Installed the temperature sensor for the overhead console. Now everything on the overhead console is 100% functional!

 

dropped it off to get my rocker panels done

 

mounted my newly welded bumper! now i just need to clean up the welds and paint it=]

 

nice, does the bumper have tie-ins?

 

Yes it does 7 bolts per side. Its 3/8"(1 gauge) steel and the mounts are 1/4" and gussetted. and i used a class 3 1 1/4" ball mount that is cut thru and welded in solid for a tug point.

Threw the front portion of my lift on. Gotta do the rear tomorrow.

 

sdfasdfasdfas. Today I figured out that my bumper build isn't going to happen anytime soon. The buddy's welder that I'm borrowing will only weld 1/8th steel and thats with crappy penetration. It just doesn't have the power I need to build a bumper. So until I can get access to something that will burn at least 1/4" steel, I'm SOL on bumpers. I'm going to look around and see about Financing a Hobart Handler 210 since I don't have $900 to put up for a welder and have been looking around at ways to build credit anyways. I figure a monthly payment should be pretty cheap for that small amount of money.

 

It doesn't have a brand labeled on it, but I know it's an 80 amp 110 volt that uses flux core wire (0.030" and 0.035"). It's missing the side panel that covers the wire spool but works great.

 

I have been using a miller-matic 210 with a bottle and that is what i used to weld my 3/8" steel bumper. Worked great with amazing penetration! voltage was about a 5, wire speed about 30

just another option

 

good luck burning more than 1/8" with that. The unit I'm borrowing is a 90amp and it has enough issues welding 1/8th even on full power. I'll probably find something useful to build with it, but its no good for the heavy duty stuff I'd like to do. (some 3/8ths and lots of 1/4 and 3/16ths)

Its pretty much the same unit, just different casing, and made in a different Factory with slightly cheaper parts. Basically the Miller is the professional level and Hobart is the Hobbyist welder and thus a bit cheaper. It'd be plenty for what I'd need and I know I'd use the **** out of it.

 

Well. I swapped an 29 spline 8.25 with 3.55's and the matching d30 with 3.55 into my jeep. And found out while test driving my 8.25 has a lsd! :] So I am happy.

 

I washed mine.....Now she's ready to crawl in style...

 

Just pulled this out of the mailbox...

 

I ordered JKS bar pin eliminators and replaced a few nuts and bolts so they looked prettier. Then just went through and did some tightening of other bolts.
I really need to get on it with upgrading the battery terminals and cables.

 

put some silver star head lights in
