Budbuilt Crossmembers
For 79 to 95 pickups and 4Runners

BudBuilt Low Profile Crossmembers are formed of 3/8" thick, laser cut, hot rolled, pickled and oiled steel, and offer almost 2.5" more ground clearance than stock. They utilize the stock Toyota rubber mounts and direct any impact with rocks to your frame, not your transmission. The top surface matches the top surface of the stock crossmember so there are no interference surprises when installing. Flat head metric screws are included that attach the stock rubber transfer case mount or mounts. The stock 12mm head bolts are discarded. 

Skidplate is formed of 3/16" laser cut, hot rolled, pickled and oiled steel and bolts on with flathead metric screws ( included) for a smooth, snag free bottom. This gives 9/16" of steel under much of your transmission and transfer case for strength and protection. Screws are provided for attaching the skidplate are metric grade 10.9 for high strength and resistance to rock abrasion. Comes with hi grip 5mm Allen wrench too. Parts are supplied as bare steel with edges and flat surfaces sanded and ready for paint.  NO sharp edges and unfinished laser cuts to hurt you while working under your truck!  :)

If you have a body lift on your truck, they can be made to raise the transmission and transfer case if desired, but not required. No additional cost for DRIVETRAIN LIFT. Just ask about it when you call!

BudBuilt is the originator of the flat plate crossmember.  Beware of imitators that allow your stock mount to hang below the crossmember and catch on rocks.  Also, watch for extra large holes that allow easy trans and tcase oil changes BUT also allow you to catch on all the rocks!  How often do you change those fluids?  Are 4 or 6 screws too much to remove for the extra security and totally flat bottom?  We offer them too, but don't recommend them.

 
Crossmembers and skidplates are stocked in completed and also un-bent form, so shipment is quick, even for those with drivetrain lift.

Note: All low profile crossmembers must use a low profile drain plug. You can purchase these from your local Toyota dealer. Here are the part numbers you will need:

    90341-18021 Plug w/magnet
    90430-18008 Gasket, tranny/transfer
    We can supply these too: $4 for the plug and one gasket.
