I decided not to go ahead with this. The cost of material is too much, I would be only making 3 dollar profit after everything including shipping. So it is not worth it for my effort.
When I have the equipment in-house. I ll consider starting doing this again.

I was hoping you'd move forward on this. I put that JCR junk on my jeep and will remove and replace it because it is just that - junk. I installed your battery cables yesterday and after seeing the craftsmanship; I'd commit to a set of these.

Just started making basic nutstrips that will work with hitch receivers and shackle relocation brackets.
The weldnuts will be TIG welded.

I just went ahead and ordered them from a company that laser cut and bend the strips. Should be ready in a week or so. I ordered 5 sets. Then I ll weld the nuts on it.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Will there be holes in them for riveting inside the uni-body to keep it in place?

Just 4 holes with weldnuts welded to it.
I will not be including hardware for a couple of main reasons...
1) trying to keep cost down low for you guys
2) I do not know what you guys are planning to run... Such as gas tank skids, hitches, shackle relocation brackets, etc. they all add the thickness which change the requirement for the lengths of bolts. Some guys prefer grade 5 while others prefer grade 8.

no holes. I never heard of that before or seen that before.

I see it. Interesting. I never seen/noticed that before.
If you wanted me to drill a hole, that won't quite help because I don't have the measurement of the location where to drill the riveting hole. It might be better if you placed the nutstrips and mark the location where the river hole is, and drill it.
