Hi , I was just wondering if anyone out here has had to replace a rear crossmember on a defender 90 200 tdi and would like to tell me the order they went about it?, I have ordered a new one from paddocks with extensions and would like to know how to take the tub off to gain more access for welding or is there an easier way, thanks in advance Ian. Defender 90 1990 200tdi.

Ian Hamilton uttered summat worrerz funny about:
On a 109 it's possible to lift the rear floor by cutting one support then refixing the support after. You will need to chock up the tub though. The new crossmember can then be welded along the top sides and bottom with relative ease.
Piccys amoungst these....

I am about to do the same on my 110 next weekend!
Looking at the length of the extension, on the 110 there's enough clearance to weld without needing to lift the tub.

Cheers Lee , will look in to this as this is what i thought first off, would be a hell of a lot easier than lifting whole tub/sides/roof as complete unit, any other suggestions welcomed, thanks ian. ps jlo's looking great.
Doing a 90 crossmember with extentions is a doddle, there's not even any need to take the floor out - there's just enought room to get in to do the top seam.
On 110's, however,..............
