Trektop got delivered yesterday and I had to put it on right away.... Even though it's still 35-40 degrees in the morning. Owell!

Excuse my lack of knowledge on the subject, but are just spot welds enough for the c-gussets or did Jim finish the rest of the bead? Just curious, been talking to the father in-law about welding some on...

Nice looking rig, sorry your having issues though...

- Donnie

Spot welds were just to get them in place then he took his time laying the bead in different sections

that's what I figured ... some dumbass I was talking to here locally just does the spot welds, a few more than jim did and was trying to tell me that a solid bead wasn't necessary nor could he do it with the BJ installed... which I know is horse shit since almost everyone I have seen on here leaves them installed - unless swapping out of course...

Thanks...

All you need to do is take your time and go from one side of the axle to the next to make sure you don't overheat the ball joints

This. It would be nice to be able to do this at the same time as replacing the ball joints since you could go a bit faster, but I have done 3 installs now with no issues at all when you just take your time.
