    Yeah that's pretty much what Monte said. :oops: TIG was too slow for general purpose stuff.

    Yeah, messy to put it mildly. Like exploding silly string...

    Thanks man! But more importantly, it marked 6 years of my addiction to these trucks.




    TIG welder should be here Wednesday! :woot: Already bought a bunch of accessories/consumables. Spending most of my free time reading up and watching videos on this process.

    Brilliant! The $4,200 head/valve train would be a good start. :spy:

    Hard to beat the numerous 5 star reviews on Amazon. Machine seems great minus the consumables it came with. Also all the pictures I've seen show a dial type Ar gauge, but mine came with the floating BB style (or whatever you call it) which was a pleasant surprise. Arc seems really smooth, I just gotta take some time to figure out how to work all the settings. :anonymous:

    4" more at ride height. Currently the frame is sitting at about 18.5"-19"

    Can't afford fancy headlights since we blew all our monies on the rest of the truck. :anonymous: :luvya:

    My hydro assist isn't installed yet. I bought a 2" dia unit from TG like 2 years ago but since decided to do it right and go with a 1.75" dia PSC unit. U4 4500 class doesn't allow for full hydro.
