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.

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
 
Yeah looked killer dude...Thanks for the early pics.

Caught me right when I was walking into hooters...
