Looks good. I bet the neighbors were like WTF, he's cuttin the top off that jeep. Nice job for outside work. I would love to find a decent one to build so i could cut the back, i really like that look.

thanks yas... its comin along... lol... all my buddies thought i was an idiot to do it when i said i was... (they dont really get into vehicles much) then when i did it they thought it actually looked pretty good... lol... none of them will ride with me on the interstate though... lol... or cold weather for that matter... i tell them the heaters are kick butt... they dont believe me... lol

Those non-insulated bastards! lol If I chopped mine I would drive it around doorless in the winter time, just to be a badass! Nice jeep ya got there. Good job on the chop too. How do you like your welder?

huntingman2706217

love the welder... and i think id be even happier with running gas but like i said i dont have a shop so it stays in my work trailer... with a gas tank and hoses and crap it would make it difficult to move around vs. wheeling it around a shop... but im starting to get into stuff where i wish i had it like the bumpers... when i build my long arms i would feel safer to do it all myself with gas... as of now i plan to tack it all together and let my buddies shop finish the welds strong... it burned the bumpers fine... it was just cranked way up... lol... heck i dont even know what parts ill need to run it off of gas... guess i should research and see if i cant find anything on CL for cheap... but as for the welder... ive had it 3 or 4 years now and have not had a single problem...

Sweet! Honestly you might as well just buy a welder set up for gas. You would have to get a new wire cord that has a gas line in it; plus the gas cannister, and a new mig gun. plus a pressure regulator and gas hoses.

huntingman2706217

yeah thats to much money... lol... ill buy everything part by part so its all spaced out or make some trades... lol...

huntingman2706217

im pretty sure mine is setup really for gas... i just gotta plug it into the back or whatever... heck i dunno...

edit... this is what i got but mine didnt come with the gauge kit sittin in the back... guess he yanked it for his other welder i dunno... never knew that...

Oh, Then you just need the gas, gas cannister, pressure ragulator, and gas hose. The pressure regulator is the most expensive thing on the list IIRC

huntingman2706217
