Land Rover Crossmembers

Post by GRIMACE »

Hey People Can anyone tell me if the new defender crossmember will bolt in the same spot as the crossmember on my Rangie ? ? ?

I seent he D90 xmember and its very slim design (better than no crossmember at all)
Just wanted to know if I can chuck it inplace on my vehicle ? ? ?



Cheers :)

don't see why you couldn't make a custom one up using tube instead of welded channel.

I might just do that actually........
But I would be lazy and just make it permanently fixed and weld it straight to the rest of the chassis :D after I solve my current box problem :D
