@@wickedc6255 I've only taken her on a few rides since but they were some pretty good off roading rides with good bumps and flexing and they seem to be holding up just fine
@@brandonf2562 the second side went much faster because I realized I didn't need to take the side step off, and used cutting wheels from the get go instead of starting with grinding wheels. So I'd say about an hour to get the components off, 2 hours to cut, grind, and paint, an hour to weld, and an hour to put it all back together. So about 5 hours, but spread over several days. I'm sure it can be done much faster but I end up taking my time on most projects.
Fluid film inside and out will keep it from rotting out.
How is she holding up? I was wondering how in the heck I was gonna do those welds on the backside

How long in total did it take you to complete
