Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Ordered a 8.8 diff cover and big-ass tab assortment from Ruffstuff yesterday.

I should have it tomorrow by USPS medium box.

I got my 30,8.25, and one of their flush mount lights in "one" medium flat rate box.

I think that's everybody's reaction to the first time using a plasma. Mine does 5/8 pretty damn good, that's its max rating but I'm tempted to try 3/4 to see how it does.

We have a powermax 45, it's rated for 3/4". I bet it would do a passable cut on 1", but I got that chinesium bandsaw for working on the house so I just use that. I love tools where I can set my cut up and sit back with one hand on the tool and the other feeding me beer.

I am going to cut dick shaped holes in EVERYTHING

EVERY SINGLE THING

They cut great dick shapes. Just look at my old jeeps frame stiffener. Dick rosette ftw.

Holy crap, if I ever leave this company (i.e. if we go under, no way am I quitting) I NEED to buy a plasma cutter.

This thing is AWESOME.

PS: best job ever, I can use the plasma cutter whenever the hell I want and it cuts 1/4" like butter. I bet this thing would cut 1" plate no problem... I know where I am building my new bumper.

I got a lead on 50A 220V inverter richmond china machine for $290

get with me. Dougies is interested too. Maybe we can get the price down another few bucks if I go pick up 3 or 4.

it's this one, guy is local.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I have zero money to dedicate to buying one for the foreseeable future

And with a 45 amp professional grade one at work that I can literally use whenever I want, not much motivation to spend money on one anyways.

Still got quite a ways to go on my loans, house shit, parts for the 5 ton... etc.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I feel that.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to need one for uhaul project, and ubilding hitch for the MJ of the drawtite style.

For $290 I'll make a china one do work.

thse were the last welds I laid with the HF blue welder and flux core wire.

The shackle hangers on my truck look like they're on a diet. Still have a loan on it and I'm already going to be building suspension parts for it. I shoulda kept the jeep so I could carry out dumb ideas on that instead.

New shackles are like $25... Although mine did kinda suck to do. Bolt frozen in the sleeve and whatnot

...probably wouldn't have sucked as bad if it hadn't been snowing about 3" an hour that day

Depending on logistics I'd be interested in something like this. Any firsthand experience with that machine?

I read "aluminum frame" in that article. Now does yahoo just not know what they are talking about? Or does the new F150 have an aluminum frame as well? I always thought it was just the bed and some body panels.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I heard it was just the body. I doubt they are going to do the frame in aluminum and keep the price competitive.

 

[chedisme]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yea I just read he comments and people are hating on the author for getting the frame part wrong.

Nope. We had a fleet of shitty F-250s, although mine was a 2011 also. Most of them all had the 6.7 diesel, and more than a few went through engines within 80K miles.

It's the frame side hangers. I'm either going to build a flip kit or some sliders for it to give it a 2" lift and then match it up front with new keys.
