granby Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) Today i decided to fit my new rear ARB & subframe lockdown system, fitted the ARB fine and the subframe lockdown system until i had to do up the last bolt that holds the diff front support beam (pic below) and the nut in the chassis rail came loose looks like i've now got to find someone to cut out the section of the chassis rail, weld a new nut onto a piece of metal then reweld the piece back into the chassis rail Edited September 14, 2008 by Granby

emoe Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Granby, we done one a while back on a modeo, i just cut a hole in the side of the Chassis section big enough to get a wrench in there then welded a plate back in, a bit of underseal and job done.
