Rear cross member

banter general discussions etc

Rear cross member by rseaville on Wed Nov 17, 2010 1:23 am
The rear cross member on my fronty has rusted to the point it is holed. Anyone know were I can get one at a good price?
Put her on the pit at work because the exhaust was blowing, my luck was in as it was only a clamp that had rusted and snapped at the rear joint.
It is fitted with a stainless steel powerflow system.
Is it just me, every time I look at it I find something that needs attention. List so far and growing includes faulty abs sensor, front brake pads getting low, surface rust on brake lines, rusted rear cross member.
Only had it three weeks. I did want to spend my hard earned on mods but it looks like they will have to wait :(
On a more positive note I think it's great, can't wait til it snows.

Give these a call as they do not list everything online :wink:

I know a few have had this problem, I now some weld box section in as it is a weak point on the B series.

Stick with it and get her sorted then let the mods begin :wink:

Ok quick update. Phoned the above, very helpfull guy but no joy. He did say they are available elsewhere at £175+ :shock:
Before I start welding plates on what do you think of this idea? Rip it out, make a new one from box section but include high lift jacking points to be hidden behind the reflectors, these to be removed at playtime :D
Has anyone got a picture of a fronty with its rear bumper removed so I don't have to go and take mine of to give me an idea if this will be possible?

Yep I'll go along with that mate....cant stand spending hours doing stuff to my trucks just to be in the same place I was before....if you can fix something with an upgrade then its much better for the truck and better for your enthusiasm when doing it!

Good luck mate, and look forwards to seeing some pickies of a B with a lump of box in the back, some decent recovery points and high lift jacking points (remember the high lift comes up vertically a long way, so avoid the spare tyre location or the top of the jack will get tangled with it, and whenever you wanna jack it out of a rut you will have to take the spare off first which will get tedious real quick.....or relocate the spare to the roof like bobbinsjobs truck...)
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
