Re: Driveshaft crossmember

If your handy with a 4" Makita type angle grinder and a heavy duty punch and have patience you can do it. Since using a punch will take some room I would suggest removing the cab. I'm sure someone has done it without removing the cab.
I installed the POL X-member in mine.
