I have a 2004 5.4 Expedition (Eddie Bauer). I live in Maryland and have to run this vehicle through safety inspection. I learned that my rusted out (non-existent) rockers will fail me, so I'm preparing to fix those. While I was checking the inner rockers, I noticed a rusted body member that runs from the driver side to the passenger side. I'm familiar with the mechanical stuff... but not so much with body components. I'm hoping someone can help me identify this thing...
Like I said... this thing goes from driver side to passenger side, up over the transmission. As far as position, it's basically in line with the front edge of the front seats. I've been searching online and best I can tell... this is a floor pan support member? Can anyone confirm that?
My questions... 1) Are the front seats in any way anchored to this thing? and 2) How much of a pain in the ass would it be to repair/replace this? Is it even worth the effort?
Thanks in advance!
