Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"

Time to install the engine and build a crossmember! I didn't like the looks or the price of the Pacific Fab crossmember so i made my own. I mounted the engine and trans to the transfer case and blocked it up to obtain the correct pinion angle and started fabricating from there. I used 2" schedule 40 seamless pipe and mitered some 2" butt weld 90's to get the correct angle of the crossmember. I knocked down the welds and blasted and painted it. I made it so in case i ever needed to pull the oil pan i could do it with out removing the engine.
