What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Selectivelynoncompliant]

Spent a whopping $66.00 On a new tailgate. Only one that was available was the mid grade. Fits like a glove and does not rattle.

I have been building some sliders. Finally got the passenger side tacked up...

Ok. Is time to post ...What did you do with your Rig Today? ( Credit of this thread goes to Mud forum...you know where ) It could be... washed it, went wheeling, maintenance, fix, add accessories, Mods, etc.

Love it, looks like you're having a blast. To think I'm stuck behind the keyboard in Northern NY with Projects due by Monday, but I will find some time to install a few mods this weekend.

My youngest son helped me install new brake pads.

I have almost 40 hours into prepping my rig for a paint job. The previous jobs were a weekend start to finish proposition and the cheap acrylic enamel would only last 3-4 years outside. I have used probably 100 sheets of peel and stick on my DA's ranging from 120 to 400 grit this go around. Hope to get some epoxy printer sealer on it today. It is 20 degrees outside so I will be painting in my heated garage with the door half open. Once that cures, I will wet sand it with 600 before color coat with acrylic urethane, followed with acrylic urethane clear coat.
Then I will cut and buff it out. Hope to have it all finished and the interior plastic refurbished by Christmas, all while working 40 hours a week.

Welded up my sliders last night and did a little welding on my Massey Ferguson lift arms. Now I'm finding quotes for powdercoating. And I can tell you for sure my hf 90amp fulx core works way better at welding .120 dom tubing than my Hobart 125 flux/mig I think I need a new feed wheel the Flux wire kept slipping.

I built my sliders with that same welder. They're still holding up fine.

Yeah after the first weld I had no worry about the quality. I can see the penetration on the plates too. I still have to do final cleanup before having em coated. I did find out the hf welder don't like non hf wire and the .030 tip will run .035 wire without a problem.

Mine runs fine on name brand flux core wire. The spool that originally came in the box with the welder was garbage. I assume that spool goes in at the factory in China then just gets contaminated over time and exposure on the long boat ride to the states.

Mine was great with the spool that came with it and one I bought in the wrong diameter, I tried some from a company called Forney after I ran out and it was garbage.

Had the same experience with Forney brand wire. But Lincoln brand worked well.

Not so much my vehicle but where my vehicles live.

Another partial day of purging and reorganizing the garage. This shelving unit at the back of the shop always takes the longest to do and hopefully I can wrap this up tomorrow. Already feel like I have so much more space now that the tables have been cleared off and the cleaning/lubrication shelving has been re organized and unused items discarded.

Added a cabin air filter to thecopcar. Only the Escalades were originally factory equipped. But the ductwork access provisions are there and the mod is about $40 including filter.

Installed a 100w solar panel, and controller on the trailer. Can’t wait to try it out, once the rainy season is done.

I spent some time at the carwash View attachment 178977

A lot of time I'll bet !

 

[Lanlubber In Remembrance]

Guess I'll be going back to get it lol. It was pretty nasty and stiff so I left it behind.

Saddle soap will do wonders. You would be surprised at what some people would pay for that OLD saddle. You can always sell it to the TV show American pickers. They buy anything OLD..!

Drove it a little bit so I can measure how much more droop I'll get with new shocks lol

On the good side I Picked up a canopy for free that’s in great shape , downside is it’s 8” to long ... even more downside there’s not 8” of material on either side of the window so I will have to take 4” off both the front and the back . Seems simple enough but we will see tomorrow .View attachment 179034

Your a brave man !
