Anything welding

I must be that guy!

 

In my case it was a women and the working capital for the business

 

nice work,
what gauge steel are the panels between the bars?

 

11 gauge mild steel. Matches the. 120 wall tube pretty close in thickness.

 

Made myself a new ground cable tonight. Easily double the wire size so i hope it runs smoother next time i give it a try. The old one you could see insulation melting at the ground clamp.

Got to use my hydraulic crimper for the first time since i bought it a couple years ago, haha

 

I would 100% pass it though the bumper. There are some insane forces at play in a recovery and can be from any different angle. Even if the weld stays good, I bet you’d bend the recovery point fairly easily.

 

Where's the crimped end Pr0n?

 

Welded up some blocks today.

 

Looks like you is holding out your hand for a tip.
I'm a fabricator too, I gots no monies to give you.

 

Hahahaha just noticed the glove on the floor

 

Gave the last of it to the to the strippers again .

Better that then buying Chinese knock offs .

 

This weekend I worked on my hot glue skills. Didn't finish, but will be able to get back to it in two weeks to complete. Still need to cover the diff bumpout, add gussets, drill an oil drain hole, make some spacers for the rear bolts since the crossmember is not flat, and finish weld everything. About $70 in 3/16" plate for this one piece, compared to $180 for the cheapest off the shelf option, and it was a fun project. Have enough plate to make skids for trans and t-case as well, those will come eventually

 

Yeah I like extending the tow points to the frame if you can. I don't think they'd hold up under the four wheeling you do.

This is our acetylene manifold system.
There is a second bank out of view

 

What in the world do you use that much Acetylene for that you need that much volume ?

 

trades college.
its still suprises me every time I see that many bottles.

 

Ok that makes sense.

No Doubt some reason the school is not allowed to generate there own.

I recall when that plant exploded in KY I think everyone could not get any or was limited for some time or switched to propane

 

Regardless, that's a lot of calcium carbonate to make that much gas.

I remember when I thought I was the shit having a calcium carbonite head lamp to go spelunking (caving).

Water and rocks made the gas to light our single burner lights.
