rear crossmember replacements

<< < (2/3) > >>

redhand:
A  length of 100 x 40 x 4mm box section laid with 100mm side Horizontal does the trick really well. for the mounts I cut the top of a length of the box section which gives you a U shape this was cut down to the required length and welded to the bottom of the Box Section. I also welded a plate across the back of the mount for extra rigidity, But this was probably overkill. And if you want real over kill remove the bumper and replace it with another length of box section but this time used 5mm thickness.

The tank guard was easy to make. I bought the rear cross member when i replaced mine, mainly because i didnt want the truck off the road for ages while i fabricated something.

and No i dont want a tank guard !!!! :evil:


wizard :twisted:

lee celtic:
I like the idea of the box section  :D and after looking at the body mounts I'm thinking of turning some round ali bar as spacers and just putting long bolts right through the floor ...

nice and easy to change if I want a body lift later :D

clbarclay:
How much does the disco body rear cross member differe to one from a RRC, apart from not having the hinges for a lower tail gate and being about and over 3 times the price for a ready made repair section?

Range Rover Ron:
Hello guys,

I've just fitted a new floor and cross member to my RRC.
I paid £50 for it,
just look on ebay.

The others above sound really good though,
as one of the guys say,
you can save money on some things but sometimes in the long run it is better to bite the bullet,
buy a proper one and everything should fit!

cheers,

Ron.
