    So I'm new. I live in Philly, work in NJ. I browsed a lot of threads and their are some truly skilled members here, especially in the PA/NJ area. With that being said. Who wants to teach me how to weld? Go over my truck as it sits now, and make some recommendations. I see guys like @HomerTaco and @theHunter who appear to have their shit together, so calling all TW boys!

    Well, I appreciate the kind words. However, I have no clue how to weld metal. :oops:

    What exactly are you looking for in a recommendation? It would help to know exactly what your intentions are for your truck in order to point you in the right direction. ;)

    Also: @The Hunter does not by any means have his "shit together"

    :laughing:

    well, i did suspension, wheels and tires.
    fox 2.5 coilovers up front w/ remote resi. i swapped out the 600#coils for icon 700# coils in preparation for a pelfreybilt bumper & warn zeon.
    total chaos UCA
    Fox 2.5 Rear Shocks with Remote Resi.
    Toytec AAL (Which is getting swapped out for some OME Dakar leaf packs.

    Did the extended brake line & diff drop kit. I haven't done any kind of bump stops or u bolt flips or anything like that. I'm penny pinch for the total chaos LCAs. Not sure what else I should get into. Judgeing by your build threads, you guys seem like a solid authority on the suspension subject.

    Truth. Im a shit show. But I can lay a decent weld bead.

    Only thing falling apart in my life more than myself is my Volkswagen. Its down again. Another coolant leak. But quick fix today and I ordered all new cast aluminum fittings. TRY AND BREAK THIS SHIT NOW.

    Uhhh. Because people like to use their trucks for things other than driving. I can not only take my truck on road but offroad too. I can enjoy a leisurely drive through rocky back roads and mud with no care in the world. And over some rather rough terrain.

    You need to get wheelers super bumps ASAP. You also should get the Dirt King LCAs instead of the Total Chaos LCAs. DK has more gussests and strength.

    Yeah worse than you.
