1" transfer casedrop QUESTION
«
on:
March 17, 2011, 02:36:23 PM »
Ok thanks for any help in advance. I have a 98 tj. I put a 3" lift in it and I am putting in a 1" drop for the transfer case. Is it normal for the stock bolts to strip all the threads off the frame? It has happened on the first 3 bolts I have taken out. Is this normal and any suggestions on dealing with this problem? Do I tap the frame hole for a bigger bolt? Is there another solution?

I would make a solid.1" spacer out of flat stock..drill and tap it for the crossmember and then weld it to the frame. You could always cut it off later when u go with a sye and heavier cross member.

yes. unfortunately it is. Its a TJ thing.
IMHO the best methods require welding 3 nuts to a plate and welding that plate to the bottom of the frame.

Bummer! I think I will weld the bolts right to the frame. If that turns out to be too hard I will weld them to a piece of steel like you suggested.

You can also cut small holes in the side of the frame and do the nut/bolt method.

I would have skipped the drop, and eventually do a slip yoke eliminator

Same but does not negate the frame issue, you'd have to drop the skid to do the sye anyways

When you do a sye will need a new drive shaft. Get out of the sport while you can.

Drill straight up through the frame and through bolt it. you will need a 6-7" bolt and some large washers for the top of the frame and nylock nuts. This works very well and is fast and easy. X2 on the SYE.

YJ thing too
My threaded inserts, rivnuts, nutserts, whatever you call them stripped out as well but the bottom section of my frame was good and rusty so I took the opportunity to weld in some 3/16" angle.
You can buy new inserts from Fastenal.

Well I drilled 1 1/4" holes in the frame so I could get a nut and a wrench inside. Then used 1/2' bolts and it worked like a charm.
