Welding TIps and Tricks on Youtube is where I learned to TIG weld. MIG welding can be self taught. It's not that hard. I have gotten better over the years. I love welding and fabrication, if you could't tell lol. I'd love to get my hands on a plasma table. Other than a license plate light that...

Thanks. I used to have a TIG welder, but until I get a garage, it's not practical. MIG welding isn't that hard to learn. Best tool I own.

You're selling your red van? Isn't that your daily? 4" lifts don't get enough love.

A few small things to button up, but she's done! $1800 for a Alumness bumper, or this! All in around $250.

Yea, that's the plan. I'm working it out as I go. I have the cargo box that will go on the other side as well as the extension for the backup camera. I'm also putting in pins to hold the arms in place too.

Yea buddy.

Those would be a fun conversion. I was browsing GovPlanet and saw one of these dudes. They're pretty cheap, so it may be something I might do in the future.

Rear shackles came in. I had a long honey do list today, so I didn't get much done. But I got the cross bar welded in. Tire mount and cargo box mount should be done tomorrow. I was also browsing GovPlanet and ran across this guy. How cool would it be to have one of these guys? Put a camper on...

Somewhere in the middle of Wyoming.

All done. Now time to build the swing outs.

I've been working on the rear bumper before I tear into the transmission. I could have used new steel, but since I'm a boat captain, I wanted to use scraped steel that used to be boats. I welded the shackle mounts with the welder on full blast. Talk about hot!

Stopped by UJOR to pick some stuff up. Always good to see the gang. Thanks again!

It probably has a lot to do with the VW scam from a few years back.

That’s a pretty nice setup.

Cool video!

Mostly Bolivar is where I’ll be going. When you go over High Island bridge, and the road turns right, there’s a pull off where you can go miles down the beach and it’s empty. I’m sure you know where I’m talking about.

I have a lunchbox locker. STILL haven’t finished 4WD. Plan on finishing when I get off the boat this time. I wanted to try out some beaches in Texas when I go back down south.

Please make sure you fill it with water and check for leaks before installing it and adding fuel. I did that and had a pin hole leak. So I had to drop it and do it again. Also this is a great time to do the hutch / harpoon mod while the tank it out.

Wow. Thanks for the replies.

What psi should a run with a 7.3 van with 33’s in the sand? BFG KO2’s. Do you keep it in 4wd and lockers locked? Thanks!
