is there any differenses in the 96 and older crossmembers and the 97 and newer cross members? the reason im askin is i got a brand new tomken transfercase skid for a 97 and newer xj, and none of the mounting holes line up on my 95, the contours on the skid and x member aint even the same,
 
It may be a little narrower, but I doubt it. The reason I say that is because 97+ outside-to-outside "frame" rails are a tad bit narrower. There are threads here about people doing this same skid install and having success. Maybe try browsing through those to see what's up.
 
I'm running a 91 crossmember under my 2001 with no problems. auto tranny in both, if that made a difference, I dunno.
