The rear crossmember on my 90 is starting to go. Tried to jack it up off the holes in the back and they just cracked and started to give way so i gave up on that pretty quick. its already been replaced once (not by me) as you can see wher a new one has been welded on. is it best to replace the legs as well or just the actual crossmember?? also is it possible to do this without removing the tub?? cheers

if the chassis rails running up to the CM are sound you can use a length of boxed RSJ instead, normally a replacement CM comes with short legs that slide over the cropped chassis rails - the tub will have to come off (or up) if you want to be able to weld it in place properly

ok cheers. yer thats the problem i got is that sumone has already replaced one with short legs. but on Devon 4x4 can get just the CM

EEYUP 08 you can jack the body up a bit to get enough clearence to clear the crossmember,,,,cut the oldun off ,clean up the chassis wiv your grinder so the new legs will go over,,slide it on ,let the body down,get it parallel,,,then weld up ,,,you will need new top spring hanger mounts cos they are cheap,,,dont bother trying to save the olduns(to much work),,get the bottom of the tub parallel wiv the rails ,you can even put the bolts back in under the door that way everything is square and weld up,,the only bit that will give u trouble is weldin the top off the chassis,just do the rest,jack the body up again to give you a bit off clearance,,,,sorted,,,,your spring hangers go over the chassis make sure u getem in the right place weld there you go good as new,,i did mine in a day outside no bother,,,,,you should be ok mate providing it dont rain off course,,,,,,,,,hope this helps dave

sorry 08 i fought it was a series ( i is a dumb bunny) mebee i should be blond in steed of bald,,,,,,,,so to recap dont do wot isez cos youll end up wiv a pile off bits an nowt,ll fit ........:doh: .....dave
