Title: Stronger Cross member intrest ??
Post by: JDMCRX on February 11, 2011, 11:48:08 AM

I made a cross member a few years back and  I had a ton of emails of people who were looking for a stronger cross member.

My shops is set up and i have 2 people interested in them and was curious if anyone was interested in one.

The tranny sits down 1/4". So helps correct rear drive shaft pinnion angle with lifted zuks. Ive got over 80,000km on mine now and ive banged it off buunch of rocks and no bends or dents. The oem one only lasted one offroad trip.

I can add mounting tabs for skit plates. Also the cross member is fully tig welded.

Good idea, I have tweaked my stock ones on some large rocks.  That should take a major impact to get out of shape.  I would suggest making a little wider, so you could tuck those bolt heads up out of the way, so they are not dragging/hanging on rocks or logs.
That is one SWEET exhaust system, headers w/remote pre-cats, and mandrel bends.

Forgot to mention that the next ones the bolt holes will be resessed in but asseble .

Thanks the headers make a huge difference on this motor but the over head to make them is to much to sell them
