NW WA Meet / BS Thread

If that doesn't apply to tacomaworld, then tacomaworld is wrong.

 

Stick welds; shitty ground and poor prep for life yo! That's what I'd call a crusher weld. Goodenuff!

 

Worked with a guy who was a pilot welder. Just pile-it on and cross your fingers.

I had some welding projects planned for this morning til I fired up the welder. Running out of gas sucks when it's a Sunday.

 

All will be clear in a few days....hopefully haha

That being said, I got about 5 coats of Primer/Paint combo on it today. In prep for the final “weld to frame” step.

Also, there will be a prerunner bumper built around the winch

 

Has anyone here gotten their frame replaced under extended warranty, and if so, where?

 

I've... actually never heard that before.

 

Look what I found...

 

Poorly maintained grass and a guy that had no clue how to back a trailer?

 

What’s the square thing with the brackets?
Oh a motorcycle wheel tie down
Eyes getting bad

 

Front tire of the motorcycle goes there? I'll borrow any trailer so I don't have to run some tubing through my back window.

 

Back up enough trailers, and eventually your give a fuck disappears.

 

I need help troubleshooting CB. Swr readings are to high, I ran a ground to the frame and 1 to the body which lowered the reading. I'm still hitting just about 3 on channel 1 and it's in the red on 40. Thoughts? Want make sure I'm not missing something else before I try lowering the antenna.

 

Only reason ive kept the canopy (well one reason)....so nice to just toss shit like that up on the bars and to have to deal with a trailer

 

where are you connecting the SWR meter at? (hint: as close to the CB unit as possible)
did you tune the tip (hint: firestik2)
what location are you tuning at? (hint: I tuned at Lake Sammamish state park in the soccer fields parking lot and there was no other cars to interfere with my tuning)
do you have that stupid plastic washer on? (hint: say yes)

@Digiratus

 

Is the antenna bracket powder coated? Using a fire ring by chance or another antenna connector?

I'm using a firestik and their fire ring. Had to grind off the powder coat on the bracket where the bolts connect. That grounds the bracket and then the nylon washers make it so the fire ring antenna mount is not grounded. I guess that's the key.

 

This

 

no powder, no paint.

 

Do you have any coils in the antenna coax cable?
