Nice work

Better?
Seriously, that tile work is sexy. :loveu:
Cross member with three link mounts and oil pan skid. I need to build a transfer case skid. Debating on whether to have it all as a single unit or build it as two seperate pieces.
The sides of the rails are plated. Its not like they are mounted to the stock thickness metal there. I may add a saddle on the back two bolts, but it wouldn't do much good unless I plated the inside of the frame rail too.
:dunno:
Use a hole saw and drill the outside of the framerail. Put the exact same size tube in there and weld it in place. Then add material to your crossmember and sandwich the frame rail.
Still would need to plate the inside as well. I was just out there welding up the old 3/8" holes on both the cross member and the frame rail. Now I need to drill and tap 1/2" holes. I hope there is enough room so I don't have to drill and tap welded material....
If you do it that way the inside would not need to be plated.
I may be looking at it wrong, but is your uca mount like a foot high off the crossmember and welded to the LCA tabs?

got a better pic?
Unfortunately the current cross memeber was suposed to be a mock up. Once I was finished with it the intent was to build it from the ground up in a more solid fasion. But....I need to finish the damn project, so it is likely to stay put until it fails or I have enough time to build another.
'temporary solution' should be the name of your rig
