This is a basic walkthrough for an independent transmission crossmember install on a TJ. I installed this in order to do a fully flat belly skid plate and separate the skid and crossmember for ease of use in the future. Below is a list of the parts i have and the tools i used to complete this. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask in the comments.
In order to complete this, I have:
-1 inch motor mount life
-1 inch body lift
-savvy cable shift (novak works also)
-adjustable control arms (uppers at minimum)
-new crossmember (daves customs)
-slip yoke eliminator kit (teraflex shart shaft)
-cv rear driveshaft (adams driveshafts)
The tools that i used during this process were:
-grinder
-welder
-3/8 ratchet
-1/2 ratchet
-8mm deep well socket (front driveshaft)
-1/2" deep well socket (trans mount to skid)
-9/16 deep well socket (trans mount to trans)
19mm socket (impact used to remove stock skid)
-breaker bar
-sawzall (used to remove uncooperative stock skid bolts and exhaust)
-floor jack
box wrenches (for bushing bolts on new crossmember will vary by manufacturer)
-Drill bits up to 7/16 (if you use the plate that comes with the kit)
