• This is for 4 wheel drive -- it is longer than for 4x2 Xterra (2 wheel drive)
• Made from 3/16 thick aluminum
• Front bolts are shared with Engine/Transmission skid plate and fasten in the provided brackets
Transfer Case - front view
• View from the front
• 2 brackets (inside of the cross member of the frame) hold 2 bolts each
• Those 2 brackets are shared with Engine skid plate -- see Frame Brackets
Transfer Case - rear view
• View from the rear
• 2 bolts - each held by a 1.5 inch square plate with a welded nut in the center
• Those bolts go through the round holes in the cross member, with a small plate on top
• You can see a temp bracket with word Yes showing in same spot as the 1.5 inch square plates will be -- this avoids you drilling the frame and the bolts will hold better than screws would
• It is always a stronger hold to go around, not through
• The small hole on the right is where you should optionally (recommended) drill a 1/8 inch hole and use the included self tapping screw
• While these 2 bolts hold the skid plate, this third screw would avoid future rattle
* Closeup of square bracket on top
• There is a welded nut on this bracket
• 2 bolts mount like this
• Third is a self tapping screw going into the frame's cross member
