Default 4L80e Conversion Crossmembers

Hey guys, a couple of you expressed interest in having a crossmember made similiar to mine that a friend did for me. I talked to him today and he said he would be willing to add the bracing and stuff so it would work with a 4l80e and 4l60e (like mine). He thinks around $80 to convert it for you plus shipping, or he could probably make you a new one for as a spare for more. PM me or post in here if you are interested in him doing this. Im trying to see if there actually is real interest or not. At least 5 guys need to be interested for it to be worthwhile.

So this is instead of cutting both ends and moving the entire center section back?

Yea, but I dont think I can advertise these due to the sponsor policy. PM me if you want more details.

The 2wd crossmember must be moved back 6 inches or so. I don't think this technique would work in that case.

I just noticed this section today. I don't know if it has been there for a while and I didn't notice it, but it say "member made tools and parts classifieds".
