Awesome has arrived to Taco World!!!

Hola. I've been registered for a couple of months, but never introduced myself. I just got laid off from my job, so I have a bunch of time now! My name is John and I live in Albuquerque, NM. I WAS a welder/fabricator for the past six years at a local machine shop. I'm currently looking for work, but will be getting back into my mountain bike, reading, and my tacoma....for as long as I can afford it and/or find another job!

 

Welcome to TW! Sorry about your job though. Keep your head up, we are all here for you bro.

Welcome to TW. Start making stuff like sliders and bumpers for your new job.

 

yeah go lobos! They're kickin butt in Basketball! Ranked 10th right now!

I haven't made squat for my truck. Honestly by the time I would get home I wouldn't want to touch a welder or think of machining! But, now I want to make some stuff! I made a TON of jeep crap. The late owner of the shop was into jeeps. I made bumpers, installed a roll caged in his wife's rubicon, a pipe bender for the roll cage (pretty neat), and I welded some body armor that he got from poison spider. I was constantly fixing broken stuff for him and his buddies. I don't like jeeps very much, but he paid pretty sweet for me to work on that kind of stuff! And it was fun, I learned a bunch about jeep. I really want to make a sweet bumper set for my truck. I saw some yesterday that I liked, I think they were all-pro or something. Any suggestions as to what people want?
