I have a Ranger (2003, 4x4 Supercab) that had a rotted cross member. It was the one just behind the cab at the joint of the front and rear frame. The one that the rear gas tank strap goes into. I ended up with several used cross members from the south. I had to pay a guy to cut them out and they would not do just one just one (that's why I have several). They are not cheap but it could save your truck. If anyone wants one here is the link on ebay.

I had the same problem with mine but the rust was not far advanced. I hit it with rust converter and rubberguard and was hoping to remove the cab this summer to do a more thorough job...

That price is insane for a crossmember...I'm sure they can be replaced for much less...

Dude, I can go get a whole frame half, with that piece, for less than $450 at a local U-pull.

Sometimes I'm so happy I live in Southern Cal. They are a bit high priced but with free shipping it's not a bad price.
