Black sheep offroad x member install.

Finally got round to fitting the x member supplied by Clive at black sheep offroad
I must say excellent service and well made not to forget damm strong.
I did it without removing the tub floor ,but its made easier on the ramp removing the tank was a pain putting it back was just as bad anyhow after many cups of tea this was the result.
First paint well not the bits that need welding.


remove orig x member


x member removed and chassis rails cleaned up, cleaned out and treated.


member in place ready for welding.




some zinc primer then some satin black paint





Finally re-assemble get the bloody tank back in with that stupid tank gaurd back on the finished of with a new set of flaps.

Neat cutting off of the old one - angle grinder or plasma cutter?

angle grinder as my plasma is broke, it took a bit longer but not to bad.

That's some neat welding for uphill
