So my last trip out I tore the transfercase crossmember/mounts apart so I now want to upgrade. I know there is the mighty kong xmember but at $580 from superior they are a bit to expensive. Just wondering what other people have done?

Yeah I am thinking of making one. I actually tore the twin mounts on the drivers side. Am thinking something like yours alex but I have got a roctoy ring already. How did you mount yours to the chassis rail? My other problem is I don't have access to metal fab equipment only a welder and grinder.

im guessing you mean on the passengers side? that was the easy bit i made a lil plate up with some gussets on it and welded to the other mount on the chassis. all we used was a grinder and a welder
