I have added 4 new product listing for suspension link tabs.  Check them out by clinking here.

Like all of our gussets, the “UCF” Gusset is 3″ wide x 3″ tall x 3/16″ thick with a square edge.  They can be used wherever suspension or cage reinforcement is necessary. Our gussets are laser-cut from carbon steel plate.  Strengthen your cage or suspension mounts with style.

We started working on a new aluminum roof for Yamaha Rhino UTVs.  It is made from one piece of .063″ aluminum and will weigh in at just over 10lbs.  Look for it on the website soon!

Our Deep-Cover Skid Plate System is the only custom configurable skid plate system on the market.  It provides the flexibility of design to allow for the wheeler with a modest budget to protect the most vulnerable of locations on the vehicle.  It will also provide the options desired by the most hard-core of rock crawlers to purchase the strongest, thickest undercarriage protection available on the market.

We have redesigned the fabricated steel diff cover to be easier to assemble.  The one piece folded steel body is laser cut from 1/4″ steel plate.  Professionally welded in our fabrication shop by our experienced welders.

Ships with a fill plug and mounting hardware.  You will need to spray paint the outer surface.

I just posted up a set of install instructions for the LOPRO mount.

This version of our 14 Bolt cover is for those who want to shave the bottom bolt from the housing.  By removing the lower bolt you save at least 3/4″ of ground clearance. (You will save much more if you haven’t already shaved the housing flush with the stock cover.)  You are left with just over 1/2″ of sealing surface of the lower portion of the ring.

We are offering this cover welded-out or in kit form.

We got the product listings for the 4-Cylinder YJ engine skids added to the website this morning.

1/4″ 6061-T6 Aluminum:  http://undercoverfab.com/aluminum-engine-skids/70-87-95-yj-aluminum-engine-skid-plate.html

1/4″ Carbon Steel:  http://undercoverfab.com/aluminum-engine-skids/71-87-95-yj-carbon-engine-skid-plate.html

I have added the option to specify the bushing material for the LOPRO mount.  You may now choose from Blue Polyurethane or Black Rubber ($5 upgrade).  Rubber typically transmits less vibration to the chassis.

You can see the LOPRO mount HERE.

I just added the option to upgrade UCF aluminum TT skid plates to 3/8″ thick 6061-T6 aluminum plate. The upgrade cost $100 extra. The total weight of the 3/8″ TT plate is about 40lbs and is the ultimate combination of light-weight and high-strength.

I put together a chart to help people understand the net effect of the installation of the skid plates offered by UCF.  The chart includes all TJ models from ’97-’06.  I also includes the effect of the new LOPRO transmissions mount and makes a recommendation to install a motor mount lift in specific circumstances.

The chart makes no mention of required body-lifts or necessary tub clearancing.

The UCF LOPRO Transmission Mount was designed to allow you cheat.

For years people assumed you needed drop-down spacers for the stock transfer case skid so you can install a 3″ suspension lift on a TJ – Not with the LOPRO mount!

Everyone also thought you needed a body lift to install a TT skid on a TJ or LJ – Not with the LOPRO mount!

There are many ways to take advantage of the clearance afforded by the LOPRO mount.  Some probably haven’t yet been considered.

The new mount is a direct replacement for the factory transmission mount on the ’03-’06 model TJ and LJ.  More testing and development is required before we release the LOPRO mount for the early model TJ (’97-’02).  It is almost 1″ shorter than the factory piece.  This lowers the transfer case down into the skid plate by the same amount.  That 1″ of extra clearance can go far toward reducing metal-on-metal vibration and avoiding body lifts.  Some increase in felt drivetrain vibration should be expected with this transmission mount.

Some modifications to the factory bracket that connects the transmission mount to the transmission will be necessary.  You will be required to shorten a flange with a sawzall or angle grinder.  The LOPRO mount will be shipped unassembled and unpainted.  You will need to paint all the bare steel parts and install the bushing.

Note:

(1)  The LOPRO mount will not be directly compatible with the UCF High-Clearance Transfer Case Skid Plate if used with the 42RLE automatic transmission.  The transmission pan would interfere with the bent front edge of the skid plate.  The front edge of the skid plate could be modified to allow the parts to be used together.

(2)  The LOPRO mount should not be used with 32RH automatic transmission in the early TJ because the adapter that attaches the transmission mount to the skid plate doesn’t adequately support the bottom side of the LOPRO mount.
