Re: The Colorado BS thread
GOOD LORD.........:eyes:
Since my bud planned on running the yards with me, I asked him to bring the 'ol car dolly that has been stored at his house. The plan was to take my newest Jeep to the car wash and clean under the hood.
When we got to the car wash, we noticed the tires had shifted. I forgot to unlock the steering, which also finished off the steering column. Great! We can't even straighten out the wheels.
Before we left the car wash, we re-strapped the tires. We went real slow driving home. As we pulled onto my street, one of the straps came undone, the Jeep rolled forward off the dolly. The only thing we could do was drag it the 70 feet to the house. In front of the house, there was another loud noise, broken welds on the axle. We tried lifting the Jeep off the dolly, the same wheel fell off.
During the day, as I was following him with the empty dolly, I was thinking that thing was looking scary. I was thinking I should cut it up and load it in the scrap trailer. We started by cutting it out from under the Jeep. I wished I had not added so much weight to it when I first got it.
My bud wants the spindles, he has an idea...

Started drilling rear inner frame plates for plug welds ...did not feel like clearing the garage to bring stuff in to drill out on the press so I did it with a hand drill , well I never drilled 3/16th by hand and it got old first hole , so I took the cutting wheel and cut a bunch of side g side slices then cut them at angle to open up slots...lol...this works much faster than plug welds even on the press ...yes I am lazy .

The day I brought it home. It has been used and abused, and superseded by AAA memberships.
Re: The Colorado BS thread
had a few Milwaukee hole saws from HD sitting I bought one dozer blade witj the arbor and two other blades I never noticed the one with the arbor is missing the pilot bit....anywho I came across annular sheet metal hole cutters and ordered a a set up to 3/4 to cut plug welds these should be much faster than drill bit b.s.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
I'm not searching all your posts; I thought you had a plasma torch??? Follow that with a reamer and you should be welding fresh steel.
Until you burn them up.

Working in storage lot no fancy tool use outside ...I did slot cut all the plating and burnt it home all without leaving the hole cut in the cargo floor . I do need to buy some ear plugs before the angle grinder gives me permanent tinnitus .

Re: The Colorado BS thread
That's a fair question Steve. Definitely captured when I got home last night. I don't own a pellet gun or a .22 and I really didn't feel like driving up above town on Rampart to shoot it with my gun and drowning, stabbing, or biting its head off just seemed a bit much. So I walked it well into the woods several miles from the house on a trail and let it go. Catch and release I guess.

Re: The Colorado BS thread
sadly, either he or one of his chubby ilk, will be back River... they are seriously territorial little vermin. The good news at my place is that we are in a life-cycle shift... I hear coyotes every night now and saw 3 foxes this week. It is going to be a bad year for squirrels and rabbits.
