project daily/wheeler b3000

oh yes sorry ive been a little busy with school.
turns out it wasnt the gas, just a coincidence that both our trucks had the same symptoms.
after messing with it for a bit i started to go back to the basics and found that my timing some how jumped 20degrees. so i retimed it and its been running great since, still dumb founded on how the timing jumped.

also due to my stupidity, on sunday my passenger side wheel bearing grenaded its self and left me stranded 10 miles from home. i forgot to repack my wheel bearings after the super wet and muddy wheeling trip a week and a half earlier. the inner part of the bearing practically welded it self to my passenger side spindle, chisel, torch, vice-grips, nothing could get it off, so i ran to the pull apart in tacoma and got a spindle off an explorer for 4 bucks.

sad sight first truck to get towed home.

and what i saw when i pulled the rotor off

this weekend i plan to start working on my front bumper again, and fix our old 1975 volvo 164 so i can sell it and use the money for a new welder or plasma cutter

im kinda bias towards miller lol the 140 i have now has gone through hell and back. and i have been helping out part time at a local fab shop and they have all miller welders, but if i get a plasma cutter i will be hypertherm

Im just saying... nothing wrong with those two, but I own an everlast tig and plasma, and they have been great

made a lot of progress on the front bumper today, the main section/winch plate is pretty much done with d-rings and bolts up to the frame. now im kinda stuck, i have to wait for a guy to get back in town early next week to cut the last few pieces with his plasma cutter. i would be there all day if i used cut off wheels to make the long cuts, its almost easier to wait.

i will post up pictures soon

oh no problem, guess i have good timing?



got some more done, and the pictures i promised. yes its alittle lower on the passenger side, i quickly threw it on the truck, and didnt worry about aligning it.

still alot left to build on it, but its starting to take shape. you can only build so fast with a cut-off wheel

 

[RacinNdrummin]

Too bad im so far away, My plasma would do work quick....

 

[Endoverend47]

its ok i finished all the big stuff, all thats left is resses some fogs, maybe a stinger, and cap the ends
i will add pictures later tonight gotta go get cleaned up

bumper update

heres the progress so far, i only painted it because i wont be able to work on it for a few days and with all the rain washington gets i dont want it to start rusting.

if you look close you can see my friends 240sx(sr20det, rhd, cage, megan coilovers, fuel cell etc)

how it sits at the moment

 

[RacinNdrummin]
