Calling all Virginians (Tidewater area)

I'd have to say most of them are playing to get their payday in the nfl.

And I would rather watch college

 

Not sure I would say most but some most definitely are. Even still they are playing with that as a goal and it reflects.

To whom it may concern,

If you are think or were thinking at any point to do business with Wheelers Offroad, I ask that you strongly reconsider. I just got through with quite the ordeal with them and to say that I am displeased would be a gross understatement. I have had a few successful orders from them in the past so this is quite shocking and eyeopening to me personally.
Long story short, I messaged back and forth with Dan yesterday about getting an order together. After several pms we were able to figure out exactly what I wanted for the price I was willing to pay. It was all just recovery gear, their straps and such. Then I call him to give credit card info and run through the order once again, everything seems ok, so we go ahead with the order over the phone and I thank him and we end the call. This morning I check my bank account and find out that the charge to Wheelers is almost $20 more than what we had agreed to in pms and over the phone. So I pm Dan and wait... When they open and Dan logs on he responds, explaining that there was some sort of communication error and he was never saying that he was figuring in shipping charges, even though I typed shipped after every price I asked about. I explain to him that I am not sure why the confusion and that it doesnt give me a good feeling, because it seems a fast one was tried. He replies back that he wasnt trying to pull a fast one and that he can refund part of the shipping and let the package continue or he can just cancel the order. I let him know that I would like to continue with the order because I do not want the money tied up and prevent me from actually getting the gear I want and that it would be easiest to just put this behind us and learn from it. Afterall, the end result would only vary by a bit more than $10. So i go ahead with my day not hearing a response from Dan and expecting my package to continue to be on time.

2 hours later, I get an email from UPS informing me that Wheelers placed a return order on the package and that the shipment was now stopped. I try to contact Dan, no response. I call and talk to a manager and his explanation is that he didnt want some customer out there bad mouthing them on the forums so he told Dan to refund the money and cancel the shipment. I inform him of the deal that Dan had proposed and he acknowledges that he sees the communication between the two of us in pms, and then later in the conversation completely backs out of any prior knowlege of what Dan was doing and says that Dan was told shortly after opening to just cancel my order and give me a refund and that Dan must have acted out on his own to offer me the split shipping cost deal. So I point out to him that the deal was proposed around 11 am their time. At this point he begins to just circle the conversation.

I realize that the refund was issued, and I am not mad about the monetary part of things. Hell truth be told I would have had no problem paying for shipping yesterday if he would have told me i had to. What I am upset by is that THEY offered 2 different options to me and later withdrew both after an agreement was reached, 1 the option of the order and price for it, and 2 the split shipping charges. At no point was I informed that THEY were going to go in and manipulate the agreed upon part and change it, nor that they had even done it. I had to find both out myself. THAT is the part that pisses me off.

So in summary, dont believe what they tell you, dont think that they will honor their word, and DONT think that management will make any attempt at correcting things to try to satisfy you, even if you are willing to share the burden with them.

This will be the absolute last time the get the opportunity at my business. I hope others can use this to learn and avoid future happenings that cause them displeasure.

 

These were both Pro comp 6 inch it looked like.

 

I have been welding for years and have done it professionally for over 3 years now. I can weld with any technique and they all have their uses. application specific. It really all depends on what you want to do. learn to weld. build crap for your truck. learn so you can weld for a living and if so what type....pipe in the field is mostly stick unless it is high pressure and that is usually TIG.

while the basic principles are the same there are slight differences that are unique to each style.

For my home shop i am upgrading from my 110 snap-on. it is a little beast, but a bit pricey compared to other 110 machines. mine does have a spool gun attachment that i have for aluminum.

I will be upgrading to the Millermatic 252 which i have used for years at the job. I also like the Miller Diversion 180. It is an AC/DC TIG setup. 110 OR 220. weighs only 50# and for the majority of work i do is all i need. plus at $1800 it is significantly cheaper then a synchrowave.

fell free to shoot me any questions about welding or metal fabrication. I will also try and put together a list of good machines to start to learn with. IMO MIG is the best to learn on. it isn't just about how to weld, but the preparation of the metal and how welding effects the steel.

It is all about preparation. the welding is the last step once everything is measured, squared, then tacked together.

You willing to weld on the weekends? I have some stuff coming up this year that I'm going to need welded on the truck.

 

Let me know when ur move is going to happen. i'll buy you a beer b.c moving sucks

 

You bet i am. what do you have in mind?

 

Hopefully at the end of the month if I can find a place to rent in Midlothian.

Headlight hoops on the front bumper and cab mount chop. May go to weld-on sliders as well.

 

If you want to give me some specifics on what you want to rent i can look around for you. It might help with narrowing down the search. no worries either way.

as for your truck, that stuff is very doable. i also have a 5ton floor jack and several sets of jack stands
