Hey I just got a new welder last week and I am looking for some ideas on what some of you guys have welded up on your rigs to improve off road ability, add utitity, add strength, look cool, etc...
I am already considering building a rear bumper, adding a front range off road style severe use front gusset, and mabye some nerfs?
C'omon I know some of you guys have been slaving away on your projects this summer! Show and tell lets see em.

for me its been- sas, rear spring swap (chevys), FIXING RUST HOLES, and tons of little stuff. i plan on making bumpers and sliders as soon as time and money allow.
welding is probably the single most useful skill when building trucks, other than basic mechanical knowledge.

Those are Tyler's sh1tty welds btw. My diff <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" /> Having current pass through roller bearings is generally a BAD thing with a decidedly negative impact on bearing life if the current happens to arc from a roller to race. Hence the reason you should connect the ground clamp to the carrier rather than the housing in order to prevent this.
