I would like to tie these frame horn reinforcement pieces into some plates I want to weld onto the sides of my frame. Front and back ending at each cross member.
These are for the frame horn reinforcement parts

I really don’t know what this bronco will be in the end. Hardcore or just a cruiser. But I do know I don’t want to be worried about the frame horns tearing off being winched straight up something if that’s where build goes. And the body is off right now.
I need to replace both bottom horns in the rear. I ordered some horns off eBay. I plan to put the frame reinforcement in after these are installed.

I also want a bumper that’s carries a tire, and plating would help with that load. 1/8 inch is what I’m thinking. The black is the product from Jeff’s. Red would be the plating, shown in the picture. I want the Jeff’s product on top not inside. That way bumper brackets wouldn’t be a problem, and it would allow me to tie them into the plate. The plate would also go along the sides of my repaired lower frame horns making that repair much stronger.
Was hoping to hear from someone who has taken this route. I don’t have a gas tank yet so I’m worried about fitment there. I was planning on cutting all the same holes out of the plate that are on the frame. As for the spring perch and shock mounts, was just planning on cutting very close to them. Welding right on those welds or right on the edge, tying right into those to make one continuous piece.
Also asking is this even a good plan? Because idk. But it’s what came to mind.
I kinda searched frame horn repair and frame platting. Didn’t see much. And the one problem with this site is your pictures disappear after your contributor status runs out.
So when you look back at people’s old posts half the pictures are gone. They probably sold their bronco or actually finished it and are not on here much anymore. I need pictures to see how things are done. Sorry got a little off course there. Anyway.
Black is Jeff’s reinforcement and red would be the plate.
Thanks!
