Looks good! I run 6" Alcans, love em...tell me about that transfer case bracket, how much vibration does it transfer to the frame? Is it solid mounted?

no problem man. The transferase bracket/crossmember does bolt directly to the frame(2 bolts on each frame rail) but if you look at the picture you can see a 3rd bolt(its painted over) but that bolts that little arm peice bolted to the t-case on to the actual crossemember and it bolts through a summit machine bushing. So theres a little room for movement and vibration but it does transfer some vibes into the truck. At idle I can feel a little bit more vibration on top of the exhaust but it isnt bad at all(I just have bedliner inside too).On the highway I sometimes feels vbration when the axle wraps but it isnt bad either so I am pretty content on how it came out. I might later put some bushings on the 4 bolts on the frame but we will see. Ill take some closeups of the bumper and a few of the crossmember and post them up in a bit. thanks for the compliments, Joe.

sorry about the mud, I actually managed to get the blazer in the garage today. It sits about an inch high in the back so I can pull it off if the top is off but if its on it wont fit lol. Dont worry either I dont pull with the blazer either, I had to drag that RTI ramp a couple blocks down yesterday.

Did you custom make that t-case brace or can I buy it somewhere?

my buddy at copperheadfab.com took my idea and twisted around and what not and came up with that. I know he would make another one no problem if he could, but if he was able too I think he would have to sell it in peices(weld it yourself) because my transfercase has a one inch drop on it. Different trannies would mess with it to because its right at a curve almost on my frame. You would have to talk to him and see how he feels about it though.
Ah, I see. I don't really have a way to weld myself, so I don't think it'll work out. My truck being a K10, has a less curve in the frame plus I have a 208 and 465 so it would definately be located differently on the frame. I just want a way to brace my t-case since like many people, my truck didn't come with a brace.

Ah, Kert designed it. I just had him make one to match the front which was modeled after Storm Trooper's. At least now I know how it will look when its all together. I just got a spare tire delivered Friday. Looked a little weird before.
