U know the one that bolts to the bottom right behind front wheels... can I take it off? Can I just take it off? Im sure toyota put them there for a reason. So where do I relocate or where can I make a cross member thatll strengthen the same area without making pulling my tranny a night mare.

 

The frame brace yea u can unbolt it I've ran thru 2 of them and just left it off

 

Sweet deal! No ill effects? No offense imma wait for another opinion or two. But most likely rippen her off. The wife gets embarassed with the scrapping lol

 

Make a custom one. Mount it higher and you will get clearance this way

 

I didn't notice a difference these frames are boxed and are pretty strong from the factory . U can however make a low profile if ya wanna keep it

 

See my post on how & what I did!

 

Ya thats the goal. Hintz why I asked where to put one. If I weld it in near where its at it seems itd make pulling my tranny and other work harder.

Is it a build thread? Ill try and find it bro thanks

 

Mines gone. As well as most other factory crossmembers lol

 

unbolt it and turn it into a few pennies at the scrap yard.

the front of the frame, engine/suspension x-member, and the trans/torsion x member are all welded in and super strong. taking off that little bolt on guy won't hurt anything. almost all bagged trucks have this bar removed.

 

Thanks all! Off it comes! Thank god im tired of leveling gravel driveways and getting stuck on speed bumps!
