    i personally would weld it just for the simple fact it can start to rust behind the plate and not being protected

    ...too much shit to list.
    ^This

    JD lives in Arizona though. Those guys drive around with bare metal cages all the time.

    I stitched my plates just to keep the frame from getting too hot in one spot and then filled in the stitches later.
