- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Very nice. I vote for you to be my new bodywork guy.

Thanks for the writeup! It's annoying that LMC, Dorman, etc. don't make crossmember kits for Rangers... only F-Series. I can't believe the demand for Rangers would be too low to be profitable for them.
Did you POR-15 and then fluid film over that once the POR was cured? Or just fluid film inside the crossmembers where you couldn't apply POR?

You did a fantastic job. I had to do some repair and rust treatment a couple years back for my 09. Luckily it wasn't as bad as that.

Our body shop used to buy Ranger crossmembers, I'll try to find out where they got them. Obviously won't do you any good but it might save others some work.

I saw our old body shop manager Friday, he used to get bed crossmembers from Dorman.

Specifically for the Ranger? I've only seen Dorman kits for F-series/superduty.

He couldn't remember if the Ranger ones came from Dorman but he thought they did.

Hello, I was thinking of just using galvanized square tubing for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th crossmembers and attach them to the frame since Dorman doesn't seem to offer these replacement crossmembers. Any thoughts on that approach?
