Motobilt Rear Crossmember

[Andy-WhiteTJ]

My rear crossmember is getting bent up from years of the gas tank skid plate getting constantly hit. I'm going to need to replace it as just bending it back won't suffice. It will most likely be bent again and I'm not fond of the way Jeep hasn't reinforced that area. Rather than replace it with a stock replacement or similar, I'm thinking of the Motobilt Cross member as it is 3/16" and is gusseted. Has anyone replaced theirs with a Motobilt one?

Here is the unit I'm looking at: Motobilt Cross Member

Kind of disappointing that there's no tow points on it.

I guess you can purchase them separately. I personally don't need them as I have my own bumper to put back on. They do show them on their YouTube video:

Well, I decided to pull the trigger on it. There was a Black Friday coupon so I got it for $156.00 delivered. This should beef up the rear and keep it from getting beat too badly.
