Don't want me to tell you what I think....It would involve a whole lot more steel than you got there...Looks good though.

Is it welded to the frame? because if its just bolted on the top and not the bottom first big rock is going to rip it right off :confused:

or push it right up into the body that they were ment to save.
Hey brad I thought you where a fabricator, why didn't you run the seam on the inside of your bends?
style looks good but heres my 02- 3 points of engagement to the frame is not enough, bolt on sucks just ask Dick and the weld look cold.

I have three points of engagement to my frame and it's working very well thank you. And unlike you, I actually wheel. LOL
I think it depends a lot on how wide they are and how the point of engagement is effected.
Bolt-On is the best of the best shit. Weld On is for suckas.
My My up early and already on the azboard....really didn't expect to catch one this early. :D Good morning Mr. Foster.

Good morning my ass, good afternoon. LOL
It's funking 9 already, Bob. I normally get up at six and have my first cup of coffee. The last cup from the pot is in front of me right now.
I trying to ditch smoking, YET AGAIN. I gotta tell ya, that first cup of coffee in the morning is the hardest without the cig to go with it.
Well good luck with that and thanks for letting us all know it the perfect time to fuck with you. Hey there is a solution to that first cup of coffee problem.....quit drinking coffee too then you won't miss the cig. :rofl:

bolt on deff sucks i know but the kid wouldn't let me weld it on. Those are just mock up pics. Reason why there are all the bolts in the picture is cause it was just mock up, taked tubes... There is 4-5 bolts on each plate, one on the bottom of each. Picks the truck up with the hi-lift. My first 4x4 thing and think it turned out good. If it ever bends up or moves we can always add another stop to the frame.
And thomassss DOM BITCH!!

Gee lets all hope that your fabrication and welding skills are better that your spelling, grammar and typing.
He's still in school and has a race truck that he built himself. He even rolled it to prove it was strong enough! J/K He was learning how to race when that happened.
