rock guards

[foneguy]

so i see many people buy rock guards for $250-$400 to protect their fifthwheels and campers.
I thought that was a tad costly so i baught 1"X1/4" channel iron, a class 3-class 2 adaptor and rubber mud flaps from a loacal store, maybe $80
some welding and this is the end result. they worked great and i used as a step to get into the bed, now ill add tail gate lights to the bar for just a bit more lighting..

Dang, you could take that thing and compete in a regatta.

Ya we have many miles of gravel roads before we reach pavement. Steel trailers and tailgates get destroyed very quickly.

Dang. I really need to learn how to weld. Both of the above are impressive.

Welders are a good investment. Up here in Canuck dollars a dirt skirt can cost easily $400 to $600.

Welding is one of those skills that was taught when I was in school way back when. Not saying I am “certified”, but my stuff doesn’t fail either. It is truly, one of the skills I am thankful to have learned.
