i just bought a dual case set up and found a good deal on a buddbuilt dual case crossmember. only problem is the crossmember is for an 84+ yota and I've got an 82. I spoke with somebody at buddbuilt before I purchased the crossmember, and they said with some modification it would work.
below is a picture of how I plan on makin the passenger side mount for the buddbuilt. the mount is gonna be welded to the inside of the frame. the yellow is to help prevent the frame from tearin out and the red is to help gusset the horizontal part of the mount.
my question...is this overkill? should I just weld some angle iron onto the frame, drill some holes, and call it good?
what thickness material do you think should be used for both the yellow and red portions?
