Default Tailgate welding.

Just a quick question. Is the bottom channel of the CMP tailgate welded fully across or is it just stiched across a handful of times? My original is completely rusted away along the bottom.

Default Sun has just set..

But,

With the aid of a torch I just had a look at a rough, but original 2C1 box Jordan.

Stitch welds across the base on both sides.

... getting it done and faster, because you can put in 3" of weld and jump 10" to the next one.
