    To be honest nothing really scars me anymore. I spent way to much time in /b/, and because of that I'm immune to just about anything the internet can throw at me.

    How the hell does this have to do with custom crossmembers, something I've put a lot of time and thought into?

    twoloudnproud, come on, tell us a little here. Guyhatesmycar also wants to know how you set the pieces that hold the arms in place.
    I'm guessing that if you had the car on the ground and just took out the crossmember, the wheels would move a little front or back in the wheelwells, and you would lose the ability to use the previous location of the radius rod's end as a template/positioner for the new piece, how much of there is a tendency for this to happen? I know it wouldn't happen if you had the brakes locked on with the car on the ground when you pulled the crossmember, thennothing could move, but how would you do that.. So what did you do, just take extremely careful measurements? I'm guessing you didn't try to copy/measure from your original crossmember, given its condition..

    Not like I really need an answer to this question or anything, lol, obviously I can figure it out my own way, I'm just curious how you did it. I do like you design overall though, although mine would be biased farther forward with longer "extensions" or whatever you'd call them, for more downpipe clearance.

    And I almost forgot, did you upgrade to poly radius arm bushings?

    Re: Traction Bar / Crossmember

    I'd recommend mild steel, 1010 or 1020. It welds easily, and has an excellent fatigue life and resists stress and breakage.

    Re: Traction Bar / Crossmember

    ive been wanting to build somthing like this for about 5 years now. My front crossmember is cut up like yours is, its not cracked but i cant imagine its anywhere near as strong as the one you have here... how long did that take to build? Interested in making another one?
