Anything Manufacturing - Small to Medium Scale Metal Work (CAD/CAM included!)

I was able to find a pitman arm from a 2wd Toyota pickup that has the taper the way I needed. I just had to "machine" the Toyota master splines (2x inny) to work on the Nissan Xterra box (4x master splines outy).

 

inkscape is free and has a decent trace function.

 

Super excited this thing is awesome.

 

Time to start posting here often

 

One of my favorites as well.

 

I wish I could mess with it more. Doing a big side job for a local on here this weekend, a 63 swap on a 2nd gen. Then random stuff around the house.

I seriously was not expecting it to come in 5 days but I couldn't just leave it in the boxes....

Ordered a motorguard and desiccant filter so that should help out my air until I can get a better compressor that I'll do some mods to.

Emptied my tank last night and there was at least a cup or two of water in there.

 

Perfect!

You can make new leaf spring hangers; do 2nd Gens get a frenched setup?

 

Nope not frenched. I wouldnt do that unless I fully boxed the frame

 

My truck itll happen sooner or later....

 

The old guy in the machine shop was wondering how it would cut aluminum and stainless so I gave it a try.

The stainless definitely has some what would be called sugaring in the welding world. Aluminum looks great. All of this was first cut using kind of book settings. Not dialed in by any means, I haven't done any of that just still playing with it.
