Cut out XE spare wheel well

Recommended Posts

Xd is different to xe. Xd runs a chassis rail down both sides so cutting out the spare wheel tub has no effect to strength. The spare wheel tub in an xe is structural. If you removed it you'd need to fab up a chassis rail. I've not compared the two but a r/hand rail out of an xd may be able to be adapted?? Could be a bit tricky where the watts link bracket marries up.

Mine has been done, but the whole boot floor was changed and a new rail in that area was also put in.

would like to see pics of this, just for more space for mufflers in the back of an XE even on the one side beside the fuel tank

that's a bit more than i was expecting, but i get the idea..
a panel beater suggested cutting say a 4" pipe and recessing it into the spare wheel well for more exhaust room(extra muffler) (would possibly get a space saver still in there as a spare)

 

thanks for the pics
