Yep. Started on the driver's side last night. I chopped off the brackets last night. Got them all sanded down, ready for welding.
Tonight I'll mount them, tack them, and hopefully get to welding everything.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that - but they'll work out nicely for the rock garden!

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
Update: Both sides are tacked and I've removed them from the rig.
I started the welding last night, hope to finish everything by this weekend. Much fun!

Sound good, Moonie! Maybe as a bonus we can weld on a "I love Hummers" signature plate.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
Next, time to work on the caps. I decided to taper them a bit, on the front side only. For the fun of it, I put it a 1/4" support near the corner since that part takes the most hits.
Then, welded the caps on. Not designed to look pretty yet.

Re: Need Opinions on my Rock Rail project...
I left the rear ends flat. I like how they look.
I'm pretty happy with the front caps too.
ONE THING LEFT: Painting. The weather is supposed to be cold and snowy tomorrow, so I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to paint them in 50+ degree weather.
