Anyone ever made a e4od crossmember work for a zf5? I have a welder and a grinder and if it isn’t a crazy amount of work I’d love to go that rout. Luckily I have a 93 zf5 4x4 truck to sitting next my my e4od truck so o can look at the major differences

I flipped mine around 180 degrees and then welded a bracket to one side so it went along the outside of the frame. Didnt come out pretty, but then I didnt bother making it look nice. Its held up for about 40k so far and doesnt show any signs of fatigue. If you know you are good at welding, then its not difficult to modify one to fit. If you arent good at welding, this isnt the kind of thing to learn on or figure out if you're bad at it.
