The expanding foam is to take up space and use less oil. This rear weighs a ton so I don't know why someone thinks taking up some space and saving a gallon or two of oil is going to save much weight but it doesn't hurt anything. This rear will be going 300 feet at a time, lubrication will not be...

Worked on the truck this weekend. Got the new rear cut out of the other frame and prepped, and removed the old rear from my truck. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

HD-9xw with bridge jack shipped to 21921 please

Thanks LXCam. I was just starting research about upgrading power to the building, but instead of spending $5k+ on that now, I will just add a couple 240v circuits, and pay attention to what is running simultaneously. I can always upgrade later if I find it necessary. Right now I need to focus...

Got the dash for the pull truck mocked up. Next up is getting the gauges mounted, and starting on all of the wiring harness, power distribution.

I am an admitted "electrical illiterate" and much of what has been asked here are things I can not answer. It seems I have come to the right place though, as I was under the impression that the current 70A power was way undersized for what I want to do. The current power is 240v 70A. The only...

I have a 50x36 garage with 16' ceilings and plenty of space and yet the previous owners powered this "shop" with a 70amp subpanel, off of a 100amp subpanel that is in the pool house. :eyecrazy: Anyway, I need POWER. I have a 220v compressor, and have future plans for a lift, decent sized 240v...

I have been doing a bunch of work with a Eastwood 135 on 120v here the last few days and I am impressed with it also. I'm a novice welder, so I'm not able to pick out the little things a professional may take issue with, but it's getting the job done and has not given me any problems. Sent from...

Working on the sheetmetal dash/cockpit for the pull truck tonight. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

Thanks Strouty. A good friend of mine is going to let me borrow his Miller 211 and plasma cutter to finish up my pulling truck this spring so I will get to see how it does. I have a generator that I can use to run it on 240 with. The main issue with the power upgrade is that I have to trench...

Yes the possibilities...I can not wait. The deal with my father is that my wife and I will be paying the note on this place along with all the other expense, but my father help outfit the shop to suit our needs. In the distant future that includes a 4 post lift, LOTS of shelving and storage...

Thank you. The garage has been the best part since moving in. The week we moved I lost a 2nd gear lever in my daily driver transmission. So we dropped the trans and fixed it on the floor and put it back in the next weekend. Just this past weekend I went through the front end and did ball...

The current state of things...its full. I still have not got all my boxes of parts, tools, fluids, etc put away from the move because I have almost no shelving or storage space for all of it. Luckily we have been slowly getting alot of the "non garage items" carried upstairs to the storage...

The summer chill zone, we moved in October 1st and got to take 1 celebratory dip in the pool before it was too cold and had to close it up.

Long time lurker, and have posted on occasion but decided to share my place and hope to get some ideas on how to organize it better as its a disaster currently. My wife and I bought the new place back in October. It is quite the upgrade from our old 2 bed, 2 bath starter home with a 24x24...

Re: The Building of Coop's Place of Mayhem Wow Coop, just read this entire thread as I have been away from GJ for awhile. The scout build looks awesome. Glad to see you sticking with the diesel engine as I am a diesel head. If you ever have doubts about that HF engine stand, dont worry. Mine...

Re: 4,by four,for four Way to stick with the build even when the first building failed. So after reading your story back in the beginning about the charger hitting the garage door, I have to tell you about my fathers event back in the early 90's. He was restoring a 66 mustang with the 200 I6...

Would you mind sharing roughly what you have spent to get your garage to this point? We are house hunting, and finding a house with the garage I want is almost impossible, so I need to make sure we are budgeting enough to allow me to build a proper garage.

Their corporate office is in MD...trust me they pay taxes. This state taxes businesses so much that they are leaving in droves to go to places like Texas.

I learned that if I am ever in need of cash, apparently welders are the ticket to quick buck over other scam options like I-phones, TV's, or tablets.
