I just let the oil splatter all over the cross member.. It is the only thing that is going to keep that part of my truck from rusting off. I swear the rust is getting worse and worse

I know right. you would think F-16 pilots would be smart but no some of those guys are f**king retarded, and don't get me started on the engineers who build it.

I just drive to jiffy lube, let the poor sap under the truck in the pit get covered in oil, love hearing him swear.

for the oil... get a small piece of bronze tapered piping so it channels it a bit further away, and cap it there, just don't let it go below the brace!

I haven't experienced this yet. Maybe today or tomorrow, since I am 23 miles away from my due date.

im in the process of making a tubular crossmember. wont really have any structural benefits except looking cool. being stronger than that crap stamped one. and being out of the way of oil flow
