once you get a bridge started, no gap is too large with a mig. 1/8" isnt big to begin with. just gotta make sure your purpose is not simply to fill a gap and you'll be fine.Quote:

I thought the point was to preserve the outer edge of the rim. Wouldn't it be best if they were all the way to the edge? I've never really paid attention to them until you guys started doing it though, so what do I know.
Here's mine and the worste fuggup welding.
that was my logic too. it may not need to be there and grinding it off wont hurt anything. i figure if you recess the ring and leave the lip sticking out its just gonna look like crap after a while when that lip is all bent up. the bead should still be fine though.Quote:

hottness you say?
I've heard a few complaints about the Amsteel getting frays and whatnot. And by heard, I mean read, second hand, from the interweb.
i think that is what dave has.
should be fine since its in the bumper away from the sun
synthetic wire rope does not stand up to abrasion like cable does, which is why it comes with an abrasion guard.
not a bad thing, I was going to go with amstel or something similar untill I got a whole bunch of cable for free.
Edit: I kinda like this new edit in the same window thingy
I ground the welds down flush.
I have just heard that the rope needs an aluminum fairlead vs a steel one to prevent fraying. I am not going to be dragging it over many rocks though anyway, the winch is really just there to get me out of a situations that I probably had no buisness being in in the first place.
O, and it does have 8' of abrasion guard
forgot you had it on the truck and not the bronco
