Top o' the morning to ya!!
I figured I would put my build projects all into one thread instead of separates... This will be a quick first post since I just spent a half hour on a long intro post and it got deleted when I tried to upload a pic!!
She is affectionately named Betsy Ross by my sis in law, has 185k, original saggy springs, a new roof rack, and is getting a bumper today!
Which brings me to my current question: are there any issues with removing the rear crossmember? I know it is common practice, but what should I replace it with? Will it be ok to cut it out at work with the right tools and then drive it home (15 miles)? I will be installing a TG model 2 rear bumper, modified to fit the 60 width. Think this will be strong enough or should
I put in a crossmember (I have some 2x4 .188 wall, or some 1.5" 1/8 wall round tubing) in addition to the bumper...
Thanks guys!! And I will post up pics and a "catch-up" post soon!
