    Here we go... 1969/70 Chevy C10/K20 projects

    How’s the rust around the windshield and the drip rails? Oh, and this needs a cheap aluminum shell on it and you could turn it into a Farmtruck clone

    New welder

    If I remember right, on the Hobart the spool holder has a tensioner that you can crank down tight. On my present Miller portable, I keep a small bungee in it to tie the spool down during transport since I can’t tighten that one down enough

    New welder

    I had the 110. It served me well for many years. One piece of advice. Lock down your wire spool before transporting the welder. The wire will tend to unroll while traveling. When it does, it has the chance to short out the positive and negative connections. If this happens and you power it up...

    Wells Cargo 20ft fast trac as car hauler?

    Wells Cargo lighting gets its power supply from the trailers brake battery. Most likely, your battery is dead. Now would be a good time to upgrade that mini battery to a regular deep cycle battery with a tender.

    What are your retirement plans?

    Having recently done this at the ripe old age of 58, I’ve read a lot of good advice here, and a lot of just dreams that will never come true. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome is the cost of health care. Plan ahead for that and over budget. You’re going to need it. If relocating is in...

    EJS 2021 Canceled (update: it's back on)

    I’ve been chucking at some of the uneducated comments in here, it’s like a flashback to the late 80’s and 90’s. It was the mountain bikers against the Jeepers back them, and they spewed the same bullshit some of you are now. We jeepers were tearing up the landscape and making all sorts of noise...

    Large volume water storage?

    The off grid folks here use the black 1000 gallon tanks. There are companies here who deliver that quantity, but most haul it in, in the smaller plastic totes. Home Depot here stocks them, so I’m sure you could order one in. I don’t know how you’ll handle the freeze issue, we don’t deal with...

    Preventative maintenance on a GM 5.3

    If I didn’t know the history of the engine I’d plan on replacing the intake manifold gaskets. Not an expensive job, just a bit of a pain.

    Anyone do auto glass?

    When I lived there, Bestway Auto Glass was always the lowest cost and he does awesome service. He did all my personal vehicles, as well as our company vehicles.
