Default Welding and Fab work

I'm going to be fabbing up a bunch of crap for my Jeep experimenting with different idea's. First I will fab myself up some beefy rock sliders. Then I'm gonna attempt a swing out tire carrier. Once I've built my stuff I will post my design's and possibly fab up some stuff for people for a little side cash. Complements of a buddy with a fab shop, I have access to pipe bended, drill press, heavy duty welder, and a plasma cutter.

if what you build turns out as nice as your rack. i bet you would get some repeat buyers. tire swing out would be killer .

Yah thats the way to go right now. When I'm finished with my degree, Boeing is hiring everyone in my class on the spot. But I'd like something in the mean time to have "pocket change"
