Well at least we know where that body is going to break in two
also as a hint put your tacks on the corners of a plate you are going to weld and they will blend in much better. Tack placement is one of the keys to great looking welds

Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
I'm betting metal fatigue will be the least of that broncos worries. Besides wouldn't using sandwich plates in the cage have a similar effect?

I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
yes, the body mounts eat all the sandwiches and become drowsy and fatigued.

I'll put some rubber on it.

Metal fatigue from the vibrations or from the lack of flex in the mounts? If it's from the flex I can put some poly in between the bolt and the inside of the body mount.
With the amount of run time this rig will see compared to a street legal truck, I'm sure that the effects of solid body mounts won't be that bad. Plus, since the body is skinnier, the flex won't be as bad.
The area around the sandwich plates you ****ing dip ****

That is why you make one plate larger than the other, so it does not act like an edge on a bending brake. Come on, didn't Stacy teach you guys anything?
