Anything welding

First shop I inquired wants $500 for the whole job. I thought that was crazy.

These the bolts? Says one per wheel; I'm guess one kit per wheel?

 

$500 is a ridiculous amount

those if you want aftermarket ones. 2 kits needed. or get new toyota sets. honestly depends if yours are frozen in the bushings or not. if they are the lca is easier to just replace. (hence why i just went LT)

 

Yeah, that's high. Prop it up in your garage, prep it, have a mobile welder stop by and burn them in ($120/hr in my area).

Two sets of those bolts yes. I picked mine up from the dealership.

 

Part # for the OEM cam bolts?

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of anyone or shop that welds sliders on to the vehicle. I am hoping for some southbay locations if possible

 

I bought a hobart handler mig welder, 120 volt ac, welds up to 5/16 mild steel. If you go with a mig unit get the shielding gas argon co2 your welds will look pretty good with just a little practice. There are alsomany good youtube videos on basic welding. Good luck

 

I wish I could afford that logic lmao.

Buy new cam bolts and bushings.... OR... full long travel kit

Fuck a $200 fix. $5,000 is much more affordable lmao

 

well if you want to get technical i spent $2700. haha. granted that was a deal.

 

Curious, why do you need bolts?

Find out if yours are actually frozen in the bushings. If they come apart, you won't need new bolts/bushings.

They are always frozen here in the salt belt, not so much but in the desert/south areas.

 

@geekhouse23 lives in chicago they probably are frozen, lol.

 

That is a deal. But you know what I'm getting at lol

 

Yeah, those are most definitely froze.

 

The front ones are the worst. I just did mine (east coast truck for 5yrs) and the front ones had to be cut out. Rears came out okay but I replaced them anyway.

 

ordered the 2 of the wheelers kits today!

 

i had to cut one rear bolt out completely,1 front bolt completely, and the other front sleeve. not fun

 

Embarking on an epic journey of plate bumper-ness. With @Cid pics to follow.

 

I love this little machine

 

Not much to look at but bumper mount almost done just need to drill holes to mate with stock locations on the front. And weld some flat stock across the top and maybe bottom for more support

Clamped the winch mount on to see how we were looking and maybe thinking weld it to the new mount instead of bolting because we will be building off it and more than likely will take more than one good hit in it's life.

We did some Practice holding size between bends with a shorter piece.

Jon had that digital angle finder that was recommended in this thread and it was nice to have

 

Got to play with the new plasma just a bit today. Started with a 10’ folding chair cart, cut it up, and glued it back together. It will be my metal work cart / table and will have space for my mig, tank, plasma, grinder, hood, cords, etc.







Got the frame pieces together, but probably won’t get back to it until next weekend at the earliest.





I did crank up the heat on my mig and it was hot! I think the angle is 3/16”

I wish I would have cleaned the material better and maybe turned down the heat. I blasted through a few spots on the legs. Also glad I had my respirator on, i def caught a wiff or two.
