Well Im gonna try to get caught up a little here. Keep in mind I havent updated since May so umm yeah lots has changed...well everything except progress...thats still slow as per usual.

Found another dana 44 8 lug open knuckle f250 axle with 4.10s in good shape for cheap so I bought it. The extra housing I was setting up will be for another project or sold depending.

Stripped cleaned and painted the new axle but I lost a bunch of pictures off my phone this summer but you have all seen a painted dana 44

Got a plasma/arc/tig setup from gianttech.com I have been happy with it so far. I have only used the plasma so far but it cuts 3/8 plate no problem. This summer I was waiting on tools and wasnt motivated to fab so I did some ghetto bodywork and painting. I know it dont look good but I dont care. Hate if you want.

Blah blah blah......Pics















my new rig from giantech plasma/arc/tig

Haha, what's the deal with the squirrel?

I need to get a plasma cutter and a nice 220v MIG welder.

Yeah that just kinda snuck in there. It was from squirrel opener this year. I wish I had gotten a 220 mig but I didnt have access to 220 at the time. Once I get the tig setup I doubt I will use it much anyway. But yeah the plasma is AMAZING to have.
