Alaska BS thread

MM 250 is a great little MIG, thats what I learned on as well I liked it a lot.

 

Gotcha. Welds looks good

 

Hey Ben, did you get an estimate on powder coating your bumper? Or did I just dream that up? I might buy a front bumper but want to know if it'd be cheaper to have it done up here or if I should just get it done when it's built.

 

Which one are you looking at?

 

The one from Elite. He's starting a group buy on it. If I get my tax return in time and the price is right, I think I'll get in on it.

 

We'll have batches of stuff going through a local guy. Price will probably be around 3-400 though.

You do know of the pallet coming up from brute force though right? He's worked out a deal with us up here so on me if you want more info.

 

Ohhh i love the elite bumper. Im jealous.

 

Hm, OK. Thanks for the info. I know you have something set up with Billy, I'll PM you if I want to go that route. I think I'll be able to get it shipped up via Lynden Transport for close to nothing. I have a connection there

It's all just wishing at this point though. Elite charges $130 for powder coating so I think I'd go that route if I do buy one. My dilemma right now is what my priorities should be after buying the lift. Awesome bumper or new tires...decisions decisions.

 

Protection or play? My vote goes for protection before play.

What lift are you going with?

 

My vote is play first cause the stuff you'll break will be replaced with protection haha

130 is dirt cheap for powder coating but I'd be REAL worried about it making it all TW way up here without any damage. That's why most places won't ship coated stuff. Generally not a safe idea.

 

Full OME kit w/ 883 coils, Dakars, and their AAL.

 

Yeah that is my concern. I'll talk to Eric about it and see how he ships/wraps it up. And yeah I've been thinking tires first for a long time but now there is a group buy on this bumper I am having second thoughts haha. The bumper will be mostly for looks and for mounting lights to, honestly. I don't wheel hard enough to actually use it. But damn does it look good

 

Totally understand. I'd be surprised if his prices beat Billy's. I dunno, just something to keep in mind.

 

Play first! And then, as stated, when you smash your front bumper up, you replace it with protection! Win win here... Think smarter not harder lol

 

Not going to lie, looking at these sliders in my garage is bugging the living shit out of me !

 

Okay hold everything. We've got bigger issues at play here. TACO7000 WHY IS YOUR TRUCK WITH ALL NICKS PARTS ON CRAIGSLIST?!?!?!? Nick what have you done haha?!

 

uhhhhh, got to check this out.

edit: Gov computer wont let me have to take your word for it.

 

That's pretty odd I wonder why he's sellin it. He hasn't even got to use it

 

Maybe thats why he hasnt been in a big hurry to come get his sliders at my house.

On that note, I have a nice set of sliders for sale if anyone is looking for some ! Only kidding.

 

Haha. Gimme gimme gimme
