BTW I was playin around with my 90amp, & started to get some decent beads on my QP! I.got the RR outer all welded up.

 

Hell ya what do you have it set at

 

It's up about half speed, but its more about heat control on the metal... also seems best to lay a small bead on the edge of each metal then connecting the 2

 

Well I only want to buy it once, but I don't want to fork out a TON of money If i can get a less expensive one, was more interested in good brands. thanks! I'll just play with the Miller 140 for a while.

 

LOVE my Hobart 187, so has anybody that has ever used or borrowed it. They usually make the comment "when did I learn how to weld?"

Yeah, I should have mentioned in my origional question that I suspected U-joints as the source of the thud when changing shifter positions. I'm going to change them out this weekend.
Damdest thing, the locker was pretty quiet to and from work today, just a click here and there in reverse. Guess I'm going to have to pull it out, its acting like it did when I broke the active spacer on my initial botched install. Hopefully thats whats wrong (I have an extra spacer laying around here somewhere.

 

Ha ha, no kidding, I cant wait to do it again. I have put my heavy right foot on a strict diet and exercise plan though as thats what caused most the stuff on my gotta fix list!

 

Yes it is! lol but its all in good fun. Remember taking a strap is a cheap alternative after giving it a good try! But hammering down is fun too!

Awsome, thats "cheap" for what it is in my book, I was told by a few people for a good welder that can weld 1/4" Would be $1200+ lol

I have a few things I need to get fixed by thanks giving... then its over for the year while I save for tires lol

 

The sickness is claiming another victim... Kristies on the hunt for a Cherokee! (Mostly cause she knows i'll work on it!) Guess we'll see how strong that 4.0 really is. That girl can run a car into the ground! Lol

 

Man, how the sickness spreads, Lol!

 

I've been kinda missing the last few months. My ZJ has been in need of some work since mid summer, but I had a bad bicycle wreck in August.

About 40MPH, downhill on roadbikes. Front tire went flat and I went headfirst into the ditch. Broke my neck at the base of my skull, crushed a vein in my neck, obliterated the T9 vertabra and damaged the T7, 8 and 10 as well. And some roadrash and broken ribs. I'm fused from T7-12 now and wear a cervical collar for at least another month. And no driving till its off. Yes, I was wearing a helmet, suffered a concussion, but no bleeding in the brain. I still have some memory issues. I was lifeflighted from Tooele to the U.

Its been 10 weeks since the accident. I'm doing well in therapy, getting stronger again. Since I had my knee replaced last year I worked hard to get stronger than in years past, and it has really paid off. And the knee survived the wreck with no issues. If I hadn't been in as good shape as I was, I wouldn't have been on that bike. And, I will get back on that bike next spring. I have to.

I'm damned lucky to be able to walk, let alone have all feeling and abilities. There are a couple minor issues I hope resolve with further healing and therapy. But can live with.

I've lost better than 35 pounds as well. Silver lining in this black cloud. I weigh less than I did at least 7 years ago.

Just make sure you have your kids wear a helmet, that fits right. And consider one for yourself on the bike. I believe it saved my life, and at least my brain. Physics overwhelmed me with mass and kinetic energy meeting a quick stop. And attitude is helping get me back on track. And, I've been back to work part time for the last three weeks. Will be missing one day a week for therapy. Until I can drive again.

Just something to think about folks...

 

lol, awsome. already towing one... why not another? and this way you can dump the 3rd row lol

 

Just towed a 17yr old kid who ran out of gas a mile from his house. He has an 89 comanchee with only 80K. wanted to rip him for running out of gas...but he's only 17. And he seems to be an aficionado of the MJ's. Just a jeeper helping another. Got caught up on your posts from Moab...looked like a great trip ! Got a couple inches here in park city today. Wanted to wheel locally but had to install a snow blower on friends atv. uggghhh im rambling...beers will do that.

 

wow !!! what an ordeal. Couldnt imagine what you went through. And Yes my boys and i always wear helmets. Good healing to you !!!!

 

Sorry to hear that about that man, glad your recovering though!
