THREAD RESURRECTION

We Back! New house, proper garage, 2year old.....and I did enough damage to the cruiser that no one would touch it with a ten foot pole (sorry, wife!)

TMI beadlocks in the mail. Wheeling!

now just gotta remember how this whole forum thing works. .
hope all is well, fellow cruiser heads.

12 years in the making..... a proper wrenching shop!

the shop space, when we moved in.....

 

[baldilocks]

How about more pics of rig? That’s more than a hobby shop. Do you plan to make a living in there?

I look forward to continue posting more pics this year, as I’m planning for a wheeling season finally; when I start the weld on bead locks I’ll post some more.
regarding the shop- we had to move out to the “boonies” to get a place like this.... and it is indeed a “hobby shop” for now. the upstairs is roughed in, and would need plumbing, but hopefully eventually become an apt I could rent out / AirBnB.
the dream would be to eventually get a lift and do specialty stuff, just work on automotive stuff, but its not in the cards right now. but working on friends and families vehicles, and having some legit space is absolutely refreshing (I built up an 84 pickup, wrenched on this 80, and other vehicles in a condominium garage for the last 12 yrs.).

Begins of beadlock prep. Pull tires off wheels, sandblast all 5 wheels, bang back into shape, paint one for spare, await TMI beadlocks.

Total Metal Innovations Beadlocks R done. More grinding and torquing than welding! Wheels sandblasted before hand. They were a rusty/powdercoaty mess.
