New cdale owner here. We picked up a 03 glamis this sat and the engine cradle is cracked on both sides right behind the welds on the front motor mounts. My question is do i need to buy a new cradle or is it safe to just weld up the cracks, if i need a new cradle can someone tell me where to pick one up and how much.
I am curious why couldn't he just weld it? I would thing as long as the proper weld was used and it was addressed by a good welder it would hold just as good. It may be just as expensive as buying the used cradle, but I was still curious.
I was just wondering. There might be a time when the original parts aren't available and the new versions change from what we have so I just wanted to make sure there were no ther issues.
