Wow great job, both of them look really good! How hard would this be for someone new to welding to do?

and by new, I mean this would be my first time welding...anything.

 

well i didnt weld mine cause i mainly weld heavier stuff with a stick welder so i had a buddy of mine come do it with his mig welder. i would say practice alot on some scrap conduit piping before trying to weld this for a finished product. only because the walls of this tubing are pretty thing and galvanized is easy to burn through either way.

 

How sturdy is it haven't seen anything about there strength that's the only thing I'm waiting for and the gutter mounts thank you for posting a pic of those I needed that

 

it is surprisingly very sturdy. you might think it would be flimsy because the EMT Conduit is so thin walled but i have a full size spare up there and i have sat on it and it doesnt flex at all. best 60 bucks ive ever spent on my jeep. haha. besides gas of course.

 

Right on thanks bud have you had an issues with the gutter mounts

 

nope. no issues yet. and i drive my jeep like i stole it and the rack stays up there somehow. haha.

 

May have to pm you if it ever gets above -10 in my shop and can start building

 

haha. i feel ya man. its brutal out there. and i live in New Jersey. haha.

 

Did you get pounded with the snow it went right by US and forgot to take the cold with it

 

oh yeah we got the most snow ive seen in years here.

 

HA HA I need to grow up....

 

Hahaha I went to high school with Luke

 

What diameter conduit did you use? And did you use any kind of insert?

 

I used 1" and 3/4". No inserts. All welded.

 

Cool, thanks. I'm going to try and start that project here soon.
