Hey Folks,
I'm adding some angle iron on to my Comanche frame to weld some brackets and stuff to, as well as to protect the bottom side of the frame.
My plan was to sleeve the frame (using 1" od, 9/16"id tubing), but as I was drilling, I discovered that the outter frame rail is actually double walled. I'm using 9/16 bolts. Now I'm wondering if I really need to sleeve as the MJ frame rail appears to be a bit stronger than the XJ. On the back side I had planned on using large custom made fender washers to distribute the load as much as possible
What do you think?.. Will I crush my frame rails, or will I be good without sleeving?
Some pics of my setup are attached
Thanks,
Ryan
