2011 Ranger front crossmember
Hey all,
I've searched around the internets for this piece of information, and can't come to a satisfying answer.
I have a 2011 Fx4, and there is a front crossmember (joining both frame rails).
Is it of any use, or can i ditch it?
The reason to the question is that I will be installing a winch mount

I think its there as an additional support for the torsion bars. You can cut it out, but when you make your mount for your winch, you need to be sure to attach it to where the old cross member was. You'll need to beef up the front of the frame anyways so you don't tweak it by pulling at a sideways angle. Bottom line, beef up a sturdier cross member to mount the winch to and you shouldn't have a problem.

Indeed, the ratchet strap was needed but everything is in place now :)
