THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Just set up that 230 amp snapon MIG I bought off Alex22 like 3 freakin years ago... liner was a bit rusty (since it's been sitting on my covered porch and in my humid basement for years, no surprise there) so there were teething problems, but it's now running great and GOD DAMN! Why did I wait so long?

Never had to worry about undercutting 1" plate and melting the edge off of 3/8" before. This is awesome.

[Scuba diving post]

I was diving some sweet shipwrecks in NC this weekend. One was a German U-boat. One I got to swim inside with a shark. That is me in the video below.

Pretty sweet Mark!
Not sure you'd get me swimming in and around those wrecks though.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'm putting my cooler in tonight should I just run the cooler or should I tie it into the radiator?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Mark, that video is badass. Looks awesome.

Nick and I made a disaster of his backyard yesterday. Tried to plow over some mounds of shit with my plow and got my truck stuck. His backyard is basically a swamp. Had to use his jeep to winch me out.

Then we tried to use my chainsaw to cut down a few tree/brush. Thing ran mint the day before but now is starving for fuel under load. Carb didn't look too nasty but I didn't dick with it too much.

After that, we used the post hole digger and found the water table 2 ft down in his backyard, so scratch setting sonnet tubes.

Went to cook burgers, ran out of propane.

Finally decided to just get a metal shed, build the floor out of wood and put it on cinder blocks in a different/more firm spot. What a failure of a day :laugh:

Colin needs boggers for his truck.


I learned not to cheap out and use krylon clear over duplicolor. Frt fenders are basicly garbage. Used the duplicolor clear on the back of the jeep and it looks great

I have started to cheap out on spray paint. 97 cent "quick color" from home depot. I can get 4 cans for the price of one can of quality stuff. It seems to go on kinda patchy though and I find myself touching it up after it dries.

I have also recently discovered "filler primer". I love this stuff. Fills in the imperfections in my framerails and makes it look less crappy. Dries just as quick as the regular stuff too.

It'll match you perfectly then, a so so front view but DAMN what a rear end!
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Seems silly to paint it decent knowing its getting scrapped or tubed next year. Most likely tubed

That explains my confusion. I could have told you plowing dirt with that was not going to work well.... ;)
How bad is the truck? From the vid it looks pretty buried on the driver's (fat guy) side.

Ethanol kills the baffles and diaphragms if stored with fuel for a long time (read 2 months+).

I know that feeling. Still got to dig that trench for pipe next to that section of my driveway.




My Saturday went pretty similar.
Went to do the driver's wheel bearing (with only 28K on it mind you on a Timken hub, trying a Moog this time.) FYI, Colin you were right the nut torque is 177 ft-lbs no idea WTH I was thinking...

Go to AutoZone to get a wheel bearing and see if they will pricematch RockAuto ($139 vs $289) the convo goes like this:
"RockAuto is the only place we don't price match too"
"That's ok. Amazon has it for $151 and it'll save me the wait"
"Nope, we can't do that either."
"Sure, ok how about Summit Racing has it for the same $151?"
"Sorry, no."
"Oh, I thought RockAuto was the only place you didn't match?"
"Well, let me see if I can help you get to the price, how about a free bottle of Lucus fuel stabilizer?"
"No, Thank you, I'll pass that's still a huge difference"

Now I'm not one of those entitled brats that thinks everything should go my way but if you tell me you can't price match only one store, mean that. So I head to Advance Auto and the manager behind the counter goes, "No problem." Price matches it and I'm on my way in under 5 minutes. :laugh:

Get home get everything apart to find the brakes shot. Trip back to the store gets me brakes and I wrap up the driver's side. Go to do the pass side and find that hub also has slop (to be expected I guess with 101K miles of the OEM), back to the parts store see a different fellow who also has no problem with the price match of the hub. Thankfully it came apart ok and didn't fight me the whole time.


The rest of the weekend I played in the dirt with the 4 wheeled orange trowel.
