Front crossmember replacement

[bjornberg]

A friend and I replaced my front crossmember this weekend. Lifted the radiator about 6 inches and it gave us plenty of room to work. Happy to get this done, took us about 8 hours. This summer I'll get after the rest of the frame, which doesn't appear to be too bad.

Nice. Looks much beefier than OEM
