bighornram: Here's a photo of what I fabbed up ... 2.5 square tube / 1/4" endplates and gusset (wirefeed welded) I guess all 3 cross beams give extra peace of mind, but I think the center cross beam is the most important and adequate. I don't remember the exact bolt length, but they were slightly longer than the ones that came off the Mor Ryde. New locknuts were also used. Just a side note ... while you're under there if there are extremely deep cracks (better than 3/4" deep) in the Mor Ryde rubber mount, they should be replaced.
AWSOME!

Thanks for that great post! Just back from an 800 mile round trip to Phoenix (yes, you guys in Phoenix, I brought the winter weather with me). It should heat up nicely now.

What gauge tubing did you use? Thanks

That was several years ago with lotsa brain cell loss, but I'd guess it was 1/8" or possibly 3/16" wall. Maybe a bit stout, but it was what happened to be available at the surplus yard store in Wichita when I went looking. When the X factor first came out it was a bit pricier than now, so I fabbed my own as it was then cheaper.
