Is there a product out there that replaces the factory crossmember AND offers underside/transfer case armor? If not, that might be an idea for some vendors here.. I would buy it.

TNT makes a very nice one

X2 on TNT.
When I bought my long arm from them they accidentally sent me the regular crossmember instead of the Long arm one. It looks exactly the same as the long arm skid, just no attaching points for arms. It is a two piece skid, the transfer case skid can be separated. Pretty beefy.

Lots of good options there...TNT is nice but $$$$$. Kevins Offroad raises up the case by over a half inch. I think since I'm staying with the short arms for now, I'm going to just keep the factory xmember and pick up that Rustys xfer case armor. It looks like it will work with the frame stiffeners.

Are there any options out there for people who've clocked their tcase? Or is it best to go ahead and fab myself?

TNT also has a HD crossmember that is not the full belly pan. I use it with the stock tcase skid and have very good protection, and everything is tucked up high and tight
ps--ignore janky exhaust welds, that whole thing was rebuilt a long time ago :eyes:

^ I didn't see that option from them. It's not on their website?. That might work well with the Rustys transfer case skid. I'm not real confident in the factory one.

Seriousoffroadproducts.com has one as well, don't know if Frank sells the crossmember/skid independently though, or just with his long arms...

Frank would not sell his separate, and TNT does not have any of the old style left. 
TNT would sell theirs for $350 without the xfer case armor, so I could add in long arms at a later date, or just the skid for $300.
That still hurts seeing as how the one ehall linked was only $120.

That doesn't replace the crossmember though.

I bet it could with some tube, welded notched and drilled

Looks nice. I'm going to call to see if it'll work with the frame stiffies

JKS used to make one IIRC, although I havent seen it in a while.
A few other companies have made them too. They don't sell well and never last long.

You could install the JCR transfer case skid which wraps under & around the stock cross member & weld the two pieces together.
