reinforced my rear quarter panels
Took a hit on my driver side rear panel, been lucky till this as far as damage.
So finally got tired of looking at it and didn't have $ for poison spyder or others at $600+ right now. (Do just can't justify it, now Rubi crawler or say bead locks I can justify :thumb
So I used 10 gauge and the reason is I'm doing a tube ( 1.5" .095 or 120 wall haven't decided)
Lengthwise for putting it against walls and rocks.
The tube will reinforce it ALOT.
So $35 so far and another $35 or so for the tube and misc. Stuff and powder coat.
Had to drill and pound the driver side to get it flat enough to nutsert and then knock down the high spots..
Have to repaint the driver side armor bit I'm going to strip them back weld the tubes and then paint.
Here's the driver side where the damage was
