hmmm I kind of like it and the price isn't bad either lol might go to the bank this week to see what I can get approved for as far as mortgages

 

That is a very nice looking house Erik.

Why doesnt anybody have a fence around their property?

 

Man jump on that! Yard is big for the price! And a garage! You need that house

cause its expensive, and less robbers lol

 

Good morning tw. Took the day off to unpack.

 

Mornin' everyone

Got some spending to do today..

 

Morning guys. Got back from expo east last night. Got there Thursday night, so 3 nights of camping. It fucking poured on Friday, so it was a soupy mess the whole time. So much so that I just slept in the bed of my truck because my ground tent woulda been a mess.

Overall it was fun and I got to meet some cool people while working the mobtown booth. Am also very pleased with my camping set up and don’t have much more I want to fine tune.

Whatcha gonna buy?

 

- AJT climate control knobs

- Kore 4x4 front bumper support mounts for the frame

- cab mount bushing kit

- maybe frame plates for the rear if I can get ahold of the local guy that was making me a pair

- DOM tubing for cross bracing for the above if I can get ahold of him.

Not sure what else yet haha. Had a patch sale last night on Facebook and I'm waiting for venmo money to hit my PayPal account.

 

If you have a metal supermarket near you they'll hack off tubing whatever length you need. It's like a lumber yard for metal! They should also have a drops section that sometimes has some good usable scraps for projects.

 

I will check around. A lot of times, things like that are up charged out the ass and it's cheaper to buy online. Or the local place might not have exactly what I need.

Been looking at ruffstuff for DOM. Any length and I can cut if needed.

 

Unless @EatSleepTacos can get me some quotes for DOM from Mobtown...

 

You are correct. But from what I've seen metal supermarket seems to be priced fairly. Now if you go to a normal supply house that deals mainly with large orders they are super expensive. I think metal supermarket is trying to be fair to the hobbist as well as big customers.

 

Don’t you just need a few feet? I’d think the metal supermarket would be easiest. I’ve bought from them before and while it’s not the lowest price, it was convenient since it’s local.

 

I usualy head to the local scrap yard. Cheaper but metal usualy needs working or cleaning up. But saves alot of money.

 

Found one local. Didn't know. I can send them a quote once I know how many feet I need. I forgot to grab measurements.

Yes. Thinking two crossbraces.

That shouldn't be an issue. Just looking for something a bit more solid and beefy. Don't know if that's something they have. Looking at 2" x .120" Wall, 1.75" Tube ID.

 

I just like to know exactly what I am buying. I have gone that route too before for some projects just depends on what I am doing but it's a good option.

 

I like those @AJT DESIGN climate control knobs. I'm hoping he makes some for the 3rd Gen. I might be more inclined to break down and pair them with the shift knob they match.
