New England Mod & Meetup Renaissance group

Got to see Jared @crashngiggles just a day or two ago. Plans for a good size shop in the future at my house and plenty of space for a meet but that’s a few years I think. Hopefully we can get another local meet before the snow flies!

 

Im thinking of doing another fab day. Thinking early November. Whos interested?

Concord NH

 

Welding 304 is no joke. I think I’m just going to send it with my reroute anyways.

 

Let me know how it goes, I'm gonna need you to fix mine up, lol.

 

I’m going to try mine, we will see how it goes

 

Not trying to sound mean but I think you need a bit more practice with that. Make sure it's super clean and play around with the adjustments.
With that I'm sure you'll be making better passes in just a little while.

 

Yeah I did a lot more than just that. I’m going to see if there’s any 16 ga at my work so it’s more apples to apples. Got some tips from some more talented people that I’m going to try out.

 

Definitely check in on the welding thread but @Bivouac may be able to give you some tips as well.



Going to need those tube flares sooner than later…would have saved my arse this weekend. Pics after I wash the mud off.

 

Yep the welding thread was my source of more talented people

 

How soon is sooner? Im planning a steel supply run this week. 1.5" or 1.75" and 0.095" or .120" I have dies for both. I can get a quote.

 

This one's newer, I'll have to measure my platform again but there's a chance this might actually fit under there. It's small, but that's significant. Worst comes to worst, it can freeze, I could use it to freeze water bottles for my cooler and not have to worry about restocking

 

@m603holden is a very talented welder and doesn't live too far from you

 

I have stainless rods(e308L), but, we usually just TIG, even in the field.
I don't, nor have I tried wire feed with SS. Might one day.. but, not much call for it.
Super clean. Stainless wire brush, only used on stainless, for prep, etc. More forgiving, and easier to learn than aluminum, at least from a TIG standpoint.

And yeah, second m603holden, cool cat as well.

And looks like my window of getting rid of the marshmallow feeling and bump stop tests, is pretty much gone until November.... sucks. BUT, it is what it is.

 

I messed around with it more today using all the tips that I got (cleaner and more heat). Posted results here.

It’s already too late!!

I need to measure the tube. Don’t wait on me tho. I need to get on the tundra master and booster swap first. Just ordered the parts.

 

Sounds good, just let me know. If your lookin to match your bumper and sliders i am almost positive it will be 1.75” .120 wall

 

Those welds are already so much better than what I got on mine, lol. You potentially around Sat or Sun to get em done, or is that too short notice?

 

Ooooh

 

How convenient that it has "winch" in the name haha

Supposed to do an ATV trip 11/4 or 11/5, wonder if the wife will hate if I wheel both days that weekend
