I agree, but it is really rare that I drop the crossmember. That's why I like bolt on aspect of it, if I really need to get in there it won't that hard.

Not being a 3 piece crossmember is the reason i bought it.

This 3 link has me very very interested, especially being bolt on.

This may be what you are looking for.

Is it just me or is that identical to the RC LA x-member other than the extra mount on top?

As promised, some photos of the 3 link and my initial thoughts. First off, pics do not do this thing justice. I can be overly critical and I'll say that I was expecting a lot when I ordered this kit since I was replacing my perfectly fine Rubicon Express long arms. That said, as far as build quality and craftsmanship go, this kit has far exceeded my expectations. Everything about it is pure BEEF. The Currie joints, the links, crossmember, everything. After seeing this I can't wait to see what else Cavfab offers in the future. Obviously these are just initial impressions, but build quality wise, anyone who bought this at the pre-order price got a steal. Even at the regular price it is a hell of a deal. I'll give some more thoughts after the install, but unboxing this has already made my day.

Lol it wasn't an easy thing to take photos of, but CavFab just shoot me a message if you want to use them. I have a ton more as well I can email you. Also if anyone wants a photo of anything specific just let me know.
