DAM boys, I have not been around for a few days and it looks like yall are letting this GTG fall apart!! Man i hate it that you guys cant make it!!!

 

Ya I know it sucks, still up in the air for me, I'll know more in the next week or so

 

you gotta get it fixed man, you have to much work put into this not to go!!

 

Its still up in the air for me too! It all depends on if my truck is done. I'm still leaving my schedule open that day just in case!

 

I'll try to help you get it done in time. Do you need any tools that you don't have? I don't have much, but I might have something that'll come in handy.

 

The only tool I don't have is a big enough welder. My little 105 amp MIG won't be up for the job, but I plan on tacking all the mounts with it, and when I've got everything in place, I'm going to rent a 250 amp engine driven welder. But if you happen to have a welder up in the 180+ amp range bring it along! I have 220 in the garage.

Some other things that might be nice to have more than one of though would be a floor jack and some more jack stands!

I'll think about it and see if I can come up with something else we'd need.

 

I have a couple car jack stands, a couple 3 ton jack stands, a couple 3 ton floor jacks and I might be able to get my hands on a little stick welder, but I don't know the amp output on it.
Actually, I might be able to get ahold of a decent mig welder. Let me talk to my dad about borrowing a welder and maybe the plasma cutter. Don't get your hopes up, but it might be a possibility.

 

The jack and stands would be great. I have a 3 ton floor jack and a couple mini 2 ton jacks, but every one of my jack stands is being used right now!! I just remember when I put the 9.25" axle under my truck we had a couple floor jacks and several jack stands in use to get the axle up and keep it balanced.

I actually rented a plasma cutter to cut all the factory IFS mounts off the frame! I used the hell out of that thing too! But I cut everything that needed to be cut with it so I can't think of anything else that I would need one for.

The MIG welder would be awesome though. I don't know how to stick weld. I won't get my hopes up though, cause I know people who own expensive welders usually aren't too open to lending them out!

 

I believe my dad has a welder at his work that he owns but he's keeping it there because we don't have a shop yet. I just need to talk to him about using that one, or possibly borrowing one from his shop.
They have something like 5 big MIG welders, a TIG welder and a couple stick welders that are all used by the maintenance department, the assembly line uses the resistance welders so if he has one that wouldn't be missed for a couple days then I might be able to get one.
