Angry Cross Member probelm

Whats up everyone,
My cross member in the front is all bent up and not in the correct shape, I can get the stock bumper on and it looks fine. But in the future I want to put a after market bumper on but the cross member is messed up. Is there a way to fix it. - Thanks

There's not much an appropriate application of leverage(pronounced leee-verage) can't fix...

How can we give advice if we can't see it? Can you GET a picture? Maybe post it?

We're not fortune tellers, clairvoyants, or mind readers. Get a pic and post it up. If not I'm trashing this thread...

Mason - Dont think that these guys are being hard on you. They are just trying to help. But when the title of your post says "cross member" most of us think you mean trans cross member. What you are describing sounds more like the core support. A picture would clearly show us exactly what you are talking about and how bad it actually is. Posting pictures on here is super easy and if you cant figure it out, just ask and we will help you get it posted.

I know what he means, but with nothing to assess the damage, I can't give advice...nor will I. And, as it stands right now, seems that he's either unwilling or unable to help us help him with more info.

Damage like that is something you meed to actually see to make a judgement call on. Think about it like this, if he were to call a body shop and tried to tell them this same problem over the phone, just take a wild guess as to what they would tell him. If it's anything other than "well, we'd need to see it", you're wrong, LOL
