For steel?

That's a terrible idea

 

That's a fair point, it's a little bit of a stretch to get there, party, and head home in the same day though.

@Wulf
I'm up for short notice trips. Cooler temps and less crouds make the later season far more appealing to me. Might even be able to leave the AC turned off

 

I got a teaser shot of this today already too haha, those tig welds were looking much better than my 120v Flux-Core mig hack job

 

We talking Utah yeah?

 

I bent some arms for one of my trucks with the bottle jack method. Felt pretty dumb because I also had a press in storage at the time.

 

Ooouch, the bushings can seize up that badly in the arms huh

 

Mostly, I'd be down for a little CO or AZ trip too, maybe even something in NM

 

I don't know shit in NM yet. Just the little bit I got out and saw Saturday. But remember, NM is high elevation, the valley starts at 5k ft. Late season probably would be a challenge to be in the mountains. Same with Colorado. Plus I'm a pussy and would bring my van in case it snows

 

Mine should be fine (famous last words), they were new oem a year ago and might be a smidge harder to bend with the Eimkeith reinforcement plates. But my buddy also has access to an alignment rack and stuff so I'm happy to do it at his place. At least If shit gets hairy with all that it'll gime me an excuse to go long travel

 

We just out here hot rodding

 

I'm almost at 6k without leaving the garage.
If it gets cold I'll snuggles up with you in the van

 

AZ trip

 

Gonna have to fight the dog for such a pleasure. Seriously I is cozy. Only need the furnace when it gets to the teens.

 

@Tour991

Was feeling like tough shit playing Street Fighter Alpha

Until I threw on Crazy Taxi, fuck I'm bad at this

 

I'll check my local metal places

 

Seems well built anyway

 

Up until February of this year I was snuggled up with 2 dogs almost every night so I'll feel right at home.
We're down to one padfoot now

 

You're already trippin

 

I'd kill for a friend with an alignment rack. I've had to give up on getting anything but my own eyeball alignments pretty much. Everywhere in this town rips steering rack boots in half.

 

I guess so. I remember going to install mine after pressing in whiteline bushings and realizing my mistake.
