my miller flux core welders use gas. :flipoff2:
most migs come ready to weld with flux, but can also run gas if you want to add the tank
And you can load any mig that uses gas with flux core and actually get some good strong welds with it, instead of the crappy welds from solid core.
If you have a good mig, you can lay some good strong beads, you just have to know how to run it, and set it up right
migs are fun. I love mine
every do any uphill fillet welds? very different technique and look than a normal bead
how should you know. I hope my cage holdsupQuote:

I'm eating lunch right now, but the new rearend is gonna go under this afternoon, as well as the front (hopefully). If all goes well and I get the u-bolts made today, or tomorrow, I could have the driveshafts made by the end of the week.
sounds good
Ok, here's some teaser pics of what I accomplished today. Do realize that I still need to find some u-bolts to fit the front and rear, spring plates, and perches for the rear. I've been searching but to no luck, any help as to where I can pick up these parts? Well here's the pics
Looks like a BNC truck...

Hope you enjoyed em', I'm getting closer to getting it out on the trails, but without the wornout 31"s :flipoff2:
Also whoever is planning on coming down next weekend to help needs to let me know so I have a list. We'll definitely be working/welding/drinking, but I'm not sure as to whether or not we'll go to that concert. Just not sure yet.
get your dimensions and go to Napa for the ubolts
you should be able to get the perches and plates at xtreme performance or order them from btf or crawltech or some other company that Feller can tell you the name of. I can't remember it right now
oh yeah. Too tall, needs more triangulation. Jeeps suck. :flipoff2:
uh, I think its www.rocklogic4x4.com, but their online store isn't pulling up on this computer
all I can say is that is one crazy assed contraption you have that jeep slung from. And I thought I had done some wierd things in my time
hey fellar you can put all that shiznit in one post not two or three you post whore. :flipoff2:
its feller, fawker :flipoff2:
and I'm not trying to pad, I'm just really bored here at work, so I come back to the same threads and add more.
Ill be there, but I live in waco so I will need fo you to PM me direction to your place in Conroe and what time yall think yall are going to leave
Fellar is what you call someone in the west
Feller drives the buggy
oh yeah me too, I didn't think anyone else was awake at this hour
that thing is gonna be hella tall
Yeah it will be once the 36"s are on, but I think the springs will soften up a little with time.
i noticed on the pics the shackles have a second hole, i would bolt them up on there and lower it some
Yeah that was something I began to consider after looking at the pics, I'm sure we'll take care of that next weekend. But I don't know high COD could make for some fun flops... :flipoff2:
i say lower it a lot and cut fenders
Yea definately move the shackle bolts. And in the front you can redrill the hangers higher to drop it some, then torch off the excess brackets. Will make approach angle better too. Don't you have some sort of torch to cut spring plates with? 3/8" plate works good. And 2.5 x .25 wall square tubing make good spring plates. I think there're some d44 spring plates somewhere at my college station house.
I'm gonna see how much using the other holes on the shackle drops it, as for the perches for the rear, I'm just gonna use some square tube like Coop said and make it happen. I will eventually get the power steering and ram assisst, and right now I'm trying to hunt down the box and pump, but I'm really trying to make something happen so it could make the run on Sunday. I have plenty of more stuff to do before it's truly where I want it, but it'd be nice to make a small run.
I think it sounds manageable to make the run on Sunday. If you need anything let me know, I should be able to get it for you in Waco, or I can run to Austin and pick it up.
Thanks, here's what I'm running down/picking up this week. U-bolts, perches for the rear, spring plates, drag link, driveshafts, reinstall gas tank, extend brakelines, throttle return spring, muffler/exhaust hangers, and I NEED TIRES! That's just to make it for this weekend.
Everyone who plans on riding down to work Friday and Saturday, post a list here. The plan is to leave Friday after everyone gets out of class and get to work, drink, party. Saturday, wake up, work, drink, party, work, head back to C.S. that evening or night and have a good time. That way we'll be back in town for Sunday's trip. Please list your name and if you have Friday classes/what time you can leave. Thanks.
Ill be out there
damn school field trip at 5 30 in the am saturday arrgggg.
Well, this weekend was productive, even without Danny (you suck), we got everything buttoned up except for the drag link, front shims, and rear driveshaft. Within the next two weeks it'll have all that done, a bad mother cage, and 36" Iroks. After that, it's only cosmetics, but hey, who needs a good paint job when it's just gonna get f'd. Coop has pics, I hope he'll post em'.
spray paint the *****. Like you said, it'll only get messed up. I'm thinking something in pink wiith lavender accents should be nice :flipoff2:
Yeah, that would be nice. After we're done we could paint your buggy :rainbow: :flipoff2:Quote:

"rookie rookie me take your picture"
made spring perches and plates. rear end is streched about 4" from stock. front is all put together also, had to fix breaks and hubs. just need drag link. rear is good, just needs driveshaft and cut the fenders once tires are on. we also put a raptor exhaust on it.... bad dood.
motor runs good too.
also need to mount is 12000 pound warn on the ***** too.
needs its tires bad... its really not that tall anymore.. gonna sit about how cjs does.
ching gow how did yall work with all them chains hanging everywhere
most of the time it was up in the air, and we would set the chains on the bumpers, The bars got in the way more than the chains, esp trying to weld on the perches
Thanks Coop for posting the pics and for this weekend, I owe you many many times over. Hope your up for doing it again.
Got my power steering box today from Roberto.. :gigem:
Just got word that I now have dibs on the 35" Claws that I'm picking up this weekend from a guy in Spring. Seems like everyday I get a couple things on the rig taken care of. Kickass! :gigem:
