    All I care about is if they'd pass a U4 tech inspection.

    You still have that frame? Maybe we could save it. You know, for the next build....

    :spy:

    The body is the first thing that gives a vehicle character IMO. A buggy is born for off-road and is expected to perform exceptionally well. Personally, I find it more interesting when you take a stock vehicle and push its physical limits.


    Plus, (it's a stretch at this point but) I still wanna drive this thing on the road. :eek:

    welds look pretty good Jonathan. Looks like you could still turn up your heat just a bit for deeper penetration, but you're very close with that. Wire speed is a bit fast too, that's why you're getting a little bit of buildup rather than a weld the lays nice and flat.

    Looks like you're using .030 wire? Have you tried .035?

    But I'm getting nit-picky. Everything is looking good.

    No no, PLEASE be nit-picky. :eek: I can't afford to have shitty welds on a cage.

    I'm running a 210MVP on 115V and set at the '6' (out of 7) with wire speed ~23. Wire is .035, 75/25 mix gas. At around 20-21 on the wire speed seems too slow and starts running back into the nozzle. I was worried the voltage set at '7' would be too hot and start undercutting the tube but admittedly, I haven't tried it.

    I'm wondering if it's technique too. I seem to get mixed up in regards to which direction I should be going with the puddle (clockwise/counter-clockwise) depending on the angle, plus my brain can't seem to decide to push or pull the puddle.

    Thanks for the help!

    I would push the puddle since you aren't working with slag.

    Jon, what you need to do now is turn it into a rock buggy, use the tacoma sheet metal for parts of the body, and leave it at that.
    kinda like this but with a solid axle and tacoma badges.
