Fab work is my bread and butter. My boyfriend does the mechanical, I do the fab. The dog makes sure our tool boxes never run out of slimy tennis *****. We make a good team

 

How do I do that? To be honest, I'm new to forums in general. I'm not really a people person so I'm not really into social media. I figured I would just jump in and see what happened. I'm using the android app for this forum and I'm still trying to find my way around. Could you give me some tips on how to navigate this thing? From what I can tell it's pretty straight forward, but I get the feeling you could tell me some things about how to do this that aren't so obvious.

 

For instance, why can't I set my profile picture? I set it, but then it just changes back to blank after a few minutes. What's up with that?

 

No idea about the app. I have an android too but I just use a browser. Go to the modified tech section under jeep builds. Create a thread with the name of your build and post there anytime you do something to your jeep. It acts like a log of whats been done for many people who do a build thread.

 

That's awesome! I've been keeping a notebook to keep track of what I do to it. That's great that I can turn out into a thread! Do you have a thread for yours?

 

Not just yet. My jeep is essentially stock but when I start nodding I'll make one.

 

HAHAHA

 

yea you need a build thread, all that fab. I would love to see it. Creating a build thread is just as easy as creating this introductory thread you made here. Go to the "technical discussion", then "Jeep builds". Then create a thread there. Think of it as more of a blog, you post pictures of progress and a story to along with it. It gives people the chance to be a "virtual buddy" hangin' in the garage with you as you build your Jeep.

It wouldn't let me look at your thread. I need to take more pictures of what we're doing to my jeep. I have enough to start a thread I think, but I'm not big on social media so I'm not really used to the idea that anyone is actually interested in what I'm doing at any given moment. Kids these days, amirite?

 

I found out that the freeze plug want the only leak though. It needs a new radiator. But we started it up and it sounded great! That was really satisfying. When we paint it, I want to do a bride of Frankenstein thing. That grey streak she had in her hair, that could go down the side. Maybe "bride of Frankenstein"on the hood in purple. Or just keep it black. Matte black, with a gloss black stripe along the body line. And do the whole interior in that red lumberjack plaid. That might be a bit much though. That's a lot of plaid.

 

I guess you found a name for your build!

 

I guess I have! In all likelihood, I'm probably just going to leave it looking like a mess with mismatched fenders. It's gonna get messed up anyway. That is my intention anyway.

 

hmm, you did just click on the link right? Works on both of my phones. Weird.

I wouldnt say that this forum is like traditional social media. It's a specialized forum. If this was a clock makers forum, other clock makers would be interested in seeing what you doing with clocks. Think of it more as a club house. Cheers!

 

Dogs. Hahaha.

Perfect companions for the Jeep world.

Not good with power equipment.
