When I get ready to make bumpers/sliders I will get one too. I figure it will run me about the same price to buy the welding setup as it would to have some fabbed up for me, and I could make lots of other stuff to break!:headbang::headbang:

Know of any one that makes 12" MTs?


I am starting on building some sliders tomorrow. Just picked up 72' of 1 3/4" square tube, 1/8 wall.

with that much steel you'll be able to have enough steel left over to re-frame your truck :tease:

This is what I am thinking too.



My work area is a floor of 1.5" stone gravel so those little casters on the front wont cut it. I may use 6" pneumatic casters in the front and 16-20" bicycle tires in the back.


Imagine what I could do with a welder with 8" of lift!!!:icon_idea::woot::icon_hornsup: :icon_twisted: ;missingteeth;:3gears:

ATV tires would be perfect actually.......


Ok, revised lift plan, 2 ATV tires in back and one big caster off of a Scag commercial mower for the front. Those things are about 8" diameter and 4" wide or more.

I like where this is going... Keep the ideas flowing!
