You might want to consider fixing that. Maybe.

 

Looks like the front fell off.

 

Ill consider it. Maybe.

 

I am totally crazy as of now - so much pain I have slept about 2 hours in the last two days. Waiting on Dr. office to answer phone and help me decide which ER to go to. Something is not right.

 

Rough sex and rough off roading are not the same. Oh wait - maybe they are close to the same. You need to do some mall crawling once and a while.

 

Yeah its crazy what you find when you take off body panels. I havent quite figured out my repair approach yet.

 

That sucks, hopefully nothing too serious.

 

I thought about jsut welding flat bar in front of or behind it but I figured it will just crack around that. I guess something is better than nothing.

 

Tubing the front crossed my mind. But then I remembered I dont have a garage.

 

Welding up those cracks in the core support is a lost cause. Only real fix is to cut it of a fab a new one.

 

I welded an 1/8 inch plate on top of mine. So far so good, but it's only a matter of time before it fails again.

 

I'd rid myself of the crumple zones with frame plating. I plan on that in the 4runner this next winter.

 

My brain tells me it is just going to tear around the plate. But I guess it buys some time.

 

When you cut off the front of the frame for that SAS building a new core support out of tube is the way

 

That's why you shouldn't use your brain.

 

think with your beers, not your brain

 

They are one in the same

 

well they say it is something that happens when you have surgery on your lower colon - what they did not say was the surgery (for me anyway) made my entire GI track shut down. Getting it restarted is no fun and is where my pain is.

 

Anyone know if this old SCUBA tank will work for a portable co2 system?

Edit - doesn't have to be co2 I suppose. I can just continue to use compressed air if conversion is inconvenient. More so just want to know if it's worth taking this tank for free or not.
