I did 4 supports back to the frame and will plate it eventually to make a boatside. My goal was to never be able to hurt them! I used .25" wall. 😊

@@mountaincrawlers8 yes it is. I just got my Barnes’s frame stiffeners in the mail today so I get to practice some welding then tackle that project the rest of the way since I have the frame rails clean then doing these rock sliders will be the next thing I do probably

Youre a good dude Ben! Im glad I follow your channel! This is a project ive earmarked for my wj! I installed my injectors and used your code, im guessing 5mpg gain. Ill know more after this tank and i can hand calculate it. Are you using flux core or gas? I hate that dude dont wear gloves when working/hammering. One slip, gash city.
@mountaincrawlers8 5 ай бұрын
Welding gas with .035 MIG wire. Thanks for all your support! Sometimes people would rather take the risk. I hate wearing gloves most the time too. but my hands have become used to it over the years. So you’ll rarely see me with gloves unless I’m welding or greasing a bearing haha

So you never had any issues with bending any part of the door seem from a hard hit. I’m cutting mine right now and trying to decide if I put angle iron for the 2x6 to sit on instead of the oem seam. It’s a lot easier this way but if it’s strong enough then why do the angle iron

When tieing it into the frame rails could you use steel plate to keep the ground clearance or does that not matter too much?
@mountaincrawlers8 5 ай бұрын
Yes you can use plate and make a mini boat side out of it. That’s my future plan for my xj

@austinangell9687 5 ай бұрын
So what if your pinch seam is rotted away/massaged by rocks so much that you can’t use it to weld to? Because my rockers are totally gone and I’m wanting to do this to my jeep but haven’t seen many videos dealing with really rotted xj’s
@mountaincrawlers8 5 ай бұрын
Sorry I’m not much help in that department. Sounds like you’d have to either cut more in and make a boat side type slider or work on restoring what you can on your rusted pinch seam. Living in Arizona definitely has its perks.
