No Limit X-Member Kit on a TF

No Limit X-Member Kit on a TF.
I'm going to post this here as I couldn't find any pictures or information about it other then the No Limit web site!
The C-channel boxing plates and X-plates look like they would be a much stronger setup. My engine dynoed out with 517hp so it is a little bit more than the factory V-8. So I took and completely stripped the truck again, and started putting in the square tubing from one side of the frame to the other. I thought it would be smart to X everything, only to find out that it was a big mistake and it raised the passenger side rear corner 1/4 inch do to the welding of the last X piece, so I removed the X and everything went back to normal.

Next was cleaning and sanding inside of frame rails, then sealing with Rust-Oleum gloss black, then install.

Next is installing the X Bracing. I'll be posting more pictures after I get this all welded in complete and the straight across pieces removed!

After welding the top side, flip the frame and get ready to relevel after installing the C-notches for the rear end. Notice the brown truck leaving!

Re: No Limit X-Member Kit on a TF

Man you don't mess around, there are bridges in this state that aren't that strong or well built.

I had a bit of wondering what the tubing was doing then it donned on me that that was your bracing for the frame to keep it from moving on you when you welded on the frame.

Keep those cards and letters coming, we want to see where this one goes.

Re: No Limit X-Member Kit on a TF

idbeast,

I'm sure you've answered this before, but is that an X or G clip on the front? I really like the way you approached the grafting!!!
