Re: Crossmember Removal

Cut it out is about the only way. Long metal cutting saw blade

Re: Crossmember Removal

It can be done by cutting the bolts as Larry said but be careful! I have a scar across my knuckle from trying to get my crossmember out while under the truck with the cab on. The edges of the member are really sharp.

I was thinking this is the case... Hey, BTW, your truck is awesome and quite an inspiration for what i'm doing with mine. (I stalked you on IG and sent you a message)...
