Looking for crossmember (1998 Ranger Ex-cab)
 
Hello Ranger Froums!

I have a 1998 Ranger XLT-ex-cab, 4x4, and one of my crossmembers is too rotted and failed inspection. It's the crossmember that holds the front gas tank strap. It's rotted off one side (bottom 2 rivits), and where the gas tank strap mounts is rotted off too.


Are there aftermarket crossmembers available? Or just keep on salave yard hopping. :rolleyes:

no aftermarket offerings as far as I know... but I could be wrong.... Junkyard hunting in another part of the country (like the Pacific Northwest) would be the best idea.





BUT...holy hell if THAT is rotted away, I can only wonder what else is rotted....

what's rotted on yours is an odd place to rot out, usually it's the leaf hangers and shackles that go completely tits up before anything else. And generally, if a vehicle lives 10 years in the belt, it's lucky...

Both rear leif sring hangers were rotted too (fixed lst year) :)
