So I opted for the the "Complete Skid System" in black powder coated steel from
River Raider Off-road. This is a stout system, and each box is heavy enough to make Brown Santa really dislike your address:
Here are the three components laid out, if a bit out of order (transfer case is in the foreground, transmission/oil pan is in the middle, with gas tank in the back):
Hardware comes well labeled and individually bagged (And believe me, I was looking for the crate with my HEMI in it!):
RROR brands their product, although it is overall subtle:
Finally, I am also installing a Fumoto valve in place of my drain plug to facilitate oil changes through the access hole in the skid. These really are slick, and I suggest a bit of research if you're looking at this or any similar set of skids:
So the install is underway. Didn't get to work on it near enough this weekend, so I'm not done as soon as planned. I'm about three hours worked into it, and most of that was spent fighting with and ultimately wrangling the transmission/oil pan skid onto the motor mounts. I ended up making a call to RROR today for tech support (THEY ROCK!), and once I had that, managed to get it up in about an hour tonight. This also included drilling a 1/2" hole in my 'new' JKUR, so that took a bit of mental prep, but the next one should be easier. I also did some prep work for the next two pieces, so the install of these should go faster in the next evening or two. I promise pics of the finished product!
