The Relentless Fab lowdown thread: whats new, current builds, FAQ’s, etc.

Damn... Seems a bit high. Well you know what that means!!! Sell a couple more kick ass bumpers.

 

Is it just running new circuits and outlets from the breaker panel? Or upgrading the panel itself? For 2500, I assume they're just running some conduit and circuits.

You can DIY that, with a little knowledge from a book like this one:

$33 Basic Home Wiring Illustrated (Sunset Book)

I recommend pulling a building permit and having an inspector inspect your work to make sure that it's all workmanlike and up to code. (Inspections have a bit of a bad rap with contractors, but I found when inspectors were looking at work I was doing myself, they tended to bend over backward to be helpful and instructive.)

 

The existing panel is fine, I'll just be adding breakers(4x 50a 220v) and then running some conduit from a junction in the existing 2" main conduit that runs across the ceiling. From the junction there will be a 50a going about 20ft to the right and then down for the plasma cutter. To the left at the junction is where the other 3 plugs go, spreading them down the other side of the shop(L shaped space). I'm assuming the wire, and then the Labor for running the extra conduit is where cost starts adding up as the conduit will run along the ceiling... Which is steel beam construction and about 20ft high, then down to a workable level for the plugs. Doubt it's a job for ladders, moreso a job for a small scissor lift or moving scaffolding along as they go farther down the wall.

 

If you got a mile long extension cord you can use the plug at the old shop

 

Hey Eric, i like your work from what i've seen here. I need a quote for a 09 DCSB Bolt-on hybrid sliders w/ kick out. Also, what is the estimated lead time. Shipped to 02818. Thank you, Scott

 

The new shop! (blurry cell phone pic)

 

Sliders would run $539+ $150 freight shipping.
Hard to say on lead time, I would estimate around 4mo though

 

Sent you a pm eric

 

Eric, Also sent PM.

 

Any updates on the shop Eric?

 

In the Reno thread he was taking about moving in yesterday.

 

About 90% moved yesterday, now just need to move office stuff, buy some extra shelving for organization, and build a workbench in the back.

 

glad to hear. Your going to be pumping out product now haha.

 

Thats certainly the plan! Going to be doing some job interviews end of the week or beginning of next week

 

Awsome to hear Eric. Keep up the great work.

 

I would like some info on both front and rear plate bumpers for my truck.
Front: Aluminum/ summit tube with filler plates/ Tacoma cut out in the front and fogs
Rear: heavy duty reciver hitch below licence plate
This would be for the 05-11 style.
What would the total be plus shipping through fastenal? Im figuring about a 6-8 month wait or so?

 

I've reached out through several methods and haven't received a response. If you are quoting 4 months then I figure my sliders that I ordered in October should be ready soon. I appreciate any info. PM me please.

 

Yes, they'll be done soon. I've got about 8 sets all grouped together that I'll have my guys start in on this coming week and you're in there.
Sorry for not getting back, been swamped working 12-14hr days moving into a larger shop and getting back set up.

 

has anyone done some extra reinforcing for there front bumpers to frame?? i got needed 3 violant pulls 2 get me out of THICK mud and bent the attachement areas all to Sh*t anyone got ideas or pictures for some heavy duty reinforcing?

 

How is the moving coming along? How soon will you guys be ready to start some buildups? Really interested in some bumpers when yall can get around to it.good luck with the interviews.
