I'm sure this has been discussed before, but a friend asked me tonight as he owns an 88. Is there a repair kit or just weld it?
Thanks

I just installed one of the braces to my '79 Power Wagon. No cracks and not getting a lot of rough use, but I like the extra protection. Nice brace and a pretty easy install.
Facts are stubborn things.

Is there a repair kit or just weld it? Thanks If it is already cracked, it will need to be repaired. Drill the ends of the crack first in order to stop anymore cracking, weld it, then add the brace.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.
