Re: UCF LOPRO Transmission Mount
I bought the LOPRO mount when I bought a UCF skid. I bought the "No Body Lift" skid and wanted the mount so I wouldn't be adding any more angle to my drivelines.
It works as advertised but the LOPRO is so beefy and ridged that it has a tendency to transfer a lot of the engine and drive train noise to the cab. Off road you don't notice it but at Hwy speeds it is very noticeable.
Beings my Jeep is a DD and I spend way more time on the road than I do off I felt that the stock Trans mount would be better for me.
I ended up building some 3/4" spacers for the skid instead and gave up a little clearance. With the UCF skid and adding the 3/4" spacers I still gained about an inch of clearance and have a way better designed skid which is all I really wanted anyway.
If I used my jeep primarily for off road the LOPRO mount would be the perfect match.

Re: UCF LOPRO Transmission Mount
I decided not to sell it. I talked to Skinny Pedal and found out what the problem was and how to fix it. Now I have it reinstalled and I'm a happy camper. Thanks Josh.
I know.....I know.....I'm fickled....Sorry!

Re: UCF LOPRO Transmission Mount (No longer for sale) Sorry
What it was, I had some metal-to-metal contact that I needed to clearance. There are 4 bolts that hold the LOPRO mount to the bracket that bolts to the TC. The two bolts nearest the hinge on the LOPRO were touching the lower part of the LOPRO mount. You can see this, and I did, before you even start to mount the LOPRO. I just didn't think anything about it. All I needed to do was grind a little metal away to give more clearance and all was good. It is so obvious and easy to fix I'm not sure why this isn’t done during manufacturing.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. Specs on the skid? Which thickness did you end up going with?

Here are a few pictures. They are not the greatest so if you need others or would like to see from a different angle just give the word.
