NovaPath Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 where do the two rear mount wholes go? I am installing solo and this thing is effin heavy so I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I begin. In looking under the truck it looks like i need to drill holes in the center support but the description says bolt on? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 They should bolt to the transmission crossmember, and on my 02 I had to remove what I suspect are NVH blocks. They were just weights, and were covering up the holes to mount the skid. After that, it was easy to mount it up, and you just sandwich the bolts like the diagram says (assuming you got one, this is 4x4 parts afterall.)

NovaPath Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks!! I suspected as much but didn't feel like going on exploratory surgery to find some holes....I did not get a diagram...They only included two nuts for the long bolts, It sounds like I may need 4 total? Thanks Again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I believe 2 nuts should be fine, they've gotten me through a lot through the years. But yep, you're on the right track, just feed the bolt through the crossmember, stack the washer and lock nut, and then hold the nut as you turn the bolt. That's how I usually do it, I may have forgotten another washer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
