Re: i beam
dont believe it. what you did is to just change where it will bend, your welds will act as a stress riser and transfer 100% of the stress to one location. You would have been better to do the entire surface rather than a small patch

Re: i beam
What the heck are you doing where you are bending these things all the time? I pretty much thought they were bullit proof for a relatively stock truck, but I guess you proofed me wrong.

I didn't necassarilly mean you know the all the answers, but you know how to plan ahead and not screw it up, and take your time and do it right the first time you do it, instead of having something go horribly wrong lol
