Title: Extreme Metal Products
Post by: Krawler00 on April 16, 2008, 03:31:26 PM: https://rs325.securehostserver.com/~extremem/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=23&products_id=97&osCsid=e6072b5807317360d28262c71caca006

Anybody heard of these guys before? I have been looking at this one for my belly up. Granted it is just an inch but at 1/4" thick I know I will never need another. Price is good too.

I plan on getting the advanced adapters shift linkage bracket and hopefully that will be all I need. Chris, this may be my best bet yet. Love the 33 engineering setup but out the door it was $416! I can get this and my front upper adjustable control arms for a little more.

Transfer case linkage bracket. You don't need an SYE like regular TJs. Rubicon T-cases already have a fixed rear output shaft. Depending on how high you move the transfer case up, you may need a new rear driveshaft. Which kinda sucks cause you just installed a new Woody right? I don't think 2 or 3 inches would hurt you though.

His might use bigger U-joints I believe. But you can easily fix that with a bigger yoke when you buy an sye and an adapter at the rear end. It might just be the axle U-joints that are bigger on the Rubis.

Post by: Krawler00 on April 18, 2008, 01:48:14 PM: Chris, I sent an email over to the guys selling that red skid about the disclaimer saying you need to buy the trans mount and the trans shifter bracket. He said the OE trans mount is replaced and the bracket was for the linkage... ok, no problem. So he also says it will need the lowering kit... what? Did you lower yours? So anyway, grand total out the door would be 485.36! :o :o I can go get the 33 engineering one for less than that. Just curious as to if you needed the extras. I know I will need the trans bracket for sure, cheaper through advanced probabaly. But anyway, I think I will go with 33 engineering just because it is a 2 piece design and would sure help out being able to remove the skid.
