ER70s3 is my go-to for solid wire. I wish my welder had enough power to run spray arc honestly. Hot, fast and furious, but I can lay some gorgeous beads with it. Recently I had to go electrode negative flux core to go fix a friend's tractor in central WA. I would've preferred to use 6010 rod on it but I don't have a buzzbox, just my Millermatic. Interesting that FCAW had such high failure rates. We didn't do RT or MT testing for our certifications, all we did was a visual and bend test. My test plates were flawless for that at least, so now I'm curious to see how they would've fared for RT and MT.

I come from a oil and gas/cryo/nuc background. Anytime I went into a code fab shop and they wanted to run FCAW I said that was fine but we were going to 100% RT on all welds and my company refused to pay for repairs or materials ..... they changed their tune FAST and went to solid wire without a debate and submitted new WPS' and PQR's.

Bend test depends on the radii bent. An API 2" bend test... Someone that takes their time with a oxy torch and bailing wire can pass it. ASME B31.1- 6G - 1/2" radius on .436" or a super coupon (.625") to test for all thicknesses is a different story. Bend test root and cap. Most think bending the cap is good enough, but it's what separates the field.

I still xray samples from time to time to make sure myself and my equipment are in order.

just recv'd my steel steering skid plate & man what a BEAST! I can't wait to go run over something intrusive to test it out! lol.... are there any mods I might want to consider to the front end (MAF/ OME extra heavy springs 4" w/ shackle reversal) & ARB with warn winch? I see the dual front shocks are getting more popular

You should be good. The steel front skid weighs 37# and made of 1/4' plate wit 3/8" brackets.... It'll take a beating!

Thank you for the order.

On another note............. Another new product for Trail Tailor coming soon.

RED Winches from the UK.

RW 1.webp
RW 2.webp
RW 3.webp

recessed fairlead? Get out of town. That looks money!

I just bought another 62. I may need one of these down the line.
 
Will future bumpers have mounting provisions for the Red winches, or is winch mounting pretty standardized now? I dig the design of your bumpers, and would love to have one with a full bull bar on it and adjusted to compensate for a 1" body lift. I've got a laundry list of things to do on my 62 once my financial situation improves, and a new front bumper to replace my banged up OEM one is on it.

For now the front will accept most all standard foot down winches, including the RED Winches Explorer 2 -Standard and Adventure models. I will always make a custom version for the RED Winches Hornet II and Cobra as well as the Warn 8274 upon request.

Body lift is easy enough. I'll just need to know when ordering.

Rears will mimic the new "Zerk" front and offer all the old standard options; ladder, jerry can, BBQ pit, and tire carrier.

So heres the scoop- I am embarrassed to say that I over estimated my capabilities with that beautiul steering skid plate you made me. While it is obviously bulletproof I am afraid with recently becoming disabled it is too heavy for me to install by myself which is not a big deal for the original setup but may be a challenge in the future for routine maintenance. It is still in it's packaging as received so would it be possible to switch over to an aluminum one that I can handle easier? After seeing the craftsmanship & practicality of the unit I would almost feel naked heading up the mountain without one but I certainly should have asked for the specifications prior to placing the order. Thanks
 
And the "ZERK" rear bumper is born!

Will be available without swing arms, dual arms, right or left OR single centered. Recessed recovery pockets for soft shackles, stainless pop pin slide plate, bearing style spindles and bear claw latches.

This makes me happy. :bounce::bounce::bounce:
 
So I had to look at bear claw latches when you posted that and came across this:

Our power latches include a built on actuator and can be operated from the outside of your hot rod with a Remote Keyless Entry Kit or a hidden external switch. Can be mounted in the door or body. Standard operation for inside lock. Comes complete with strikers, stainless mounting bolts and...

So you could set these up in a way that it has a remote and gas struts to open at the click of a button.

Maybe this would be better suited on the “Dingo” thread.

Yeah those are nice, but the arm would be massive to house it... Just basic manual latches like these with a stainless steel pin.

American made two rotor bear claw latches work great in doors that are 1 7/8" wider or more. Our latches are zink plated with clear chromate steel components and feature non corrosive stainless steel springs and threaded mounting holes. Our large latches measure 1 7/8" wide x 3/4" thick x...
