    If you got a tig setup then start cranking those bottles out! Mig is gonna be a bit more fussy with aluminum. I looked into it once but it would have costed almost the same as my little hobart to get the different gas and spool gun needed.
    Speaking of tig, I cannot believe how much the prices have come down on those. Makes it tempting to get another setup. That said, my hobart hot glue gun has been fine for what I've needed.

    The only wiring that the washer fluid tank is for the little pumps. And that's probably the simplest wiring on the entire vehicle with maybe an exception to the fog lights.

    Having extra zip ties is a good thing. Almost the same as having extra 10mm sockets and wrenches.

    How can you have extras (much less even one) of an item that is ALWAYS sold out in stores?

    That annoying rattle that you hear every time you hit a bump is probably that 10mm socket that was dropped.
    I dropped a wrench one day last year and still haven't found it. Probably on a trail at Tigerton.

    It got so bad for me that I had all my 10mm bolts replaced with 11mm ones. Cost a small fortune, but I feel it was worth it.

    Can never have too many zip ties.
    I hoard them at work, whenever I see some laying around....they're as good as mine.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Since I retired, my sleep schedule has been kinda screwy. So, my new pastime on those days that I wake up at 4:30-5:00 is to take a shower, jump in the truck and drive around town aimlessly at 5 mph under the speed limit. I try to hit all of the busy routes.





    You're welcome! :rofl::thumbsup::boink:

    Every once in a while you'll see something that a stupid person really put a lot of effort into, and they probably think it's about the most impressive and brilliant thing they've ever put together. Thank you for the laugh on my ride home today dude.

    Tires and tools. Looks like they're going racing. :notsure:

    Although, it looks like the track tires are on the car, and the street tires are on the trailer. o_O

    From the look of the car, I think he already had a rough track day.

    Maybe that's why they didn't put the street tires back on. :rofl:

    At least nobody in our group has ever been dumb enough to damage their bumper. :anonymous:
