2 x 2 Solid 90 Degree Gusset

These are much better than making them myself. By the time I bought material and cut these with a plasma or bandsaw and cleaned them up, these are a much better deal.

Bought this gusset to beef up the rock sliders on my Jeep. Figured I’d toss a couple on for peace of mind. What I didn’t expect was to achieve structural enlightenment. These little triangles of fury turned my “mildly sketchy tubing project” into something that could legally qualify as a bridge support.

Before the gussets? My sliders flexed more than a CrossFit guy on Instagram. After? They laugh in the face of boulders. I hit a rock the size of a dishwasher last weekend and the rock apologized.

The welds took like a dream. Sparks flew, metal fused, angels wept. The gusset didn’t even flinch. My Jeep now has the rigidity of a conspiracy theorist at Thanksgiving—completely unbending, mildly terrifying, and oddly satisfying.

Bonus: they look awesome. People think I know what I’m doing now. One guy even asked if I was a professional fabricator. I told him no, I just buy gussets that turn regret into reinforcement.

10/10. Would gusset again. If you’re building rock sliders without gussets, you’re just decorating your Jeep for the trail. Put these bad boys on, and you’re armoring up for war.
