some of the fab on my BII

I've had it on there for a little over a year, the bent part is actually stronger. It has bent, but on the flat part on the passenger side right next to where it attaches to the frame. I keep thinking I need to get in there and do some gussets. not sure what i'm gonna do on that flat part, I've toyed with the idea of another piece of 1/4" on top and making it double shear but it would be a bitch to get in and out with the driveshaft in.


I cut out the whole top and set the angle in so it was flush with the outside skin and welded it in fully and ground it smooth, the inside is welded in a couple spots just to hold it in there.

Good deal, I'm glad it's working for you. I went slightly overkill on mine....

hell yeah you did haha, nice work. when I finished this one my buddy and I were kind of wondering how long it would last, it seemed a little flexy to me, but the cases don't hit my skid plate, and there isn't a ton of room in there. it is tweaked now though. I really need to do something about it before it screws up the frame rail. I had considered getting some round bar stock and welding it to the top on the front and back to stiffen it up.

That thing is pretty sweet haha I like how you cut the rocker panel out. I have been thinking about doing it but I don't think I want to cut out as much as you did.
