Monstaliner vs. Dupli-Color Bed Armor with Kevlar (Bed Liner) in the "Product Reviews" area. Check it out if you're in the market for bedliner.

Rebuilt the internals of my driver door in my 91. Change out the entire lock system, changed out the window seals, and window regulator. Not as hard as one might think. Check out the how to videos in "The Garage" section. More of those videos will be on the way.

Picked up a 95 Pathfinder today for parts. It's a rust bucket with 130,000 miles on the engine and trans. If the frame is salvageable You'll be seeing a full fledged rock crawler in the near future. Stay tuned for pics and video.

Looks nice.. I just did a respray of my bonnet (did a bit of a write-up on my facebook page and pics) not a bad job for my first ever spray painting attempt with a proper gun! Though I've got to finish the write up just like I have to finish the cut & polish to get a full shine, hehe.
It's definitely something that you should practice if only with thinners, but get used to the guns if you've not used them before.

Got my plasma cutter today
Works great. Will be making a pile of scrap tomorrow and really putting this and my new compressor to the test. Will post a review in the "Product Reviews" area soon.- Show previous comments 2 more

Yeah that's something I'm keeping an eye on. I don't have a permanent setup just yet but I'm running two filters right before they hit the machine and nether one has collected any water just yet. I'm about to head into the shop to to put a beating on both the plasma cutter and my compressor I just got. Will be back later with a full review.

Plasma cutter, JD2 Model 32 bender, and a few other odds and ends on the way. Can't wait!!!

I have a 90 amp HF welder. It by no means is a good welder but it get's the job done. For the $90 I paid for it I'll never complain. I got way more than my money's worth from it. I see it this way. If a tool pays for itself and then some, it's a great buy even if it doesn't last forever or work as well as the high priced equivalent.

Question - Buy a MIG welder and a combo TIG, Stick, and Plasma Cutter or just get the MIG and buy a tubing bender?

Some dip @!*% kid tried to race me tonight in his crappy rusted out lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee. I guess he figured because my truck was a little loud and that it's fixed up for 4 wheeling that I'd want to race? uhhh... lol If I was trying to make my truck fast I don't think I would have added all that weight to it lol. However his totally awesome blue LED lights that he stuck all over his dash I'm sure added a few extra horse power. Maybe I should have asked him if he want...

It had a V8. And unless he was riding a bike he'd still more than likely beat my pathy lol. It's not fast at all. It was slow before I added all that armor to it. I could have easily beat him off the line if I wanted to throw it in 4 low and smash on it. But then again I'm not trying to hurt my truck for the sake of racing some rust bucket. It's not built for that and never will be.

Finally passed NY State Safety Inspection. On the bright side after replacing both headlight I can report a dramatic improvement in lighting. I wasn't expecting that at all. My lights where good and the bulbs were newer.
-
Quick Update on the Pathy. Been fighting to get this thing to pass a "safety inspection" here in NY. They nit pick about stupid stuff. Had to replace both both headlights due to a very small chip in them. Had to replace my LED turn signals because they weren't DOT approved. Had to replace my turn signal switch because my high beams weren't working. Oh and had to adjust my e-brake because it didn't hold as well as they wanted it to.

The plus side is they don't sniff test anything 1995 and older! They basically check to see if you cat is rusted out. They look at your vacuum lines to make sure non are missing, Check your intake boot for cracks, make sure you have a PCV valve and smog pump if your car came with one. I could be running super rich and they wouldn't care. My O2 sensor could be bad and they wouldn't care. So I guess it's a fare trade.

"beauttiful scenery" how can you live in PA and think AZ has beautiful scenery? I walk out the house every day and get depressed. I drive around town for work and get depressed. Sure AZ has some pretty areas but Phoenix is down right ugly. I'm ready for something completely new. Not sure what kind of wheelin I'll find up there but I'll have plenty of know to play in.

Got My seats installed. About to order new TREs for the Calmini Steering I got from KovemaN. Hopefully I'll have all my current front end Mods taken care of within the next two weeks.

Headed to the JY to go get some JGC Springs. Will report back with pics when I'm finished.

I found one with some really heavy after market lift springs lol. I passed on those though. I spent way to much time trying to find factory tags. I gave up and just went with an 98 that looked like it had the thicker wire when comparing them to the others. Will post before and after pics once I'm finished putting them in here in a few.

Building my rock sliders this weekend. 2" square tubing 1/4 thick. Don't think I'll have issues bending them up.

Installed some Thermo-Tec Adhesive Backed Heat Barrier on the trans pan and also installed a 2nd very large Derale trans cooler to go with the smaller one that was installed when I got my trans rebuilt..
