used a killer 220V welder from like way back in the day (thing is vintage) to weld up the plates. Everything is so much better knowing the 220 penetrated deeper.


on a sidenote, he said he'll be glad to let me use the welder again. sweet.


after that, primered and sprayed the rear frame gloss black. Can't wait to remount the bed tonight or tomorrow.

 

pics or fail fool. you oughta know better by now

 

I got one of those, a lincoln 220 buzz box. Will smelt 1/2 in plate if you want too..

 

finally got my 3in blocks on and put new drop shocks (kyb) looks good now gotta do the front.

 

I'm just a lazy ass.
Here's to keep you guys happy.
Anyway, anything better than those ***** MIG welds i created Thursday night.
Thursday night round 1, MIG and plated inside, broke
Thursday night round 2, MIG and got the inner cracks. neato.
Friday night, grind off and stick
Saturday evening, grind off some and plated the outside

^^^ 110V's....

Sunday afternoon, grind off and 220V sticked it.

anything better than the 110V's. I feel so much more fckn confident and safer, I'm ready to shove that bed back on.








course you guys can weld better, it was all I had.

and two random pics

nice, the old man owns an electric shop, does electric work. He recently bought a lincoln arc welder, forgot what size, it was red though.



The older welder had a huge lever to unlock and lock the amperage settings, that was cool.

 

Yup thats the one.

 

by the way guys, whats the "BEST" "CHEAP" welder I can get from sears !??! Ive got a collection of gift cards that are adding up so thats what imma use it on !

 

lol get a TIG welder

 

Going yank the intake and exhaust mani and see how far i can get into the motor.

 

Seeing as Lux engine is blown up/damaged inside, i began disconecting things and labelling them.

 

So I'm currently sitting in my truck at school. After two weeks of inconsistent starts, I think my battery terminals aren't making good contact. Nothing working now, just gunna wait sis arrives. Shouldn't have left my tool box at home....

 

lol its 1 am, changed my alt. cuz my charge light was on and i was getting no charge welll charge light is off now but its still not charging wtf ! the wire from the battery to alt is pretty bad though but i hooked up another one for temp and still no charge... wtfff

 

check wires and grounds?

 

Taking the wire harness off my 1jz

 

Wasn't today but I forgot to post on Saturday... Installed new front bags!! What a pain in the ass!!!!

 

How's she riding?

 

I get a lil more lift out of the new bags.. The other ones were tore up!!! Still riding without shocks... Damn financial responsibilities!!! hahaha

 

smashed my truck with a BFH! i broke that little hidden bolt underneath the distributor gear. now im certain its going to leak like a mawfaw. FML! if its not one thing its another

 

That is why my truck is not bagged....yet.
