welding new frame pieces

[sanscruiser]

I did the afromentioned flat-strap-with-nuts welded into the back frame on my GX470, when the captive nuts broke off. It's been fine now for 5 years and tens of thousands of miles of towing.

That repair (which I did in my driveway with a $200 harbor freight welder), a good power wash, and inside/outside Woolwax application will do wonders to that frame.

Many thanks..I'll keep you posted. I will be doing some of that work, after the blasting.
