    I forgot about Hobart, they're miller's non infinite adjustment machines, they have a 140, and a 187, they'd be cheaper, just stay away from the 125s.

    Well then, you probably already know what you like in a welder, do you remember what kind the shop had? If so go with something similar.

    Next is the new shift nob that i stoled off of my holloween cane i had.
    [​IMG]


    Next is 2 pics of the 4runner bumper and valance i threw on to see how it looks. Needs to be cleaned and the paint takin off of the middle of the bumper. Also threw on some new headlights cause the other stock ones got a rock right through it and stopped working.

    Thats it for now but i still have to throw on the 4runner grille and headlights. Also waiting on some tires for the 300 steelies i have and also waiting to put on the exhaust and 4in blocks to. Hopefully i will have all this done before the forbidden fantasy show. I also want to repaint my truck with some kind of design. Does anyone have any ideas. Pics would help. So what do you guys think so far?

    Regarding welders,Miller/Hobart,wire feed ,gas,220/110 machines will do most all you need. I have a 110 -140 amp unit works great,no problems. Would rater have got the fore mentioned,but didn't give it much thought @ the time!:cool:

    FLACOSTACO>>>>Trade the exhaust for what?

    YANKEETACO72>>>>Would love to but seeing how my wife and her dad are trying to get stuff fixed around here has limited me on doing stuff and have any room to work on anything. Plus they keep loosing any tools i have. Its kinda pissing me off. But hey a happy wife is a happy life. So im down to grab all the stuff i have to put on this thing and drive up there to put this thing on the ground. Plus to get out of this house.

    BUMP^^ Also i was wondering what do you guys think about just running my stock fenders with them rolled instead of the 4wd ones? Also what about rocking the stock chrome grille with my 4runner bumper and valance instead of the 4runner grille? Not to sure what direction i want to go.

    Chrome grille for sure. I have no preference on 4wd VS 2wd rolled fenders so do whatev on that. I have a handle send me your address in a PM and I will send it to you via USPS. Dont worry should be more than $4 glad to help a brother out. Im so diggin the runner bumper setups Ive been seeing so maybe I'll go that route. I hate changing my mind everyday

    im the same way...do both, put a rolled on one side 4x4 on the other see which one you like better, or do a rolled 4x4 fender:D

    and i say go with the stock grill and 4runner bumper..i like that look, thats what ima do, just cant find a good 4runner bumper to save my a$$
