Ok crawled under the blazer today to check the u-joints (another vibe ? later )and was looking at the 203 and the rear of the TC is hitting the small aluminum like it was tilting down and loosening up the bolts(about 3/4"loosened) that are to be holding the skid plate on, Now can I ditch the 2nd crossmember and the skid plate It looks like neither one is attached to the TC..I pushed up and down on the TC and it never moved at all But will check in the morning with a jack to see if the TC mounts are worn any thoughts??????????????
