Was bored and I'm going wheelin tomorrow. Last time I went to spring creek I scraped my LCAs up quite a bit. Got some metal, cut it at 3.125" by 5" and put a small bend on one end. Made a few tacks, and hammered it to close the gap. Then welded it with my lincoln flux core 125hd. Gonna test em out tomorrow!

Nice, how thick of steel?

FISHIES848

That is 1/8th inch thick. I didnt think i really needed much thicker. the damn brackets are the same anyways

Dude thats real nice. Let me know how they work. Just got done swapping axles since I bent the lca bracket.

FISHIES848

Thanks man

94xjohio

You do any hardcore wheeling if so let me know how well those keep that bracket straight. Great idea!

FISHIES848

My wheeling isn't too extreme but it's all rocks pretty much on Colorado and I hit em a lot! Hopefully it will support the bracket better.

94xjohio

Yeah hope so. Bent mine in a big rut. Bottomed out.

wow those came out good. i think 1/8 will be plenty good too.

94xjohio

Yeah they came out good. Heres what mine look like. Was thinking what of you add gussets to both sides(parellel to the axle)

looks good. You should make em and sell them
Im sure if you set up a jig you could crank a ton of these out pretty quickly

I made some for mine a couple months ago out of 1/8. you'll be fine I hit mine on rocks a lot and havent bent them yet with the 1/8 skid welded to them

FISHIES848

Thanks guys. Took it , but the rocks were too small to ever hit lol.

Looks good bro! I will be doing the same to mine this week.

I have been thinking about these since I looked at my brackets that are a lil bent. Great inspiration.
