So I have some 2x6 1/4 thick I wanna throw on the jeep for sliders. I have the kit from hooligan to mount them once the rockers get cut out. Question is, will the 1/4 thick but to much? Will I have a hard time welding them in?

I’ve got a Lincoln 125 but can use a esab rebel 210 if need be.

But u think the 1/4 will be ok or just to heavy for the jeep? I got two 8 foot sticks and there heavy as **** lol I’m nervice one I figure out what I need and cut them down it’s to much weight for the jeep?

It’ll be fine. 3/16” would be ideal, but if you got 1/4” use it. Look up the weight per foot on 3/16 vs 1/4. Won’t be much of a difference. Not building a race car.

Seen this in somebody’s post but don’t remember who; cut the rocker lower than you need and then fold it to where it is doubled. This gives you thicker sheet metal to weld to the 2x6. Never tried it so don’t know if it will work, just a idea that might help you. Let us know the results whatever you do cause it’s a mod that I would like to do.

1/4” is probably overkill but if you have it, might as well use it. I highly recommend cutting the doors and moving it up to the door sill. I did this mod here;

It works simply awesome! Especially if you are trying to limit your lift height! One of my most favorite and useful mods so far 👍
As far as the welding, practice on some scrap pieces first. Find the settings and method that works on the scrap before you weld on the Jeep. And don’t try flux core, won’t work well at all! Don’t ask me how I know...

I have the c channel kit from hooligan offroad
