Skids Install Questions

[sleepyjim]

Got Engine/Front Sus, ****** and Trans skids:

Is there a particular order they must be installed?

Engine was used, no hardware, read it takes 4 bolts-m10x1.5x30, do these go into rivnuts or existing holes or both? 4 bolts enough?

Anything I should know before installing?

Appreciate your brains!

Oh and saving me from crawling under to look till I am ready...LOL

you need a couple nutzerts or riv nuts to put in the back of engine/front of trans skid. The rear of the trans skid also will take them but most that don't have nutzerts bolt through after drilling a hole in the cross member.

Typically people put the trans with the engine on top so there is less of a lip to catch on when sliding over something forward.

I drilled holes for my trans skid and used 3/8" 5" long bolts and then cut the bolts down after test fitting. Bolts go through oem engine skid too. Tc skid is installed using rivnuts tho.
