It cost me $300 to get one weld done on the chassis of my Hilux way back then.

Darren,

My '89 cracked in exactly the same spot. From the looks of it, yours has the stiffening bracket there as well so maybe a simmilar vintage... Remove one end of the panard rod and stiffening bracket and re-weld. Make sure when winching,snatching the the load is spread properly over the two chassis rails..

Which model did Nissan rectify the cracking chassis problem or is it common through out.
Is there anyway to prevent it by stengthening it, anyone done it already with pics???????????????
better than a bought one.
