Besides that I think it looks very strong and I really like the design. Another thing you could try in the future is putting the tabs horizontally so you could get away with thinner material and still hold up for side pulls.

I haven't been. It'd be a lot more crucial if you were using GMAW instead of FCAW... but, yes, everything should be taken down to clean bare metal before welding (including eliminating mill scale). I'm enjoying this thread a lot, keep up the good work! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Sean Strawmyer Back and ready to rock...... crawl.

So the ARB's are thnner? I'm planning on 3/4" but was wondering if it would be thick enough. It sounds like I don't need to worry about it though. BTW, it looks good <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> --Dan Re: Rear bumper build-up Second Gen Trooper [Re: houlster] #780715 01/23/07 06:25 AM Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 1,871 Mansfield Texas onebadtrooper OP Body Damage is Cool Yeah, they are Like 1/4" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> I aways thought they were too thin.

Those are tie-down points for transport on ferries, etc. The installation instructions for the ARB, at least for the 1st Gen, explicitly instruct you to replace the stock tow hook and make provision for doing so. I bent one of mine on a rock.
