For the t-case skid I just lined it up right, drilled some holes for some self threading bolts and the put the impact on it and bolted right up to the cross member and frame .... Very simple , no modification needed , tap bolt hole, then self thread bolt it on.

Not entirely sure if this is the right place to ask but I figured since I just read through every page, I'd ask lol. Thinking about making my doors removable and my only question is, other then the way every else does it, is it possible to remove the hinges completely and replace them with hinges from something like an 80's CJ-7 or any of the other Jeeps with stock removable doors? And if so would it be simply bolting on, or a bit of fab work as well. I get the impression it wont work since everyone seems to be fabricating their stock brackets but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask lol.

yes an all XJ pack will give about 2" depending on the condition of the leaf packs used (XJ Main - Cut XJ Main - XJ 2nd - Cut XJ 2nd - XJ 3rd - XJ 4th)
