He gonna drop it

 

I spent an alarmingly large part of my youth being accidentally burned by my dad's cigarettes .. he was a camel full flavor kinda guy tho lol

 

I made a smelter out of a trash can similar to that one. I used a smaller size made out of slightly bigger gauge steel and lined the inside with a Terra cotta pot. Filled the void between the pot and the can with special curated cement. But that I mean I took a bag of ceramic brikettes (which were intended to evenly spread the heat on a propane grill) and crushed it into a powder, then mixed the powder into the cement mixture to increase its heat resistance. Ran the smelter off normal charcoal brikettes for a grill and a hairdryer lol.

Worked like a charm for aluminum, could even get hot enough to do bronze. But I ruined it attempted to melt down mild steel, which is cool cause I was amazed it could get hot enough to melt brass by itself

 

That's badass. I love casting, but I get annoyed with aluminium so I stick to PVC my dad and I have built a few forges over the years for pounding steel. that's fun!

Kilns are usually made kinda like abeyancer made his smelter, tbh

 

This shouldn't pass because those high beams arnt dot approved... but I don't think my guy will care

 

My neighbor with a really clean 98 Tacoma just came over and asked if I had the tools to do tie rods. So I think I just made a friend anyway lol

 

I just cross-referenced this conversation with the drive through Titus Canyon.

-100/10 would not recommend being there in a flood.

 

Yeah probably not a good place to be in a flood situation haha

Also wouldn't recommend with a header dumped 3RZ @m3bassman knows what I'm talking about

 

Oof, I can imagine that getting old real fast.

 

We fixed it at striped butte, I had to borrow his shooting muffs haha

 

Should there be a crossmember there in that last pic?

 

Bluetooth mod

 

He did the delete.

 

Fun story, and topical... I saw an F-150 for sale with "muffler delete" listed in the description.

 

I did the delete haha. That's a 4cyl automatic frame and I manual swapped her. So I used the transfercase style mount from Front Range Offroad which give you the bonus of being able to go flat belly.

 

Ah cool, I did notice that brace and was wondering about it... but I'm only used to seeing the underside of a standard cab. Who knows what sort of things you long-wheelbase folk have going on underneath.

 

Ignoring the bonkers price... this could be fun to run into the ground.

how could you possibly ignore the price, though?

 

I'm pretty sure your tinnitus was made worse from that trip.

As far as the second time you am I were there, I remember being real uncomfortable with the first hike we did in the rain lol

 

It's made a fan or air conditioner mandatory for me in quiet sleeping areas haha. I still get my best sleep camping
