    The Kilbys are stout enough that you could lose the crossmember entirely. Just hafta make some hangers for the Kilbys using the crossmember mounting points & maybe a piece to cover the seam between the plates.

    The problem isn't actually the crossmember but the front skid plate clearance with the pumpkin. If I made the crossmember higher, the skid plate wouldn't be able to be mounted any higher because it would hit the pumpkin. Oh well... there is still plently of ground clearance.
