperately, to get accesss to the trans, Atlas and other items tucked up underneath it.

Some update pics.
Got the link mounts tied into the rockers, so now its nice and smooth all the way underneath. Also a nice little step/bumper on the rockers.
Another skid shot. Smoooooooooth.

More build pics... Talk to the guys at Tanner4x4.com in CO and it should be sitting on all 4's tomorrow.
The LS should start getting some attention pretty soon as well.
Side view of about how it should sit.
Front
LS sitting pretty, and the RAM off-road LS motor mounts. Bad ***.
Different view of the fabbed up front tube fenders. These things are so clean!

Couple more of the raised and narrowed frame the LS is sitting in.
The tabs on the frame are temp. They will be gussted heavily.
Top shot of the main cage layout.
Finishing up the rocker/boat sides/skid
NExt for skids will be a trans/oil pan unit.
Pile O Kings...or King O piles...
Flaming River column and wheel
Rear axle trussed up, lower link mounts annd discs on.
Front axle getting trussed.
Pure beef.

Sitting on the rear suspension!!
Had to rework the cross bar behind the seats for more leg room. Here's the rear King bypasses and coils in place.

How is the front d-shift looking with the T-case clocked?
Man, that is some great fab work especially the attention to details like the caliper mount gussets and the overhead shot at the Expo.
I see some dimple die gussets going from the rear shock mount to the b-pilar, maybe an intergrated 5.25" speaker mount?
Awsome build keep it going and keep us updated!!!

The front driveshaft shouldnt have any issues witha angles or clearance. everything was fabbed up so it would all fit together, tight as it may be, it'll all fit and work very well.
There will be some dimple dies in the gussets of the cage work...I mean they add like 2.3HP each, right?? hahaha

I am real curious to know what the distance is between the engine mounts on your narrowed frame. I like those engine mounts but don't know if they would work on my chassis. Did you take any measurements before dropping the motor in?
