    I was just being a keyboard warrior jerk.

    I also have taken notice of yours, Randy's and others advice on getting the TC to lock up, or in dead stop traffic throwing in N and revving up and holding at 2500rpm

    That's what I was going for ultimately. I didn't realize my paint was color-changing until I bought it and stepped out into the sun.

    they got the new 'stealth knurling' which is supposed to help grip the tire in aired down situations.

    I wanted BR6s in blue, but they are never in stock and expensive. So I opted for a cheap wheel that I can get PC'd blue later. Vors VE37s.

    Uh, yeah. Definitely that.

    Plus, I sold my '18 and bought an '02 instead.

    So looks like I’ve got a new job lined up, which means I don’t have to move and can start working on more truck projects.

    Next up welding.

    Randy. What welding machine and plasma torch do you have? And tell me about your welding table? When I look up welding tables I see mostly the fab tables with holes for clamps and stuff. They seem pricey. Thx.

    Migmax 215 and titanium plasma cutter, both from harbor freight. I love the welder. Plasma cutter, it’s nice. The only thing I don’t like is I can’t find drag tips for it.

    My table, I took some 1/4” plate and welded the frame/legs to it which are 2” square tube, 1/8” wall thickness. Total cost of that was about $300. Would probably be more now with steel prices jumping up.

    Here’s some pics. The casters are a nice touch. I also added gussets at each leg, can kinda see them in the second pic.

    Sup peeps. Finally feeling human again. Ended up in the hospital....going on day three now. Covid kicked my ass. And triggered a diabetic emergency (didn't know I was diabetic) ended up in the ER Tuesday night unable to stop puking. Turns out I was in diabetic kedoacidosis and dying. Last few days have been a whirlwind of tests and needle pokes, but finally feeling like I'm on the mend.
