Bronco Cross Member Build for e4od transmission

[bossind]

To make room for the Cage Radius Arms mounts, it is necessary to relocate the OEM transmission cross member back a couple inches. Thus requiring a fabrication of a new cross member.

Some OEM pics










Purchase some square tubing 2 X 4" 1/4" thick


remove the transfer case skid plate




Cut to length (37")


Trial fit


The OEM cross member can stay in place while fabing, notice the notching on the passenger side OEM to make room.




Making the bridge for the transmission mount (4.5")


Cut at 45% to ease nut access


Using a tall Axle stand to support the transmission so OEM cross member can be removed


Tack everything together








Take it off and weld it up


Painted and installed










Plenty of room now!
