flat is easy to weld, vertical, horizontal and tube just take practice.

For tube I typically shoot straight into the joint and avoid trying to weave, 120 wall is so thin it doesn't matter.

Just practice practice practice.

 

if it's clocked down and you are stuck in water or mud life will suck... any way you can run linkages to out on the bumper?

 

Awesome looking. When I look at the crossmember, How much room is between the crossmember you made and the plate behind it? dosent look like much room?

 

I probably could run some, but I don't want to mess with it to much. I dont play in mud or deep water very often.

Do you mean how much space between the crossmember i made and the factory crossmember? Not much at all, about an 1/8"-1/4" at the most

 

Yeahh that is what I was talking about. I dont see were your winch is sitting in the picture then. If there is only that much room.

 

well somebody doesn't build cages..... running a straight bead in tubing is useless... thickness of tube does not mean that you can just burn a bead around it and it will be alright...a welders ability to blow holes in material doesn't mean you can do what you want... a weld like you state you do will be inconsistant and ugly.. if he practices a nice tight row of C's, or U's he will get better at welding properly and put out a stronger more consistant weld..... a bad habit is harder to break than a good one it to learn to start with.

 

Ha it just clicked, I see how you have it mounted. My stupidity! Sick lookin bumper!

 

Very cool, lots of talent there.

 

Thanks y'all!
