I have a bunch of tube or pipe or whatever this ish is. and I want to make rails similar to these. www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=920750&highlight=tube+rock+railsInstead of making the bent piece attach to a straight piece, do u think I could just make a piece with 2 90* bends in it to go from the "frame rails" out the the rocker and back to the frame rail again. Its hard to describe but picture a really long bottomed U and then a straight piece of tube to strengthen it in between and then the standard pinch seam reinforcement and flat plates for attachment. |

That really doesn't look that strong. But yes you could do that with no issue. You should put in a straight piece to add strength. P.S. You uncle's ladder rack was a disaster.  |

Poor fitment. Fitment is 99% of fabrication. Its hard to fill 1/4 gaps with a TIG. If everything butted up really nice that shit would have been nickles.

So i decided I am gonna make some kinda like these, but I got some thicker material I am gonna go measure all the lengths and thicknesses and then figure out what design I want to make based on those measurements.

precisely what I plan, as much reinforcement as I can add where I can add it.

mine are 3/16" AJ's rails (99.9% identical to JCR). theres a baseball size dent in there now, any smaller tube and my shit would be fucked.  basically the all weight of the jeep is on that 2 square inches of slider. |

I got some real thick stainless, but only have enough for one side  but I still haven't even gone out and measured everything out there in my jeep, until I do that I dunno what to do |
