I haven't done much fab, and I haven't bought a lot of steel. I am gonna pick up some 2x4 box tube to slide inside the rear framerails to beef up my bumper mounts, like some of the rear bumper builds on here.
My question is what are the exact dimension, inside and outside, of 2x4 box tube? For the inside dimension, a wall thickness of 3/16" or 1/4". basically, I'm trying to figure out if my stock nut strips or JCR's nutstrips will fit inside the tube to act as the mounting point for the bumpers frame tie-ins. Also, how much play will be inside the framerails around the tube.
I know the very last nut is offset a little bit, and I'm assuming i'll have to trim off the strip close to the nut, but otherwise, I think it should fit. I know others have used 1 1/4" flat bar, and that seems to fit fine, but I just want to use JCRs instead of making my own since I don't weld.
so, ID and OD, in both axis, of 2x4 box tube, either 3/16" or 1/4" wall thickness?
