I left off with the transfer case clocked at the stock XJ position, BUT because the transmission adapter pushes the transfer case back so far the front driveshaft interferes with the crossmember. I decided to cut the transmission tunnel up to clock the transfer case up, and out of the way.
Here’s what I started with:
The first step was to cut a big enough hole that everything fits, and test fit with the seat frame.
Then I started filling the hole back in, one jigsaw puzzle piece at a time.
The bottom hump needed to be notched to fit the seat frame.
I ended up with this. I used seam sealer to smooth the edges underneath, along with por15 chassis coat and finally underbody rubberizing spray.
Everything fits like a glove!
Here’s my final clocking:
