Hey everyone,
Doing some work underneath the ranger the other day when I happened to look up and notice that the crossmember running underneath the front of the bed has rotted completely off the frame on one side. The other side isn't much better and looks as if its about to go as well.
Now I'm not much of a welder and, as so, wouldn't trust myself or anyone else that I'm friends with to fabricate a new crossmember. Searching online I came across this site which offers bolt-in crossmembers:
http://rangerframefix.com/
So I guess my questions are as follows:
1. Has anyone ever purchased anything off this site who could attest to a) this being a legitimate website and b) the quality of the products sold?
2. Does a bolt-in crossmember even sound like a good idea? In other words, will it be as strong as one that was welded in?
3. Any alternative ideas?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
