And best part, it's heavily based off the OE X-member.

It is one piece of tubing I bent in up in my mandrel tubing bender.

i made it myself. cut up the stock one, welded pieces in place to my table and bent up the tubes. I left enough room to be able to bolt on a driveshaft loop.
the biggest pain in the *** with this method is that its not centered, the numbers writen on the tubes are the degrees they are mitered to put them in the same position but with the left side tubes being longer

A loop is somethin I wanna do too, but my fab guy advised me to go off the X-member. I mean no disrespect, but did u get mount dead nuts where it was, in relation to height of mount & side-side?
