TD5 rear crossmember body mounts, behind or in front of rear tub?

oli1 · Apr 9, 2013

Hi guys,

The little tabs that join the rear crossmember to the tub right at the rear/bottom of the tub, on a TD5 do they go behind or in front of the body work?

I'm sure I've seen some go behind. My 2002 has them in front.
Or was the change over on the Pumas?

Terribly exciting question I know!

Cheers

Hilarious.

Anyway, if I wasn't very clear, does anyone know when Defenders moved over to have the bodywork on the outside, like in the below picture:

rather than like this:

Thanks guys
