Don't get mad! I am totally a newbie to this and before I screw up with money I want to get some input. I am looking to build some bumpers for my new Jeep. I just can't stand to pay someone to build something that looks like so much fun to build. I want to build them with some steel diamond tread but I am having trouble finding any. I found some aluminum diamond tread and was thinking about using that since it is strong and also light which would really help with the top heavy jeep. For some reason 7 inches of lift really makes the Jeep a little top heavy. So my questions for all of you who know lots more than me on this subject:
Would aluminum work? How hard is this to join with a wire feed welder? Is this is a pointless waste of time? Will I be better off with steel? Where is a good place to find a 4x8 piece of steel?
Thanks for all your input and information.
