it's a bit far but my buddy has an extended cab ranger he'll be selling in a bit

 

My buddy’s younger brother is visiting him this weekend. I stopped by and the kid accidentally threw a football and dinged the driver fender on my 04.

It’s the guy that let me live at his house these past few months so I didn’t have it in me to say anything. Wish I had been in the 99.

 

Welded these things for a friend, still not convinced they do anything, but oh well, they were fun to weld at least.

 

Aren't the coil buckets more suspect than anything else?

 

Yeah, they're what I would beef up first for sure

 

Grandpa got her a Heep



She's not old enough to operate it herself, can't even reach the pedals lol. But it's got a remote control so I'm having fun driving her around the yard

 

I called it

 

I've read about the nightmare it is to weld up in there, unless you start removing/uninstalling shit.

Welding in tight spaces, and upside down are things I commonly hear are a bitch to do.

Can't wait to learn

Of course I'll be bugging the shit out of some of you for suggestions/help/advice.

 

I agree, not sure they do anything, but they are worth 10 cool points. Plus it good welding practice.

 

Those Tundra ones are like $450 for the 12v, this was under $200 and I figure she doesn't really care what model it is lol

 

Its not bad. Bitchy people will bitch about anything.

 

All I know is I'm stoked to start.

 

She'll have a blast that's for sure.

 

Made it

 

Really shows how big the 5th gen 4Runner is there.

 

My advice is to get just a cotton button up welding jacket from your local supplier instead of a heavy leather one. Also get a pair of thin tig gloves and learn to mig/stick in them. Being able to breathe and get comfortable will make welding way more comfortable.

 

Yep. 100s aren't all that big.

 

Hmmm

I'll need to see what local suppliers are near me and figure sizing.

I'm a medium for shirts/jackets in Everything except Carhartt.

Zane suggested Tillman gloves (they're stupid affordable) which looked good. Just need to figure out what size will work for me.

What do you use exactly?
