Heavy Duty Rear Frame Crossmember - Scout II

Your Scout II Rear Frame Crossmember is livin' on borrowed time! 

Factory rear frame crossmembers have a tough job and not much help doing it — limited attachment points, thin factory welds, and body mount locations with zero support. Even under light loads, it's common for them to crack loose, bend, or rust through over time. If yours is looking rough, you're not the first.

Our HD rear frame crossmember fixes these issues by one of two methods: install it right over your factory crossmember for reinforcement, or use it as a full replacement if yours is already toast. Either way, you get a crossmember that's actually built for what a Scout goes through.

It's not just a stronger body mount location, it gives you a solid, trustworthy mounting point for bike racks, heavy duty tire carrier bumpers, and other rear-end accessories — without wondering if it'll still be there when you get to your destination.

Why It's Different:
- Built from 1/4" 85,000 psi tensile steel
- The only crossmember on the market designed to install over your OE crossmember OR as a full replacement — ideal if you're not doing a full body-off restoration
- Extended top and bottom mounting tabs (weld or bolt) — another market exclusive
- Pairs with our crossmember support kit for 4 additional chassis mounting points and added towing strength

Got a painted or powder-coated chassis? No need to break out the cutoff wheel. This can install right over top, so you get the same HD protection without cutting into your rig.

Installation note: This is a DIY product — the components need to be welded together prior to installation, then bolted or (preferably) welded onto your Scout for the strongest, most permanent fit.

If you're not one for bragging about how strong your crossmember is, but you're still a little sorry you've got an original one under there, check out our -- "Rear frame crossmember support kit".

Protect your Scout the right way — a ripped-off bumper and a runaway trailer is not the story you want to tell at the next Scout meet.
