Re: R01 Question: Please save me from welding
If the gusset plate is in the bumper zone it really doesn't matter if it is frame perimeter or not. Just make sure your bumper gap to frame is less that 1/4". If necessary strategically placed shims can properly define things. If it is outside the bumper zone, it is a little more problematic. I would make the frame in that area a little smaller. One year ws had to shim out our frame perimeter because of a gusset outside the bumper zone.
I would avoid welding 6061 aluminum if at possible unless you have some one really good with the right gear. Welding completely kills the temper and age hardening.
