Hey thanks Andrew! With welding, the prep is critical to a sound weld.

Thanks John. You can learn this stuff. Its really not that hard, just gotta jump in. You can get a decent welding machine for about the same cost of a new Glock, a few extra mags, and a couple boxes of ammo....Just sayin! These sliders would cost me $1100 plus freight, I can build them for...

So I finally started building sliders today..... Took care of all the bends with random lengths added first and laid them out in the driveway. Then started working on the .250 wall slider material. Trying to use up what I had on hand, I had to join a couple sections of 2 x 3 x .250. I chose to...

We added tabs and rivnuts to attach the plate. Some dimples would look good.

So Saturday went well. Between @G.Goodwin @MrWilsonWJ , Patrick, and myself, a plan of attack was formed. It was a productive day, but we failed to finish. @G.Goodwin and I were able to get back together yesterday and get the Fab completed. Here are a few pics I took along the way. I am sure...

Oh yeah, If you have a welding hood, bring it as well as any PPE you would like to protect yourselves with. If not, no worries. I have some extra.....and a first aid kit.

Dimple dies would add a nice look to the skid plate. I do not have a press though.

10 am ....ish.

Yes sir. Tomorrow, at my house. I will leave the time to @G.Goodwin . I will ask that we all make an effort to wear masks and sanitize frequently. My address is 813 N Ely Place Kennewick

Hey Ian. Welcome to the crew! I am excited about your BDR trip next year. I was going to run it this summer but things got weird. Not sure where you are located but i look forward to meeting you some day.

.......a welding machine, and then a tube bender, a band saw, a plasma cutter, a cold saw, a divorce......... another welding machine...

This is on me guys. I apologize, I thought my haul season was finished, then the phone rang. I want this fab day to not just be a "hang out and watch" but a sort of work shop. I am going to prepare some tube sections, and some pieces of plate for guys to practice on. I will work on getting...

Well I hope you all had a great trip. You should be back by now I would think. I am bummed I couldn't join you all. Had to get the 4runner coated, This is a before, And this is after, It turned out pretty good. I ran out of material, so will need to order a couple bottles to add some...

Yeah it was down for 3 weeks. All back together now. I got it back Saturday, washed it Sunday, and hooked 14k to it yesterday and put 500 miles on it including a couple mountain passes. I still have grapes to haul this week at least. Not sure about next week yet.

If it works in stick and tig modes it may be a bad trigger switch on the mig gun.

So is it dead on stick , smaw , as well? Or just mig?

Was a combination of 140,000 miles and 500 hp. The 68rfe transmissions are known as being the weak link in Ram HD trucks. This new one is a built up version good for lots of HP.

Just in case anyboby wants to see what a $6000 transmission looks like..... Excited to get it muddy...

This is interesting...... What process were you using it for? I am gunna guess Mig.... I assume you have tried switching processes and still nothing? Have you done a reset to default settings?

I have to apologize for being a bit disconnected. I was able to take a trip several weeks ago that I spoke of here, but that following the transmission in Brutus started to give me problems. No surprise, the 68RFE is known to be weak. I just got word today that Brutus is better than ever with a...
