IDK - installed by PO.

BTW, it was blue till I went all rattle can happy wit de John Deere yellow stuff.

[JoFotoz]

Well...in that case I'm all

I'd have to guess that mine is older, and you have a newer, redesigned c/member...

Mine was purchased by PO too....and is back to at least 2003/4 AFAIK.

I did get a replacement about 2 1/2 years ago after dropping the c/member right on top of a rock ...

...and they sent the same "Unistrut" looking piece.

But hey....back to the bottom line..

...it aint required anyway !

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): It ain't required anyway

but the more important info is: Jo is special.

Why is it not needed? It looks like it provides additional support when adding more weight with larger tires and some front diff protection. Just curious.

[tom4bren]

Not needed because the front pumpkin doesn't get shifted down with the lift kit. The OEM crossmember works just fine. Either one serves the same function, fits the same, and are equally strong.

I hope its not required for bigger tires ... My kilby crossmember has been off all winter.

You said not needed, and it may not have a purpose for the lift, but did help ya out on that rock. Soooo maybe it does serve a purpose after all .

[JoFotoz]

As Tom says Coastie...

Its not that a cross member isnt needed.

Its just that the original is equally good/strong and would have served the same purpose...

....and taken the same kind of hit.
