How would you guys best recomend bolting the 205 to the frame? The only bolt holes are the 2 top 5/8" holes that i can see using. Any ideas? or pics?

I ended up making my own crossmember instead of modifying a stock one like they did, but the concept's the same. My t-cases are VERY close to the hump floorboard, but nothing hangs down beneath the framerails.
Good luck!

im also going to put a support on the 205 going to the x-member for additional strength.

...had a nice pic there...Oooo, I like the way you mount yours to the frame! Much easier to deal with than mine! :thumbsup: That front rail would never clear my front drive shaft, tho...

ya that front bar would not work w/ normal axles. i run hi-hi pinion axles though.
