    If I had 1/10th of Landon's welding skills I'd be saving some $$$ going to use a friends welder this week and work on a climbing wall for the garden. I'll post a few shots and you will see why I get to pay for fab work...

    Wow a bunch of whining going on in here. Bottom line, anyone can do fab work. It just depends how serious you take it and how much you want to learn. It's just like learning to color inbetween the lines when you are a kid. Same concept goes with fab. I never worked at a shop and only took one welding class but I knew where I wanted to go and just practiced. On another note some people don't like to so the work and if they can afford for someone to do it for them then more power to them! Hell I wish all the time that I could just pay someone to work ony crap but its not in the books for me so I do it myself. In the end all that matters is we are out in the dirt having a good time beating up our trucks!

    You guys should do a Tacoma World race. One loop on the Mint 400 course and has to be able to drive back to the strip. Then you guys can finally figure out who wins this circle jerk going on here about who uses their truck or who's is better. Winner gets a weld it yourself trophy.
