Welding/ lift install help

<< < (3/3)

Grizzly4x4:
I found someone at work who can weld!
Hooray for facilities, I didn't know that they had all kinds of welding equipment left over from a buildout.  //SLAMIN//
And that means no delay on my lift install! Well besides for whenever the kit decides to show up (RRO said about two weeks yesterday when I called them).

Blue J:
Cry once and get it done right the 1st time. Allsouth welded my c-gussets and did an excellent job. If I add an Artec truss they will be doing it. That being said I weld and have been welding for several years but I do not have a mig welder nor the automotive expertise. I don't want to cook any key components. That's why I pay a professional.

I welded my sliders. They look crappy (flux core weld) but who cares they will probably get bent or broken eventually.

If you are going to teach yourself to weld, learn to butt weld two pieces together. Weld in different positions. Learn what will happen when you burn through a thinner piece. Watch plenty of U tube video's, remember you want it to sound like you are frying eggs. Let us know how it comes out.
