Sweet, I finally get to throw those dumb springs away. Your comanche won't need them at the junkyard.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Speaking of welding I love when I leave my argon bottle open and let all the gas out over night. I love paying for gas I didn't get to use. Wish I did it more often.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

You should buy Sam's fabtech springs and then scrap it all.

Seriously though, still gonna finish it or no? I think you should, hell if it's that disastrous floor that has you in the dumps I am easily bribed with beer to do floor replacement work. Yes, I can do good quality sheetmetal welding and rust repair, I just refuse to have anything to do with it on my own jeeps.

Ok one more question, unrelated. The o2 sensor is obviously ripped out of the cat. CEL came on, and I'm assuming that's why.

Anyway, will I experience any mpg loss or whatnot without that sensor, or can I wait til it's a bit nicer out?

Made it up a snowy muddy hill, no balls is never a good thing to say to me :laugh2:

Just pulled the trigger on my adventure for the next few weeks.

Flying out to Lake Tahoe on Tuesday the 29th, staying at Harrah's in Stateline NV for 3 nights and skiing two days at Heavenly, then driving ~450 miles south on Friday the 1st on US-395 to get to Johnson Valley that evening, then doing shock tuning with TR Motorsports and LII on Saturday, more tuning + maintenance + watching the Superbowl on a big ass Jumbotron by the bonfire Sunday, prerunning the whole KOH course with TR Monday, driving to Vegas on tuesday and going to the Hoover Dam + gun shopping + casinos if I didn't blow all my fun money at Harrahs, dropping the rental car off and hitching a ride back to KOH, then TR is qualifying on Wednesday + the King Shocks hosted party that night, watching the EMC and tech/contingency on Thursday + planning pits + maintenance, then the big race Friday, then departing (driving) for home on Saturday, getting back Monday night, and back to work on Tuesday.

Whew. :D

itineraries are gay. as for Vegas, just meet some rich Australian girls, then Vegas becomes free.

If someone has access to 220 I would see no reason to get a 110 machine. Even if they think they'll use it at a location with 110. I'd rather bring something to where I have 220 than bring my welder somewhere that only has 110 to weld. I've done it before and it was gay times 30.

yea but if your out wheeling and brake shib you are more likely to find a 110v outlet then a 220v.

like when I broke my control arm I was able to build a new one at the campground.

but I still would love to have a 220v mig. I do my thick stuff with my 220 stick welder.

on a side note we had this insulation machine at work and it had 2(well technically 3) cords one 220v cord and another one that split into 2 110v. I never got to use it. but my guess was that you could plug it into 2 110v outlets and it was able to double them up to 220v?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

That's incredibly ghetto and flagrantly against electrical code, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't ever done it. Basically you plug it into two 110v circuits on opposite legs/phases of the breaker panel and it uses the two hot wires to get 220v. If you even think about doing this with AFCI or GFCI breakers it'll trip them.

It can't hurt anything unless you get unlucky, if you plug it into two 110 outlets on the same circuit you just get zero volts.

I figured there was some sort of electrical thing-a-ma-jig inside the machine that made it kosher. because it looked factory, not like some shumck cobbled it together.

You need it to pass inspection, that's it.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Make sure the two wires to it for the heater don't short together (and that the positive one doesn't short against anything grounded) because it'll blow the fuse for the ASD relay, which leaves you in the middle of a crowded intersection in Hudson Mass, don't ask how I know this.
