North DFW meetup (wrench)

Thanks Adam

We should have my welder good to go for Stainless here pretty soon. From what I found

I need to get: different gas and different wire.

 

Can you define "pretty soon"?

 

Idk If by the meet. Sorry. If we go out to Tyler for Barnwell mountain we could do it then unless you come out for Bridgeport again


Have you tried a muffler shop? Couldn't be more than $25 to weld just the muffler.

 

Yeah I haven't gotten around to going to a muffler shop in the last 2 years that I've been saying I should get this welded. The meet was basically an excuse for me to force myself to have it done.

 

Stainless requires special equipment and training. Unless someone is an exotic metals welder, there are very few who can do it right, especially if it needs to be some sort of pressure vessel. Best bet is to hit the military form and see if any of the Navy guys there are nuke types that weld. Those guys do a lot of stainless...

 

Hey is New Colin coming to the meet?

 

He sure is and he said he will need an impact wrench so he replastiderp his rims

 

Wait...you sold your truck to.....yourself?

And I'm bringing my impact wrench for the spring compressors.

 

Yeah I'm over it after I saw the comments above. Clamps will have to do.

 

I'm reading conflicting info here

it was suppose to be a joke as if I was speaking for the new owner as if he knew about the meet
your losing it Keith

 

I was hoping he would have joined already and be lurking.

And I'm not losing it.....

 

I've just been trying to see if I can weld stainless because I need to weld some stainless stuff.

 

I was hoping the same thing

 

My tool inventory:

• Jack + 2 stands
• Breaker bar
• Single set of sockets and wrenches
• right angle grinder
• various eletrical wiring components
• small and large sledges
• Small pry/impact bar
• corded regualr drill (non-impact)
• about 3 100ft extension cords, various smaller ones
• some various bolts from my tacoma (mostly front end)
• Air compressor
• 140lbs torque wrench (the crappy needle one)

So bring what you can/think we need.

 

Also, weather is looking horrible for this week.... I hope it stops raining by thursday! otherwise it's going to be a tight ship (no lawn parking)

 

Alright let's get a list going of what everyone is bringing or is able to bring if needed now that we know what Kevin has

Keith:
-Air tools, including impact wrench, rotary and reciprocating cutoff tool,
-Air compressor if needed (mine is pretty big, portable would be better)
-electric angle grinder/cutoff tool
-quick-lift 3.5 ton jack (can lift 21 inches and get the lifted trucks in the air easily)
-4 jack stands
-fiberglass and bondo for satoshi grille
-torque wrench
-various hand tools
-2 folding chairs

What time is everyone planing on getting there? It's a two hour drive for me.

 

Updated my post, I have a portable. and I've got a ton of chairs.

also, I'll be there SUPER EARLY I'll be up and ready to go at 8am

 

So I shouldn't show up at 6am?

 

You might meet my pistol and 3 loving dogs... but in the end, you'll be waiting outside until 8
