Is that another prototype unit?
This is the unit I have on my 80, from Iron Pig Off Road. Easy to work around and does not collect dirt.

ttubb Thanks for the valued post and pictures
Being a prototype mine does require some mods to make it mine and 100% happy. I need to shim my transfer case at the mounting point up about ~1/4". Under high stress it does hit the the pan but I do like that it is as tight as possible
Also a couple little mods needed noted in the pictures below. Once the mods are done it wont be a prototype anymore it will be mine

I'm happy to see it getting used, even though I decided not to use it myself. I'm happy I sold it for a profit, even though it received luke warm reviews two years ago when I showed it at a couple of club meetings. I'm happy that Slee is still planning on marketing a production version of it for those folks that want one. I'm curious what the price will be. ( Happy ) JohnI bet Inkpot wished somebody could have busted that myth the night at our club meeting when he was trying to sell the very same pan you purchased. Perhaps he could have sold it right then.

The transfer part is better clearance on my unit then IPOR unit but the cross member of the IPOR unit has better clearance. The IPOR unit is heavier, mine is 45Lbs. Mine works better with my rock slider's then the IPOR would offer. One can also argue a full pan has more surface area to slide without the chance of getting something between the IPOR plate and frame.
Both units offer much better protection then stock. Pick your poison that works best for your set up and style.

A production model similar to mine is now available. Looks to be priced more then the IGOR model.
Even at the same price point it would be a hard decision for me if I did not have one.
