Turn the heat up on your welder,and you could even slow down the wire feed rate slightly. Other then the welds it looks really good,lol

 

[DILLIGAF]

Unless you can make my 120 welder a 240 It ain't happening.

Slow your wire feed down a bit then. I'm guessing you're using 0.030 mig wire,hunt up some 0.025 mig wire,it works better with a 120 volt mig.Crappy Tire should have 0.025 if it's hard to find

That thing rips. I have had one for a few years, I use it all the time! I always have a red scotchbrite pad loaded up in that thing.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Working on rear mount today, so much easier to build...lol...

 

[DILLIGAF]

That thing rips.

Sure does ! I'm liking it so much and it's way lighter then the M18 die grinder.

Next is a 2nd grinder, tired of swapping discs... lol

 

[DILLIGAF]

Wife just pulled me out of my shop, it's only 10pm , so I wasn't able to complete the rear mount.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Spent all day installing all of this just to figure out the rad mount and front support mount heights.

Will build those tommorow

My stance is ******* perfect Now I need to open up the front wheel wells to clear those 33's.... lol... Good thing I got an extra set of front fenders

 

[G-Ride990]

Are those wheels what you are planning on running? I think they look damn good on it so far.

 

[DILLIGAF]

Yes sir, my neighbor gave them to me. So the price was right on budget

 

[G-Ride990]

Haha perfect price and looks great! What wheels are they? Are they RAM wheels? They look familiar but different at the same time, can't place it
