Nerf Bars

I am building some heavy-duty nerf bars for the Jeep. Currently the only thing between a nasty roll or T-bone (not the kind from a highway diner) is a thin sheet of fiberglass. So I am building some supports out of 2" sq 1/4" wall tubing and 3" sq 3/16" wall tubing. I am going to gator coat the outside of the 3" sq tubing, put endcaps on it, and then rivet some diamond plate onto it. Each will be attached to the jeep with 8 3/8” grade 8 bolts.

The bit is just there for classic looks, the laser actually cuts the hole
