Jeep Tj Wrangler - Liquid Lockers

Jeep Tj Wranger Skidplate
A used skidplate had to be sourced, as the original unit had been pretty well butchered because the new transmission mount sent two large bolts through a contoured section of the plate. The washers were angled on the contour, and holes had been cut with a torch for clearance. Modifications were made to the transmission/transfer-case mount positioning the bolts through a flat part of the replacement plate. Fastener length was critical for ground clearance and required sourcing both 2.5- and 2.75-inch bolt lengths. A removable threadlocker stick worked well and did not drip.
Jeep Tj Wranger Transfer Case Studs
The transfer-case studs were slid into the adapter, and 243 liquid threadlocker was applied to each stud. Enough threadlocker was applied to fill the cleaned threads at the point where the nut will reside. The nuts were then torqued to the OEM specs listed for the stock NPG231 case and the excess liquid wiped away.
Jeep Tj Wranger Skidplate Bolts
The OEM skidplate bolts had begun to rust-seize. In the East, winter driving will cause severe corrosion, making fastener removal very difficult. Threadlocker will seal the mated threads and prevent rust seizing.
