Mean Green Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Last night I lifted the tub/sides/roof off my 90 to allow me to have a good look at the chassis before deciding whether to change it for a galv one or not. The upshot is that the Chassis is in fairly good nick ... apart from the rear cross member, but I already knew about it. So, I am going to replace the cross member. The chassis rails seem fine. So should I go for one with extensions or not? Does the extensions give it extra strength or would the cross member alone be strong enough?

Mark90 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 One with extensions is easier to fit and line up as the extensions slide over the existing chassis rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Go for extensions. They make fitting easier and I would think they're stronger. I eat rat poison mike I can cause trouble in an empty house !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 North offroad make them out of 5mm with the option to fit a winch of your choice should you so desire. if I ever change mine thats where I'll go for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 North offroad make them out of 5mm with the option to fit a winch of your choice should you so desire. if I ever change mine thats where I'll go for one. any idea what sort of premium these attract. paddocks are £115 for standard fare, which is quite good, could maybe go to a bit more for 5mm one.

white90 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 £280 inc winch mount no water traps and imensely strong includes a proper winch cradle mount. no winch mount will probably cost less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
