Motor is in. Tried to get the AX15 in place (formerly had the BA-10) but found out I need a transmission mounting plate between the transmission and belly plate, apparently they are made out of some type of unobtianium...any ideas?
I wish it were that easy, I have a mount, its the bracket I need. Here is one from deadjeep parts, $200 is a bit steep for a 1/4 lb chunk of steel. 91-95 Wrangler YJ AX15 Transmission Mounting Bracket1987-1995 Wrangler (YJ) Transmission Mounts | Quadratec

If you still have that out could you make a couple of measurements for me? All I think I really need is the distance from the rear bolt holes for the transmission and the holes for the mount itself, and the amount of drop from one surface to the other. other than that I would just have to center the mount.This is off my '93 and AX-15. It's just a bent metal bracket with 6 holes in it. In your shoes I'd just make one. (It's pictured upside down, trans side on the floor.)

Delete it. Make a straight-tube crossmember and higher mounted accessory skid plate.made out of some type of unobtianium...any ideas
Note there is a slight angle, the two flat surfaces are not parallel. I doubt is matters much. The 5.25" measurement is between hole centers. The stock appears to be 1/4"with an extra 1/8 or so thickness added to the trans face (top of the 1" arrow).If you still have that out could you make a couple of measurements for me?
Thanks so much! That will help a bunch. I was looking on Ebay and the TJ bracket is similar and can be had for a little over 40, a bit of cutting and welding and I'll be fixed up.Note there is a slight angle, the two flat surfaces are not parallel.

You have an awesome backdropMight have been overkill but the body is back on the frame, and nobody blew their back out.

I’m jealous. I just heard we can expect 12”+ of snow here in the next couple days. Tops and doors will be staying on.It's hard top and hard doors off day! No doors or roof for until Nov! I do use a bikini for the NM summer sun. Back on the road after the big clutch project, now naked too, let the summer dirt games begin!!
