I see you too, like to procrastinate on projects

 

BOO - I'm randomly back? lol. I feel like I drop in most randomly around here. Nothing exciting to share; had contractors working windows this weekend - such excite.

 

for real...I know.

 

Tacoma related -- I am thinking about getting a little snorkie setup -- problem is I think I'll spend more $$ on an inline style filter to my tarbo than these bits o' plastics.

 

She's going into the trades.

 

Gotta get her a 811 sticker for the power wheels now. Shes a future linemen

 

I also need @Kwikvette to make me a parts list to make my tailgate replacement -- lol. jk jk -- I do need to get after this though; would love to have something done this summer. Wanna make a fold out table for camping - but need to get the basics done first. I'm torn between making something I keep a tailgate like thingy and just losing it all together...

 

You just need to draw it

I'll make what you need; after almost 2 whole years of basic 2D CAD shit I finally learned how to do 3D modeling in order to create flat-pattern DXF's that will automatically adjust hole distances and set bend lines for you based on any given thickness

Not sure why I waited so long, took like 10 mins

 

Future SPARKY. Though if she goes mechanical...that's cool too -- that's where us cool monkeys are.

 

I do just need to draw something up and sit at the back of the truck and figure out what I actually want. Sounds like a good excuse to go camping. lol.

I haven't welding anything in a bit - need an excuse...but could use some expertise around here for additional ideas (and well of course to laugh at my progress).

 

I'm planning to mostaliner the whole truck as we fall into fall this year...so I wanna get a gallon and test it out on the rails, rear bumper, and my intercooler bar to get some experience -- thus the desire to perhaps wrap up something for the back to coat while I'm at it...

 

Everyone knows HVACR/steamfitters is the best trade

 

Tiny bit of welding today, and tiny bit of welding yesterday

Mocking shit up and tomorrow, it's go time with cutting 3/16" parts by putting the flat pattern I just created to the test

 

You're gonna have to bring her over so she can be a welder

That and so Theo can hang out with his gf

 

I'm a mechE with a compE masters - most my hands on fun is home in the garage; not much at work other than knowing enough to call others bluffin. Sparky's are my best friends/counterparts though fo sure.

4runner has rocksliders to weld up - but hubs gets that project. I might just weld up a cube just because - it's been too dang long. Maybe break out some tig.

 

They are going to make so much cool shit!

 

Then we can stop working completely and let them make money for us

 

Why are there so many engineers in this thread. I swear if i found out any of you mech engineers done the shit as drawing for the jobs i been running we fighting
