Material of Bed

[Phyguy]

I was out playing around with the new welding setup and decided to make some more sturdy brackets for my front bumper lights.

Those are cooling and now I wanted to make a bracket for my rear facing amber that normally bolts to the bed (but didn't survive this setup in Baja). Thinking of making a better bracket and welding it in place this time.

Steel? Aluminum? Fiber (nah...not stock right?)

Thanks,
Phy

Thanks!

I didn't quite understand the deal and I haven't been geeking out on the forums much any more (mostly due to a lot going on at work).

Sorry I missed out. I'll stay tuned for future stuff and keep an eye out for you in the deserts this summer.

thanks again.

Galvanized

Since you've already started helping a nub out, I just have to grind through the galvanization to the raw material to get a good weld...right?

Thanks again.

No you don't need to grind it before you weld it, Matt. And don't breath the fumes.

And don't breath the fumes.

But, that's the best part!

Thanks for the advice. See you in a couple of weeks.
