I just wanted to make sure you guys know that my welder is available for use if it stays in my garage. Webbuff I am speaking to you especially. That would make the weld together plate bumper offered by NW Trail Innovations a possibility. $370 for a plate bumper is an incredible deal. All I ask is that you come prepared with a10# spool of .035 flux core weld wire.

 

That is awesome for you to offer Nathan. Quite the timing actually too because I just ordered these yesterday:






He shipped them 2 hours after the order was placed too. Also he gives a 5% discount to YT members. I'm quite impressed to say the least.


I am going to the Sounders game on Saturday. Are you free Sunday? If they arrive by then (fingers crossed).

 

Wow that is super cool of you man, I will be sure to take a second look at that bumper then

What would the donation for the welder himself? hehe

I like those sliders, what was the cost shipped?

 

For my 1st gen it was $269 shipped after the YT discount. They are 1.75 x .120 DOM too. Hell of a price if you ask me.

 

Indeed, I really like the rounded kick out in the back.

Sexy!

You go DOM or HREW?

 

DOM of course.

 

Well I guess I could weld them up for you, however I would really prefer for you to learn how to weld yourself. What a perfect opportunity. I will of course provide pointers and tips. I will be available all weekend. That is a great deal on the sliders. I was thinking about building some myself but now you've got me rethinking that.

 

Nah bro I wasn't expecting you to weld them for me while I ate popcorn. I fully planned on taking it as an opportunity to learn to weld as well as get them on. Something I've wanted to learn for some time now. I just live in a condo and have no garage or I would have already purchased a welder.

 

YES precisely, sorry my comment was vague. I would absolutely want to learn to do it myself.. I am too OCD not too lol

I just meant what kind of kick-back did ya want for your knowledge/access hehe

 

I don't speak for him but a case of beer goes a long way between friends usually. Just an idea

 

I know it does for me

 

A case!? Man, used to be a sixer was enough, inflation's a beeoch, lol!

All joking aside, welding is pretty easy to learn and takes a lifetime to master. I learned doing TIG and then ARC and MIG a few years ago and it doesn't take much practice to get things structurally sound, but making it LOOK good too, that's the tricky part. Of course, it doesn't matter how ugly it is if you've got enough grinding discs .

 

That should be a motto for life or something lol

 

Thought I would let you guys know a friend of mine from "King County 4x4 Search and Rescue"
Is selling his Superwinch Talon 9.5 winch for $640. This is the winch I have researched for a replacement for my warn if it ever breaks.

Yeah I have to get my bumper to mount it on first. I also don't know if I would go with anyone except warn. I don't really like the sounds of something as vital as a winch being made in China. Good looking out though on letting us know. Someone else in the club might not be so snotty about such things as me lol.

 

Unfourtunately warn uses Chinese manufacturing for a lot of the components in their winches these days. I learned that when I needed to replace some parts on mine. They are only assembled in Portland any more.

 

˟˟˟˟...really? Well I have to ask why is your buddy getting rid of his Super? I find usually people don't get rid of products they are happy with.

*EDIT* I see he says that it would not fit in his bumper.
