I added the product listing for the UCF Dana 44 Rear Truss System and the UCF Dana 60 Rear Truss System to the website. Prices are listed there. Pics to follow.

Thanks, unfortunately I'm probably not going to be able to order until next week, depends on how work goes for me the next few days. Had some issues yesterday that required some more money to be thrown at the axle, that should have went to this truss, and I still didn't get anything accomplished on it.

Have you considered making cherokee skids? I know those could be really popular!

**undercoverfab** · 03-09-2010, 09:00 PM

I'm all caught up with the orders for the first time in over a month. If you've got an order in with UCF it's on the way! Thanks to everyone on JF for supporting Under Cover Fabworks!

Hey Matt, very nice looking products. I will be getting the engine and (no body lift) transfer case skids from you for sure. Eventually anyway as soon as I can get the funds saved up.

But I was wondering if you could weigh both the alum and steel to help me decide which way to go. My jeep is a 4 cyl. so I'm thinking the weight saving alum. would be my preferred route.

The aluminum transfer case skids are 26-27lbs. The same skid in 3/16" steel plate is 60-61lbs. 1/4" plate is 77-78lbs.

The aluminum engine skids are 16lbs while the 1/4" steel engine skid is 38lbs.

You can save 73lbs by using aluminum on those 2 skids alone.

I got a rendering up on the website for you.

There may be some rocker guards coming out in the near future. Still considering it.

Rocker guards are my next purchase, I like the formed type like hansen has rather than tube FYI.

I know what you mean...

I was doing some work in the backyard this afternoon with my LJ and a utility trailer. I never put it in 4wd, but somehow managed to spit out a front axle shaft u-joint cap. I was driving straight forward at a very slow speed.

So, I just ordered a set of Alloy USA chromoly shafts a few minutes ago.

05RedRME · 03-11-2010, 03:22 PM

Nice, I gotta get axle shafts as well. On the engine skid, which strut goes which side? Being they are 2 different lengths.
