Does the bank know you're doing this to their Jeep?
It is paid off as of 15 min ago
Haha Cox, he sure showed you! :flipoff2:Quote:

well since it is now paid off i canceled insurance on it to save some cash. I have been paying $80 a month for it to sit in my garage.
went through two tanks of gas on the welder and am about out of rods. gonna hit up tractor supply before they close for the day. I didnt realize how much welding there actually was to do
oh my...

MIG isn't baller it makes sense when you're welding thin-ass framerails together...don't act like you're too smart to spend money on a nice welder when you're in the middle of cutting up a late-model vehicleQuote:

Was this directed at Tate or me?Quote:

uhhh...yeah, mighta been a little buzzed when I wrote that, but seriously this is dumb. Your jeep's now worth like 5gs less than the sum of its parts
You're just jealous he has air conditioning (and not the 2/60 kind). :flipoff2:Quote:

It's not like this is much different than me cutting the rear suspension off my Jeep six years ago to put leaf springs on it. It was six years old at the time, which just so happens to be the same age this one currently is. I'll concede that mine had been paid off for a couple of years and wasn't in fantastic condition, but it was still ultimately my decision to do something to a second vehicle that wasn't generally thought of as a good idea. It worked for a couple of trips and now it's a permanent fixture holding my garage floor down. Worked out great for everyone! :flipoff2:Quote:

That's what we have been trying to tell the newbies for years that the best idea is to cut up your DD that is reliable and not yet payed for :flipoff2:Quote:

ok, i'll compromise. you clean the paint off before you weld over it and I'll ignore the fact that you dont even bother cleaning the welds up before you take a picture.
Thus the reason I asked. The shoe doesn't fit, everything I have done to my wheeling rig was paid in cash and done by people who have a lot more mechanical/fab skills then me! :flipoff2:Quote:
