New England Mod & Meetup Thread: May 17 at Jared’s!!

I'm out of work until Monday myself.
Haven't done SHIT for Christmas shopping yet....

 

I read the 1st part to this line too quickly!

 

Feeling any better?

 

Getting there. Was able to get around yesterday. Going to try and get through the day without any muscle relaxers. Just moving and stretching. Still sore, and if I step wrong, or, lean over the sink, etc, I get a reminder....

Just need to remember I'm not a kid anymore, and I can't keep doing these jobs the way I do...

 

Whatd you get for a welder?

I think with JDF you could get a steel skid, Ive seen them.

Wuts stock or resale value? I am seeing this truck to the crusher if it ever happens

 

Primeweld Mts200, once it’s in stock.

i believe the steel skid of only on transfer case?? I need to read more but it also won’t work with my current mid skid without work.

resale… I would sale my DK lowers to offset the price for alternative lowers. Jd fab, I foot the bill. Decisions

 

Sweet, I cant wait to get a

$869 Tig225 X 225 Amp IGBT AC DC Tig/Stick Welder with Pulse CK17 Flex Torch and Cable

Tig225, But I think next piece of equipment is plasma table.

You bought a welder, anything is compatible with anything now.

Good point on that didnt even think of that

 

John are you talking LCA skids or a different IFS skid? If so, I avoid LCA skids. Just traps dirt and water. We burn through LCAs before scratches that a skid prevents would be an issue.

These
Solo also makes them. Going on sale Friday and he’s honoring old prices plus the sale.

 

I'd still go jd, I trust their cradle way more than slapping more metal on factory tin (mostly cuz my shit is already folded ), for the cost of those lowers you get the pivot and upper arms designed to work with it, and it does come with a steel option for the skid. I don't know how beefy it is but as stated you're going to have metal glue so

 

Oh, this as well lmao

 

Morning

 

Howdy

 

Getting rid of factory tabs is alot. And like its not crazy expensive for what you are getting.

Skid + alignment hardware + alignment tabs is in the $5-600 ballpark

edit if you can burn it on yourself....

 

The uppers are sealed too, lots of angle on em

 

Hi

 

Guess I cleared some shelves…couldn’t resist the price. I’ll grab some leafs in the next few weeks.
Y’all are a bad influence

 

You also might want to grab some limit straps and some realllllllly long brake lines while you are at it. I am finally grabbing the 12" shocks this weekend on Saturday during the TFT meet. I might be needing Jacks welding services....

 

Getting the pack tonight didint work out, my lug nuts were all loose somehow on the passenger side. Getting it this weekend tho
