So things are working out how I hoped they would. The Porterbuilt trailing arm crossmember will act as both the transmission mount, as well as the front driveshaft loop.

I was worried that if the mount plates for the trailing arms took a beating from the driveshaft, that they would tweak and bend.


Therefore, it seemed like a good idea to box them in. The additional material should make the side plates bulletproof in the event of a ujoint failure.


On to the trans crossmember.
Ended up using tube clamps that are typically used for offroad cages. Gotta love easy transmission removal....especially with my history of shelling transmissions.









Going to add some more tube bracing between the original hoop and the trans crossmember to tie it all together.
