Ok, now I was really sure I saw a thread about rock sliders and then it talked about the pro's and con's of welding rock sliders to your frame. And I'm wondering what was said about that. I really don't want to weaken my frame by welding on it, but would just bolting on some rock sliders be tough enough?

What about boxing a frame? Wouldn't those welds also cause a little stress?
 
Cruiser frames are not tempered, so welding dose not weaken the frame. People always take this issue way out of context. You are not to weld to truck frames (i.e. semi), these frames are heat treated (tempered), you will not weaken a cruiser frame unless you get it way WAY hot.
 
I welded mine on, and some of these threads have caused some concern.

thanks for the good news,
