Some more pictures for you, TeriAnn.
Original bolt-in x-member fits just fine and is back in. A second bolt in x-member to hold up the tranny/t-case was fabricated and is also in. I had welded threaded plates to the bottom of the frame rails to accept this member before it was regalvanized. You'll see it uses the original t-case mounts and brackets and the t-case sits in the original position meaning the drive shafts didn't need to be altered. The new member will get galvanized later along with a set of sliders and a front bumper which are yet to be made.
I'll also put a couple pictures of the clearance at the oil pan too. You see there's lots of room.
