You need to plate the frame where you attatch crossmembers like that lower one. Theres a lot of stress on that crossmember, and the frame is very very thin on the inside of the box where it is welded. They tend to pull, flex, and tear right there.
I removed a crossmember that buckled that portion of the frame once.
seth, quick question... do you stitch weld everything? just curious as I still know ppl that vouch for both methods???
I actually don't stich weld much at all. That is stitch welded, because that was when my welder was acting up. It would only let gas flow for about 2 seconds, so I ran the heat up way high and turned the speed down and stitched that. I go back and forth though, just depends on what I'm doing and how I feel. If I stitch though, I run the settings way hotter than I would if I was laying a straight bead.
