zmotorsports, what C gussets and sleeves did you use on your Jeep? What year is your Jeep, I have a 2010 2 door Rubicon, love it. Like you I have read about the axles, the Rubicon uses Dana 44s, but they say they are still prone to bending. I have been thinking about sleeves and C gussets, and...

thanks zmotorsports, you are right about trying to explain it to the owner, and get money from them.....I also enjoy doing this work, makes you think, and you feel good when its done and the guy is on his way. In this case, the new part was over $1000.00 I was told, and I did it for MUCH...

Very nice work Nastyzen!! What is the clearance you have them set up for? (material thickness) ? Any ideas on the price per set yet? What is the material? Again, very nice!!

thanks riceburner, a few people have mentioned heating the part to bring the crud to the surface, then cleaning again, Im gonna try that next time...and Ill crank the machine up a touch more, thanks for the tips

as far as I know Nuttsgt, its still holding. I havent seen him to talk about it, just in passing at the coffee shop etc .... I use wet rags around stuff also to help pull heat out of things...

Chris, thanks for the kind words, I like doing jobs like this, they make you think, and you dont know until you try.....lol

No chris, my TIG needs alot more practice, and I only have a Squarwave 175, so I wasn't sure if it had enough umphf to do it

thanks guys for the kind words, Sberry, I want to be clear to you and a few others, this was not done with TIG, this I did with a Miller spoolgun. Just want to make sure were all on the same page lol. Thanks again guys, as far as I know its still holding up

I have racks similar to mikec and amcguy, its 1/4"x3" flat stock that is bolted to the wall, with 2"x2"x1/4" angle iron welded to it, with 2"x1/8" flat welded to the angle so stuff dont roll off. They are about 6-7' tall.....work great

Thanks for the pointers and info ZT, gives me something to shoot for lol...

hmmm, is there any "set" approach for machine settings that you could give us as a guide, somewhere to start. Now that you mention it, i do remember getting less spatter at times, now i understand why......again, thanks for sharing your knowledge

as always ZT, awesome work!! Thanks for providing yet more incentive for guys like me to strive for

Maybe just staple plastic sheeting to the rafters for the winter to help keep the heat in

Nice work on the shop! And your fixtures are beautiful! Thanks for sharing

I have a separate, designated welder outlet on its own circuit. This is for a horizontal handsaw that will be in one spot 95% of the time, but if I need to cut a 20' length I can move the saw to the other area. Thanks guys

I want to have a 220v outlet in 2 locations to use a saw in 2 spots,can I pigtail off the first outlet to a second one or do i need to run another line from the panel box? They will not both be used at the same time

awesome idea!

awesome work on the grill!!!

55shoebox, do you have a pic of yours and the cart? Sounds good, the plans are very well drawn out, hoping I can get to it this winter, then make some stuff for my Jeep. What size dies have you used? I would probably never use any larger than 1 3/4"

you guys that built the got trikes bender, did you make any changes or do anything a little different? Would you change anything if doing it over? I bought the plans and hope to get to it this winter. I have all the material, just have to purchase the jack and casters and of course a die set.
