Rangebe...version 2.0

[4.0B2]

Yea...my mastercraft 4.5" angle grinder was 19.99 plus taxes.....and Ive returned it 7 times, no questions asked. Sure, Id love to have a nice Walter grinder, but its hard to say no to 20 bucks for a couple years....

i'm the same way... my el cheapo harbor freight one that i got on sale for $12 is 3 years old, I got a dewalt a few months ago and had to take it back after using it twice.

Small update...got some parts in the mail. A pair of 1.25" shank forged bushings. Here is a picture next to a 1.25" heim, and beer can.

Any guesses where and what Im going to use them for??

Oh...and this should be here next week....

Dammit Boy! I still can't believe your going to paint it 1980s gold and black. lol

 

[kris97ranger]

[-Nathan-]

lol no gold boys. Going to be black, with orange accents, and some sort of charcoal colour.

Oh ok. "....this is Halloween. This is Halloween...." lol

I'm just messing with ya. Everything looks awesome man. I love all the plate work. How did you get it to form to the metal?

I dont have a torch, so I used what I had...a large bicep and a ball peen hammer

Got a bit of time to start on the radius arms, and also got my 2" 0.250 wall DOM home.

Most dezert guys make their rad arms out of 1.75 0.120 wall DOM, however, I build things for the apocalypse... this is 0.250 wall 2" DOM vs 0.120 wall 1.5" HREW......

Mount and 1.25" heim...

LOTS of measuring, fitting, and adjusting the placement of the beam.

Some math and measuring later...template and arm mount. These are just the initial cuts, still need to be rounded off. Remember, all I have is my angle grinder.

More to come later....stay tuned......

Been busy working on my house, but got a bit of time in the shop tonight. Wire wheeled the frame (ughh) and prepped for welding.

Made template, cut out steel (1/8") and welded in place.

Plated, and holes drilled for front hanger

And the start of my modifications to them.

Waiting on my wheels to come before I finalize my radius arms...you guys will have to wait for pics of those
