What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Hey god didn't give me brains but I got muscle lol.

 

Guys in looking to do a flatbed build kinda like the first picture what do you think of this as a start. And what would you value it at. First picture is what I'm looking to build all other pictures are of a bed im probably buying. Only the flat bed, not including accessories such as rtt battieres air tank and cooler

 

Box is finally painted

 

we been doing it wrong lol

 

I want the Milwaukee high torque one so bad, buddy has one and it's super nice and convenient to use. That and their cordless ratchets are super nice.

 

Hmmm so the girlfriend wants to buy me a rotomolded cooler (no I don't need an ARB fridge, I have no use for one.... yet). Anyone know the dimensions between the wheel wells in the bed? I'd go measure my own but mine is still at the shop.

 

Has someone claimed these yet?

 

Got her topeless. Lol. Took of the soft topper. Diggin the new look

 

about 38"

I think my angles are fine, I would say yes but don't really think I need em. let me know what shipping is, and I will paypal ya

 

Sweet, I thought it was between 38-40 but wanted to make sure. Thank you

@Blackdawg Found a guy selling a Millermatic 180 240v MIG for $350 on Facebook, think it's a good deal? I'm going to go take a look at it tomorrow. Said I can test it before I buy it.

That new Hobart Handler for $400 I was looking at sold before I got a chance to message the seller, this Miller is the only one I've found at this price range.

 

Not 35's...



Figured I'd mention them anyway

 

180 is a solid unit, as usual the auto set is uh, special, but will get you in tbe ballpark. Looks like it is in okay shape but i lay a test bead with it if I were you just to make sure it's okay. May have to invest in a new liner for the gun if it is sticky or old.

 

@BartMaster1234 I agree with Zane, that is a solid unit and the price looks nice. I will say that when I was in the market for a welder I was able to be patient and within a month or so I picked up a Lincoln 180 for $250. I found it listed on Craigslist at a used tool shop not far from me.

You should also check out the "Anything Welding" thread. There are a few guys around the bay area that would probably let you stop in and give you some pointers.

 

Grab that welder! That is a lifetime machine!

We never see deals like that around here.

 

I'd like to have 35s so that I have the same clearance as my buddies do so I can keep up with them
