Same here lol, jealous of all the guys with their $5k budgets around here!

I was curious more than anything. I definitely need some door panels down the line as I have none, but those rear cargo panels are going to be a no go :hillbilly:

Well if some falls off the truck or gets scratched im always in the market. lol I dont usually work with aluminum but I could probably even just do some 16ga cold rolled

I emailed SMS Headliners regarding pricing and this is what they sent: $675 includes shipping in the US. 3-4 weeks possibly sooner to make ready for shipment after payment is received. 2 ea kick panels 2 ea front door panels 2 ea b pillar...

Halfway through that second video watching the pro weld up that V10 block. I don't know squat about welding and this stuff is blowing my mind.

Ol’ Lee in the frame department. Never held a stick of 7018 in his life until he transferred out of the sanitation department after having a dispute with his foreman, in which he was blamed for lackluster toilet cleaning skills. His coworker...

It’s a good sign when 6 out 6 start up after 3 months of not being touched. Glad we have a spare pig around. Shipping is all messed up right now with pasha and matson having ships down. 4 months wait to get my wife’s pig back in the islands...

I made these several years ago.

I sold my 55 awhile back but still poke around to see what's up, lol.

Diamond plate should be banned, smooth aluminum sheet metal looks so much better. I may have a biased opinion though since I am surrounded by it all the time at work.

Just got my 71 back from the windshield replacement shop The glass was supplied by a national supplier FYG. $169 to the windshield installer. He got it in 3 days. Ordered two to make sure at least one was not scratched. Sent the other on back...

I don't see any rust, just mud! My goal is to make it to the SSS this year, but it's a pretty big stretch. I have a big Colorado trip the first part of September that is going to soak up my play funds and vacation time at work, plus I need to...

Great news, Ford Explorer brakes pass the fit test.

I bought a smaller bottle that I could afford when first starting. Then throughout succeeding exchanges picked up the increasingly larger sizes for the price difference and cost of gas.

This is pretty great, I have seen quite a few bottles for the same price with Helium or Oxygen. I will call Airgas and see how they do exchanges.

I also used plain CO2 for awhile and it worked fine. Check with your local welding supply but mine will exchange bottles size for size.. So you could buy one of these oxygen bottles and exchange it for a CO2/argon of the same size for $100.00...

sometimes you can find used bottles on marketplace or craigslist, just make sure they are not in need of certification. Altho, the certification may still be less than a new bottle, depending on how much you need to spend to buy it in the first...

I was given advice 42 years ago when I started buying welders for home use, buy your bottles don't rent, buy the biggest bottles you can stack on the back of your welder. The long term savings over renting bottles is worth buying, I have several...
