Hey Richard, I won't be in Flagstaff but want to know what is a crossmember?

Doug Allen · 07-30-2008, 01:41 PM

It's this thingy (Vettegirl's word, not mine

) that bolts to existing holes in the midsection of the bottom of your frame. The idea is that it helps stiffen the ride.

I installed one on BOB, and can't tell the difference. But it's only about ten bucks.....

...and you want to stiffen the ride, why?

That 'cause you got the cheap tube and not the pricey bar. ...and you were driving over a nice pave road that your employee paved for you.

To reduce "cowl shake". Or "fog lamp bounce". Or just because they're 10 bucks and everybody's doing it

And I'll bet you 10 bucks that the pricey bar performs no better or worse than the 10 buck bar.....

No deal.... Bob is an 06 and 05/06 is a slight stiffer frame then 03/04.

Richard,

Dwight, about all you want is maybe a deep well socket. Anything longer will just get in the way.
