    Yep - starts as a nick in the cross member. Fortunate for me my sammy maker bought me a welder weeks before I noticed it the night before we were going to MOAB for 2 weeks. I hadn't welded for YEARS. Both sides were cracked.

    Resurrecting this thread. While replacing the clutch on my 07 regular cab, noticed cracks on both sides. Not as bad as I've seen on others. Guess it's time to weld em up. 17 years of offroading and you can tell it has taken a few hard hits.

    That's what I thought. I'm just gonna drill a keyhole to stop it spreading, and tig it. Should work for me, as I plan on eventually doing a linked SAS on this truck.

    makes me wonder if anyone sells a replacement crossmember that’s stronger. I think Marlin might.
