Re: Re-inforcing TA x-member?
I'm going to run a 2 1/4" exhaust pipe.
Nate's crossmember is nice, but unfortunately not in my budget for my truck. I'm also trying to do my own modifications, rather than going the buying/bolt-on route. The only rivets I want to remove are the TA mounts and then flip the mounts. Dano

Re: Re-inforcing TA x-member?
The aftermarket x-members are thicker @ .250" vs the stock stuff. I'd reinforce things & no 90* edges when cutting to prevent future stress cracks. Not necessary to utilize pipe but some plate or similar would still help.
