Sorry to hear about the layoff.
Sheet metal breaks are super handy to have. I use my swag break all the time.

JUMPPR's '75 Blazer-con build

I had two stock crossmembers and decided to cut & weld them together to make it longer.
So far it’ll support the weight, but we’ll see how good it does once it’s driving. I’m going to fab up a second brace for the passenger side of the 205 also.

My NP203/NP205 doubler has been supported by nothing but a factory crossmember since I bought it. People overthink the crossmembers.

He welded the ends, that can have a weakness.
That's the only reason I suggested it
Agree, but I welded two together and I’m not a professional welder by any stretch of the imagination.
Appreciate it! I’ve never seen those. If I’m picturing how they attach correctly, they would probably fall in the wrong place to strengthen the area.
They bolt to the wholes you have close to the weld and go at an angle up to the top of the frame.
The will remove a lot of the bending moment at the welded area.
