Unless you are replacing a damaged cross member, making a removable one up just for the sake of it may not be worth it.
Removable gearbox cross members were fabricated for most/all military series Land Rovers, and some in civilian use were
converted as well, by innovative owners, but i don't know if there is a big advantage when it comes to gearbox removal.
Possibly if you have a hoist it is of benefit, and saves removing the seat-box, but the floor and tunnel needs removing
anyway to access the upper bell housing bolts.
One of my vehicles has a modified cross member, but i have never removed it whenever i have had cause to take the
gearbox out, or replace the clutch, etc.
Cheers, Mick.
