Reply:Holy hell! Beefy! I don't know what a quick steering mount is (steering box w/fast ratio?) but damn, looks like it can take the jeep scene quite nicely.Just another clown trying to be cool
Reply:Thick plate is always a guessing game to me.Do I develop full strength with a simple fillet, or should I bevel it for something approaching a full penetration weld.But looking at the tubing the plate's welded to, why bother with a full penetration weld.  The tubing will give out first.I'm assuming the thick plate is for rigidity, and resistance to wear at the eyes"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:But I'd still get queasy and at least do a built up weld.It's just me, ignore it, I'm weeeeeeeeeeeeerd"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:Oh Hell, I'd bevel it least a leetl bit.  ROFLMAO"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/

Reply:At any rate it's BEEFY! and nice work ta boot! Noe put it in your machine and take a picture so I know what the hell I'm commenting on!Just another clown trying to be cool
Reply:Nice work on the cutting and fitting.  If your tube has a 1/2" wall thickness and the the plate is 3/4" thick, your fillet welds should have minimum 1/2" leg length.  That means multiple passes.  Fill 'er up!MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:1/2" walled square tubing?   can you drive your jeep on just the front two wheels?  with that ultra-beefy mount, it will tip the center of gravity all the way to the front bumper

Reply:Me thinks you'll tear apart your entire front end before that part fails. Good lord that is only like 10x overbuilt. Seeing as it's at an angle though I'm a little surprised you didn't leave more relief around the mounting point, or angle the upright. But if it works it works.
