No tube sleeves?
Looks more like hobby than work.
Why? they are welded solid
Thought it was just the way it was done if you cut a tube to lengthen it.
I do tend to overbuild stuff.
I would
What about shock mounting?
Im not mounting the shocks to the sliders
it would make a great spot to mount one of those king offroad jacks, would be a lot safer then a hi lift.
Send me one and I’ll see
I wouldn't have used exhaust pipe either. Just because it's not poop pipe, doesn't make it a better choice.
Don't listen to all these naysayers. When the door doesn't open you just push harder and then trim more off the bottom of the door. Its like a self correcting problem which ends up giving you more clearance and removing any body rot. I mean its a win-win-win. 
And BTW, even with my square tube I've tweaked it. Drop anything hard enough and its going to move.

Except I just notched the bottom of my door, Should have thought ahead and cut all the way across the bottom.
I agree if I make a mistake and haft to lengthen tube I always put a sleeve on the inside if it’s ever gonna crack or break it’ll be at that weld imo.
Part of why I offset the cuts was to disperse the load in case of a traumatic event. The purpose of beveling the pipe was to ensure that the weld will penetrate to the inside of the pipe, as well as full depth of the pipe out
if it was something critical like roll cage, I would have replaced the entire pipe
On to other things. Cutting a flat plate for where the foot hits, so someone doesn’t get a foot stuck in between the pipes

Ok, harassment ahead.
Those are tubes. Sized outside. Pipes are sized inside. I let it go on the phone, but now that it is in print, I can not sit by any longer.
