Frame connectors should be stood upright in case at some later date you want to ladder bar it. Then you just holesaw holes through the connectors and insert the ladder bar crossmember through it and weld up both sides. I don't like to butt weld ladder bar crossmembers. Have you ever seen one pull loose while under braking at the top end? That is a nasty, nasty handfull!



That's enough of a reason right there! I wouldn't consider it right now but who knows what I'll try down the road.

I picked up a good supply of 4 1/2" cutoff wheels at the swap meet this weekend, and will hopefully be able to pick up the steel today or tomorrow and get on it.

re: tacking to the floor from underneath: If it is done that way with the 3" section vertical, the connector will hang down below the frame...not really the way I wanted to do it...
