The old corner ones on the Jeep are steel, I’m trying to be as budget minded with this as much as possible so I would have love to do a full aluminum guards. But instead just continued the old ones but in aluminum. I have about 800$ worth of 3/16” aluminum that I had to eat because I measured wrong on a job years ago lol
When I stretched my rig, I cut the existing rocker guards in half and added tubing and plate steel to stretch it. I can’t weld aluminum, so the fact that they are steel worked for me.
Hmmm,i see a tig setup in someone's future! It has to be easier than an industrial sewing machine!
OP
Nice I’m still up in the air on what I’m going to do with the rocker guards, I bought the Hobart mig welder that came with an aluminum spool gun. Works great. Not as good as a cobra aluminum mig welder but way cheaper.

If you ever use seam sealer in the sun while it’s 80 degrees, you have 1 min before it starts getting hard. I had to apply it on all messy because it was getting clumpy but I have a carpet kit though.

You made quick work of this upgrade! Great work! Looking good.

This is why street parking sucks! You always get boxed in....
Roll cage is looking good!

I got this off amazon, worked great to smooth out the welds on the cage
