Cool, thanks for the info... I am thinking of getting some soon and just wondered if or how much needed to be trimmed.

 

i'm ordering a electric call and 2 diaphram calls tonight, i'll see if my grandpa can set up a trail cam to see where the turkeys are.

and i've got a blind, it's fall colors instead of spring though if thats a problem or not.

 

It's a lot of fun building, I love fabbing stuff.



What I don't like is how backwards Trail-Gear engineers their products for these trucks, and their weak metal they use. Knowing what I know now, I would have rather bought joints, heims, and DOM and designed a 3 link instead of chopping things sideways for leafs.


Beard is permanent.

 

Where do you work? I need some serious bottles filled for good price Oxy, Ace, and Argons, all BIG suckers.


Ive got a dozen victors, thank you though. Will keep you in mind.

 

I've never had good luck with electric calls, I just use the hand held scratch calls. But turkeys aren't really that smart haha, the color of the blind shouldn't matter.

 

Trinity torch and regulator repair in Bartlett TN. Its my dads business that one day ill take over. we dont refill bottles, but tell me where you live at and I will make a call and find out the cheapest store for ya to go to. I heard rumor yesterday that some tractor supply stores are beating nexair and airgas prices on oxy and ace, but not sure how true that is. All we do at our shop is repair torches and regulators. We fix for all the main welding companies and dont normally do private parties but since your a yota guy I dont mind.

 

also im not 100% sure. but i the electric calls are illegal in TN. not sure. i’ll look it up later.


(maybe they were a few years ago but now are not

edit: i never used one don’t even own one. so i’m not sure.

 

I think you're correct sir.

 

I think I'm getting a car. Need the mpgs. What do you guys think a good asking price would be? 09 sr5 4x4 double cab almost 37k miles.

If I sell it. Someone still take me on the trails?

 

Hate to see u lose the taco but sounds like a smart idea

 

I know it's a little far off. But next year I will need to get a car. Something to get rid of payments and ill be traveling 100 miles a day.

Might as well get rid of payments now and get some extra cash in my pocket

 

what kinda welder yall think i should get? just looking at what i need, and how much $$$$.

i was thinking something like a miller 175 or something kinda like it. idk yet. want o get it and than learn to use it and make a roof rack, than get LED light bar.

 

That's where it starts. Go with that or bigger. 125 is way too small.

 

said 175. but right now i don’t need something really big. only going to make stuff for me and maybe some local guys on here. if i ever need something bigger than i’ll get something bigger when i need it. till than something kinda small should work fine!

 

I'm just saying don't get a 125.

250 would be nice. That's what I would go with. From my experience I always wanted a bigger welder. Had a 125 and 175. But I found myself at my buddys everyday for his welder.

And tools.

 

yeah i’m still looking at some. think i’m going to go with a mig and have gas set up and everything. makes the best welds, some say it’s a little harder to learn on but oh well.

 

I have had good luck and lots of welding with my Hobart 187 Handler. Never let me down and I work it quite often.


I somehow broke a Miller 252 (millermatic) the other week, sent it into a protect mode.

 

Harder to learn with mig?
There's a welding thread on here. Ill have to send you a link from my lap top. Teaches you a lot about welding. Different techniques etc.

 

Hey guys, I'm new here, just figured I'd stop by to say hey

 

Not being a jerk but dont plan on making anything anytime soon. Just doesn't work like that. To do a mig/gas set up plan on spending alot of money......alot of money. Find a torn down/abandoned building to get scrap metal and practice laying a decent bead first. My suggestion for a cheap way to learn is find a used stick welder (Craigslist,newspaper,eBay) you can buy flux coated welding rods and burn them up way cheaper than what gas runs nowadays and your spool of wire for mig at to cheap either considering you are learning and gonna run right through it.... That's not including the fact you gotta buy a good helmet, gloves, and jacket. in my eyes solar power helmets are the only way to go.
