I ended up building a crossmember for a few reasons.
1. I wanted a strong one to mount my skid plates off of.
2. I wanted more ground clearance.
3. My old one was dented up pretty bad.
4. I will never buy anything I think I can build.
My old crossmember;
First I took out the studs and replaced them with grade 8 bolts
Next, I made some plates for the mounts
Tranny mount
Now for some reason I got it in my head that I wanted to make the center section removable. It has its plusses and it was not hard to do so I am glad I did it. Check out my fancy jig
