I got my crossmember yesterday. 84, single. Powdercoated black. Super high quality pieces. Almost too nice to bolt under my truck.

Today I put it on. Super easy to install, with all hardware including low profile magnetic drainplug and gasket. I only lost a few drops of gear oil while swapping the drainplug. I like the extra screws and the allen key.

I used some new 1/2" ID washers for the outer mounting bolts.

Now my stock rock-magnet trans crossmember is in the recycle pile.

Thanks!

For those who don't have one already, these pieces are highly recommended.

 

Do you have dual T-cases or just a stock setup? Id like the crossmember but I dont know if it works with the stock setup..

 

I have the single case xmember. Same as pictured below, but black.

And yes, it works fine with a stock setup. I got a lot more ground clearance, plus a partially flat bottom for sliding over stumps or rocks.

Highly recommended. And a good price too, at only $179 + shipping. Powdercoating was extra, but you can always paint it yourself too.

 

I've had mine (also a single case version) for over 5 yrs now.....bought it when he was still relatively unheard of, and it has held up to many miles of hard offroading! Just a tip: make sure and use antisieze on the allen screws, it's easy to strip out the heads when they've been through the elements and refuse to come loose! -----------Hans

 

Yeah, I did use antiseize for all the bolts, including the frame mounting bolts. They do salt the roads around here in the winter too!

 

sounds cool thats the only thing ive found to complain about on my truck the stock crossmember.
