    Some welding trucks for your perusal

    So..... I know this isn't a military truck. But I made the bed myself and it is militarily inspired. I will get to my HMMWV weld truck next so have patience with me. This is an old 24 valve Cummins I bought from a friend. It was stock and white at that time with no bed, now it is lifted on bags.

    Hey from Socal

    I am curious about a Montana Montana LLC. It would be great if you could share what you know. Just got another truck and would like to explore that option. Welcome

    custom C-pillar construction, what is the radius of the bends in the corners?

    If anyone knows the angle the c-pillar leans forward, please post it. I am ready to weld now and will just go with what looks good and doesn't interfere with removing the welder if I can't find the correct angle soon. *edit* I decided to match the angle of the welder. Its not as steep as...

    custom C-pillar construction, what is the radius of the bends in the corners?

    Hey, don't know if you have already completed your c-pillar project. I am currently in the middle of my own and stopped in to see if there was any info on the angle that they are kicked forward. While I'm here, thought I could share some things I've picked up. Have been in touch with a fella out...

    colorado registration?? and Members

    Welcome to the neighborhood. I grew up in the northeast and ended up here. You are gonna love the weather difference. Although, I don't envy your winter storm trips down Crow hill. Wish I could help with the 5 ton registration. I can add that you aren't required to display your tags here in...

    Adding bells and whistles

    Right you are. I don't think it will be an issue for him though. It isn't a street vehicle. It primarily rolls over the mountains at a slow pace. Probably goes 25 mph top speed between campsite and playground.

    Adding bells and whistles

    This modification to a rockwell axle is not for my truck, it is for a friends rock crawler. Undoubtedly it has been featured elsewhere in the forum, but I thought it was interesting enough to share here. It gains about 1 3/4 inches of clearance and is more than twice as thick than the original...

    Adding bells and whistles

    Slapped together some quick flag pole mounts. One inch pipe makes a perfect sleeve for 3/4" electrical conduit.

    M1009 starts, runs like 5 seconds and dies.

    Seems like it's always air in the fuel with these things, glad to hear you found the leak. Nice work

    Cutting Safety

    I can relate to this one... I was doing some ironwork years ago, sitting on the edge of a beam about three or four stories up. Cutting a bracket that was in the wrong place. My pant leg had ridden up, so the top of my laceless boots made a nice funnel that directed a large piece of slag to the...

    This looks bad

    That's Dually, my dog, he loves the back of trucks. He will jump in yours if you don't stop him. And that makes better sense that I am looking at the worm gear. It is the top hole, so I assumed it was the filler. The other side looks to be bone dry. I will start breaking it down and show what I...

    This looks bad

    *Update* Maybe I can turn this thread in the direction of fixing this winch problem with or without seller's help. I greatly appreciate all who have given advice and hope to learn more. I was able to remove the cover without taking the bumper off. It looks like there is no damage other than the...
