Mainly overlanding, so I need on road manners to get me to the trail and then get me home. It would be cool if I could do harder trails but probably mostly medium to hard trails when it is me without the wife lol.

It’s parts and tools all in this can! The other dream I have is putting this thing on coils too but that is going to have to wait a few years.

I’m not opposed to going the Chevy route, I just wasn’t planning on it from the beginning. But I’m open to it.

Alright, back home in Va Beach after visiting my parents in Ohio. I’m eager to get back to work on my cruiser. Here is what I have decided. I am going to go ahead and swap Chevy springs into the rear and then put my rear springs up front. It makes the most sense to me. I am also going to get my own welder and do the fabwork myself. I have upped my budget after researching and am really leaning towards the multiprocess machines. Miller is on my list as well as ESAB and Lincoln. I would love to have both DC and AC capability but I think that is just to far out of my wife’s budget.....we will see though.

How much aluminum welding do you plan to do? Thats the only reason for ac tig welding. I have been looking at the mp210 from lincoln i have also used this machine its a little weird to me with rhe digital display and it sets everything by the parameters that you set... wire size metal thickness and gas mixture i am used to old school dials n stuff not saying you cant adjust it on your own i didn't just put in the info and pulled the trigger. I chose to use my buddys klutch welder over it he still uses it over the mp210 they are both inverter welders both mp welders. Practice practice practice once you buy your welder

I’d like the option of welding aluminum. It would be cool to build an aluminum roof rack eventually, possibly some aluminum drawers for the rear. But honestly probably not enough to justify it at this point. Probably better to cross the bridge when it comes

I seeing firsthand how you got your name for your build.
This is only the suspension build of my rig too! I still have to add a transmission cooler and spray lizard skin on the interior

If you’ve got the money, tools, space and time then go for it. The time aspect is what’s been killing my wife. I’ve work a lot at work and the 60 has become my other job... she calls it, my other women. Almost there though.
“Harry... we’re in hole... we’ve just got to dig our way out!”

That is where my wife comes in, she will not let that happen! We balance each other in that aspect.
