My new welder arrived today, its a lincoln 180 power mig. This is a great little welder but i found its a lot harder to weld with then my chicago electric was, but with a little practice i figured it out. Also i need to get a cart for it cause as you can see im using a office chair.
I also burned in the cross member, this thing is strong! i added 10 gussets over all so im sure that had a big effect on the strength

Hopefully i can get my 39s sold so i can buy a 14 bolt from a guy off the fourm, it has 5.13s and a welded diff. that way when i get my 5.13s for the front off 95yjjeep i can just throw some driveshafts in there and be 4x4 again.
But ive also decided to not try to four link the rear yet because theres no way ima have the funds with going to NTI in July so im go with 63 chevys and a double shackle set up. And I'm going to get a one piece rear driveshaft. And as soon as i get the money the body lift will be coming off and ill be droping the rock sliders and either making a new front bumper or modifying it, ill probly get rid of the rear bumper and bob the bed.
....I'm about to change the name of this thread to money pit
