Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroked162, post: 211068, member: 120"] Not necessarily. Those pedestal kits pictured see tremendous heat and have a little bit of weight hanging off the front there, So with an inferior, none penetrating weld like was pictured, you run the high risk of experiencing a stress crack, leading to mount failure and everything else bad associated with that. Looks may not be important to some but form and function go a LONG way with about 75% of the market. Nobody in their right mind would be happy about that work or would even think to run it unless they were to stupid to know better or figured it wouldn't matter because the rest of the truck looks like chit already. I've seen some kits with interior slag, and poor welds(what i mean by poor is, to much amperage and causing sag in the weld leaving it thin and brittle, or less than decent penetration across the joint) and I've seen others that don't look to bad but aren't anything to write home about. The TIG welded kits look good from everything I've seen so far and as I said already, Im not surprised that they will now be all that is offered. Something to remember when thinking about welding. It takes less time to lay down a quality weld then it does a bad one.... [/QUOTE]
