Things to do before clayton

[redcagepatrol]

I need to check the air in my tires, and some other stuff...

don't forget to check you headlight fluid... Also, you might want to change the air in your tires instead of just checking it

my truck will be here friday sometime in the mid day work and drunkenness will ensue after i get done with my two tests that day, and btw damn west texas offroad cant get my, ram fixed, or send me a new one before calyton.

so matt at wto told me to just weld the heim to my ram, he suggested grindin it flat and weldingthe heim with the broken stud t the ram with a first pass of 6011, then he said maybe another of 7018. with the ram fully extended, and dont get it to hot.

what i am thinkin tell me if you all think this is a good idea or not, i was thinking of grinding the ram base flat, removing the broken stud from my heim, then either taking a piece of all thread, like already used, or a bolt of the same thread and diameter and welding that to the ram.

i think the bolt would be better since it would provide more surface area for the weld, what do you all think. will hopefully be done with it this weekend so i can go test the ram at 47 or somewhere to make sure it is gonna hold.

what is broken on the ram?

[Shaggy]

you might could borrow my ram from wto

[stx4wheeler]

the solid stud at the axle mounted end of the ram,

tate that would be great i could just take yours with me and if my welds break i could jsut swap in yours.
