canadian4wheeler Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 To give you an idea of what I've done on my truck, here's a couple of pics.... what I started with, driver's side. In progress (tacked) In progress (welding almost done) Hey dude I'm a welder by trade. And I just wanted to say that to make the frame stronger would be to just grind a bevel on the plate. And skip weld it (row of tacks skip every second weld). Just because you could warp the f*ck out of the frame even with all that weight on it.

Simon Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I was working with a metal fabricator at the time. We were careful to keep most of the weld on the new steel, while only lightly hitting the frame (enough to penetrate, not enough to warp) the steel. While it may not be the same method you described, we were conscious of warping the hell out of the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
