MOD DAY in Clearwater

Actually, these are the kind of benches you put on your porch or patio for people to sit on. That said, we could probably work something out. How big were you looking for? My hand loading bench is 6' (L)x 31" (W)x37" (H) and has a shelf built over it like a hutch.

Keep in mind, mine is a little crude since all I had when I built it was a circular saw and there's a few things I would have done differently if I had it to do over again. 'Scuse the mess. Was werkin'.

 

your spindles look so sweet, did you have them done in tampa? i wonder if i still have time to get them powdercoated

 

This is the link I posted for Aerial Tacoma. Don't know if this is where he went but they are on Park Blvd in Pinellas Park, so it's close to home.

 

Thank you, they looked better when they were new, I only had one choice for a powder coater so I kind of had to take what I got.. You'll see on saturday..

I got mine done in NC, I highly recommend getting some kind of protective coating on them, even if you just spray them down with a rattle can.

 

Btw Lee, you won't be the only 1st gen. Blackhorse has an 04.

 

i'm assuming it's cuse it'll rust real easy right? i thought they have that e-coating to prevent that, i know theres the places with the bare (is it iron?) that you didn't powdercoat?

 

Rgr that.

 

Its hard to explain 100%, so I figured I'd let a few pictures do the talking for me. You can see the layer of rust on the top (and the 1/2 A$$ powder coating job I got, theres only 1 place close to where I was, so I didn't have any choice)

I just wouldn't want that rust layer all over, I think it would look awful…

and mine is only a few months old…..

 

dayum, thanks for the pic, but isn't that top part (the machined non-coated part) not supposed to be painted or powdercoated? because I saw the pics that you got powdercoated white, they taped off all the machined parts

 

to be 100% honest, I don't know from a machining standpoint, but I can't imagine throwing a layer of anything to stop the rust would effect the functionality of what they do, and I think it would help visually a million percent…..

 

i agree with ya

 

anybody have additional wood boards, planks, or even garden cement blocks that they wouldn't mind bringing to mod day, i've got some normal size jack stands, but i think we're gonna need a few extra inches

 

cancel that on the boards, sprucetaco's got it covered

 

At least they are calling for nice weather for Saturday. High of 74 with 0% chance of rain.

 

That's good, get this crap weather out of the way today.

 

Whats that orange crap on that magazine? Kick ass bench though. Got me thinking I need to do something with my garage...

 

I do not see why they didn't do the top. As long as they didn't get any in the hole where the UCA bolt goes I would think it would be fine. They probably were not that familiar with the part or something and did not want to chance screwing up you stuff?? Dunno tho. The CST's that I have now are powder coated except the hole for the UCA. They did it not me and everything is fine, I mean they work and everything, so maybe they were just concerned with functionality??

 

It's a warning sticker Ruger put on it that advises that the gun can still fire w/o the magazine...or at least what's left of it after a few hundred rounds.

Thanks though. It's not perfect, but it does the job. What you can't really see in the pic is that I also have a couple of flo lights mounted under the shelf. They light up the work area nicely.

 

I wonder what the deals are gonna be

they have it on the homepage now

http://www.4wheelparts.com/

if someone hits up 4wheelparts before the meet, can see what the deals on the hi lifts are?

 

1 day........
