Well DAMN my welds still aren't awesome or even close. But I got it started. Still have more to do tomorrow.
How heavy is that bumper?
What welder are you using?
I thought it looked like a ton of impurities, glad you got it fixed. Now it’s time to grind off all those old onesWell figured out part of the problem. I wasn't getting any gas to the end of the welding cable.
See if you can pick out the 2 welds with shielding gas?

My welds may not be great but I'm glad I figured out part of the problem.
Thanks for the help @someguysjeep

How much rear stretch are you going to have?
What is keeping you from pushing that rear tire all the way back?The way I am figuring it right now I should be right at 5" of stretch for the rear. If I am right I'll have a 26 5/8" long driveline also.
98" WB as it sits right now unless I try to stretch the front a little more.

Just curious, if you’ll wish you would have gone further back at any point.I'm trying to keep it semi-legal to still drive on the street without getting hassled by the SP for no fender flares. I went with Metal Cloak stretch corners and 8" flares. This way I can take them off when I am going to be on a tight trail.

What constitutes as legal?Yes most likely I will. But the only way to do that and keep it some what legal would be to stretch the tub and frame also. And I did seriously think about doing that.

It seems to me as you are referring to fender flares. You could stretch it more even with flares. I’m not familiar with your corners. I sure wouldn’t let corners stop me from getting more WB, especially since this is the time to do it.
