What's your latest purchase?

If I owned the place, it would’ve been built awhile ago.

 

Bilstein 5100's

 

Got my Andersen low kit to finally finish up the .300blk

 

Gonna be a beauty!
I wish i could have pistol length uppers here in cali. Thats where 300blk shines.......and with a suppressor. Be ready for .50/rd (thats why mine is in the back of the safe)

 

Custom sliders built and installed. Thanks Tom @ Automail Industries - the cutouts for hi lift jacking points are a nice touch!

 

New sight for the new bow I'm getting ready to buy. I got out bid at a silent auction for the baby groot chia pet at my son's school so had to go the Amazon route.

 

Look great! Any chance you'all crawl under and show us where/ how these connect to the frame?

 

They are welded on. Pics incoming. His welds are fantastic!

I need to paint, haven't made it home yet though.

 

And a really cute baby for good measure.

 

First mod needs to be a tooth bar, trust me.

 

best pic I got of tooth bar.

 

Rock lights are in. Suprised that these are metal housings. Just confused why these things need double hot wire.

 

It looks like there are two bulbs in each one. Even though they're LED's (or at they appear to be), they probably pull a lot of current and the double hot wires keep the wiring from over heating. Do they list an amp rating, and what gauge wire do they recommend?

 

This is all i get from them

 

These will be here Wednesday.

 

I would say it has 2 power wires, one to the battery and one to an ignition powered, to prevent the lights from running when the key is not in the on positions. The control box may have an internal relay.

 

Scored a vintage “barn find” 1986 61cm Schwinn Peloton, scooped up for a song, weighs 20lbs. Ridden maybe 10 times. Excellent condition for a 32 year old bicycle. I installed new tires, a tune up scheduled, bearings greased, and then ride!

 

Jealous! Really want an SBR in 300 BLK with a can for a home defense rifle.

 

A new welder when my cheap one finally gave out... should be here Thursday

 

sweet. i love old steel frames. that was my first race bike. red frame with shimano sante groupset.



that was the last road bike i had with shimano on it. been a campy snob ever since.

i've been considering putting together an oxy/propane brazing setup and build myself a town cruiser or two.

 

i'd love one but i need to get 220 into the garage first.

 

I have a small business doing mobile welding and fabrication so I power it with a Miller bobcat

 

that's easy! next excuse.

 

in who's world? not mine.

we're in a 1946 house. the electrical panel is not something i'm comfortable in playing with.

 

ahh, been in that situation, own a 1950's home in FL...it's semi dicey, but definitely possible. had to tie two 120's together for a well pump, just killed power to the whole house for a few. I'm a EE but also a ex pool boy so i treated it like a lab experiment.

Ace sells what you'd need...or your favorite electrician...

 

hmm. parts + beer/pizza/burritos + speckmon = 220 in my garage.

 

ha, it's definitely been a minute, idk that you'd want me burning down your house

 

Party Time! I'll bring the marshmallows!

 

I love it! I actually go the upper from one of my customers for my past b-day!
