Mounts #2
Hold the end of Engine skid to start of Transfer Case skid
They create mounting spots for 5/16 inch bolts
When laying underneath, head closer to front, feet closer to back, left bracket slides into the left part of frame from left, right from right
Flat part faces outside for both, in right photo it is flipped only to show the welded nuts
Small hole is for attaching this bracket to the frame if desired - that will it easier to mount skid plates
Mounts #2 in place
When laying underneath, head closer to front, feet closer to back, this bracket would be on the left hand side
Upper right photo shows the Xterra cross member with 2 existing holes
The bracket matches those holes
The braket shown slides into the frame
It's a great idea to drill a small hole into the frame in the spot of the small hole of the bracket. A self tapping screw would hold the bracket in place.
Mounts #3
2 of these mounts hold the back of the Transfer Case skid
Long bolts go through the skid plate, through a tall gap, and through a round hole on the frame
1.5 inch metal squares have a nut welded in the middle
Mounts #3 in place
Similar to Mount #2 type, a welded nut provides a mounting point
2 of these mounts are placed ontop of existing large holes through the cross member
It's a great idea to drill a small hole into the frame in the spot of the small hole of the bracket. A self tapping screw would provide a third point of attchment of the skid plate.
