Mine has those. I guess the thinking is that the Orion is much heavier than a stock transfer case.
The reason I ask is I just had a friend, whose mechanical abilities I trust, suggest that I didn't need a cross member.
Well, mine's leaking. Welded cone. Studs. What's the fix?
Do I really need a cross member? Is anyone running without one? I've got a 2F with an SM420 behind it.
