Well i think i am going to reinforce my unibody frame does anyone have some good home stuff?

 

I am uslng ruff stuff rails

Built my own out of 3x3x3/16

 

Wouldn't cross members be a lot more effective. Or is it more about rock/trail protection for crawling than chassis flex?

 

Id say thats def to stiffen the chassis. Nice work man. You burnt those things on pretty good. What did you use for a welder?

 

Moved to Chat

Frame stiffeners are there to make the frame more rigid. Unibodies flex, and cause cracking.

I'd like to know myself.

 

Where did you get that yellow case guard? I like that.

 

I went with Tnt stiffs...if you make your own or buy them it is a good investment...it really took alot of body flex and creaks-rattles out of my heep...

hd offroad has a full set(front,mids and rear) for a good price: http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/...-stiffener-set pretty sure hes a vendor on here too

 

I know all about unibodies, but usually if you want a more rigid structure (cars, buildings, etc.) the way to reduce rigidness is with cross bracing, at least more effective against twisting. That is why I thought maybe it was more about just keeping the underside protected from dents and scrapping.

 

Not to hijack the thread but the ruff stuff frame stiffeners, can you put those on before you install a long arm lift kit or does the kit need to go on first before the stiffeners?

 

yeah keep out my thread

 

haha keep out. Check out my thread

I assume you mean the T-case skid? I made it as a temporary solution until i do the Hack n' tap and can take my T-case drop out

 

I don't think we want to reduce it.
