I was outside cleaning the inner fenders and frame of my truck where an armadillo dug under it and sank one of my tires. When you don't have an engine dirt gets everywhere. Unfortunately I sprayed the frame with the water hose and the the side of it broke out a little where a thin spot was. I was fortunate that it broke out under the first bracket for the running board and it's small. I know many people would see the frame like that and go out and find a new one. I am not unfamiliar with this kind of issue as with on another truck a shock was not bolted down tightly and the bolt caused some fracturing on the frame. That was fixed with a welder, sandblasted, and a can of primer. I figure I can do the same on this but I though I would get some insight on what some of you guys would do first. Remember many frame shops don't want the liability of repairs that extensive so many of us are left to our own devices.
