Radiator Expansion Tank Relocation?
Blevinger replied to Blevinger's topic in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders
I've just got a cheap Eastwood 110v MIG welder. That with a bottle, cart, gloves and a helmet was all of ~$600. One of the 4x4 magazines said Eastwood had the best welder under $300 (a few years ago). I've used some big, nice ones before, and this sucker will do anything I need it to. Good products. -
Beater/DD r50 Pathfinder - Gotta Find Some Trails
Blevinger replied to Blevinger's topic in New People Start Here!
Thanks, man. Roof rack came with the rig. It's not made for the r50; I think it's off a Jeep (Cherokee?) and it's just bolted in a couple spots to the r50's luggage rails. Point being, find a cheap one and tie on! Yeah, that would be easy. Another thing I want to do is made add some secondary curves to the sides of the main hoop. Something to better protect the headlights. -

Finally got the front armor done. Nothing underneath yet. -
I've been wondering about this too...
-
Yeah, you definitely don't go in from the back. Can't remember exactly but it's from the top or through the front, around the trim piece.

Welders, i want one, tell me what i should get.
Blevinger replied to ferrariowner123's topic in The Garage
I have this one from Eastwood (great company). It's $340 http://www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html Got it with the plasma cutter and cart and some other goodies. I was like you a few years ago. Wanted to learn, took some classes at a local artists studio, now it's all I ever want to do in my free time. -
Earning it there in that photo.
