its 6" x 2" x .188"wall (My buddy chris gave me 4 49" sections /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif FREEBIE!)
The brackets are 1/4", I started by making a top plate and bolting it on, I trimmed off about 1.5" off the front of the frame rails, clamped on the side brackets and tack welded them. Then I put the tube up to the brakets and tack welded it, pulled it back off and welded it up. Marked and use a torch to trim the ends and make the hole for the hitch receiver. Once it goes back I'n I'm going to but the body lift on and then there should be enough room to make some tubes come out and wrap under the fenders.
Maybe tomorrow I'll start the side sections after i get the body lift put on, then next week I'll make a matching rear bumper (I'll bob 3" off the rear frame rails)
