I think thats pretty much what he said. At some point, the
instructions would include dumping the sand and really really
cleaning the lines with a detergent to make sure that there
is no sand left.

Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
If they really wanted strong, they'd be using explosive forming. Added
benefit is a pretty good surface hardening and inner toughening. Of
course it tends to get kinda noisy and the forms don't have the longest
service life...

They may do that too, I was just really amazed they didn't stamp
two halfs and spot them together like the Wannabee jeepettes.

Re: Finally The Answer to my Brake Issues
Are you implying that the fully boxed Wrangler frame rails are made by spot
welding two C channels together? I ask because that is most certainly not
how my TJ's frame rails were made.
