does anyone know where i can get a crossmember for long arms? i wanna make my own arms, but dont want to make the crossmember
Good point.Look at the Claytons crossmember, RE, TnT and Rock Krawler ones for ideas.

Your sleeves are not welded on both sides,close copy though.That little pie cut is useless!This was 6 years ago,with a second set made about 4 years ago.Have you seen mine? Nothing terribly new or innovating, I took several ideas from several crossmembers I have seen.
There really isn't to much to it. Mine is almost complete minus the arm mounts (that is this weekend's task).

I knew which cut you were referring to. Using the 1/4" replacement was really the only option. There would be no way for me to accomplish a non-flat replacement without cutting it up like yours is. However, cutting mine up to look like yours would mean having lowered the trans and t-case below their stock height. Why would I want to loose clearance?Stopping moisture and adding strength is why I did it.A drop is built in to mine!The pie cut I was refering to was the top,it serves no strength at all,you could accomplish the same thing with a notch.Since you used flat stock,thats going to be the weak spot!
Actually,it didnt make sense!The replaced piece does serve a purpose. It drops the trans mount down 3/8". That may not seem like a lot, but it brings the trans and t-case back to about 3/4" higher than stock given the extra material between the new mounts for the crossmember and the plated uni-body. If that makes sense.
