    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Made a new food grate for barbecue. 1/4" 304 stainless round bar. Closed the ring with added filler, the cross bars just got their ends melted and fused to the ring. My first time working with stainless, very different heat conducting properties from mild steel.

    EcoBoost

    I love the 36 gal tank. I have a range of almost 600 miles when out exploring dirt roads. Fill-ups can be painful, though.

    EcoBoost

    I just did a run to Idaho Falls last weekend and got 19mpg @ 83 mph.

    Any locksmiths here? Gun safe needs cracked...

    lube probably thickened. I'd flush it clean and re-lube with a dry lube like graphite or moly.

    Tent Trailer EXPO Build

    I really want to build a trailer but until I have a vehicle that goes where my current fat pig does (F150 with a really sweet 36 gal tank} can't , it doesn't make sense. At this point, I'd love to provide welding/fab help to someone doing their own.

    If your wife were a 4x4 rig...

    how to learn

    I'll add my 2 cents. 1) Be patient with yourself when you screw it up (you will mess up something) Those folks that can do it perfectly and quickly have already messed it up a time or two. 2) It will take far longer to do than you think because that manifold stud will break or parts won't...
