Well the last project I have is building my front winch bumper. I am an ok welder and can get the materiels. But I have a hobert 135. and am afraid that it wont weld deep enough for winch support. Also a second pare of hands seem to help also.
Man if any one could help that would be great.
Allso I am putting together a basterd set of rear leafs and still need a couple of leaves. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I am an intirior trimmer and do very good work. and am willing to help if someone needs it.

Allso can some one show this DumbF%&T how to use my new harbor frieght tire changer!!!!!

Im in montgomery, near naparville, aurora.

Lawncher' has one of the tire changers, you might shoot him a PM, I know he has used it quite a bit.

a 135 will do about 90+% of Jeep fabrication just fine, so an economical way to weld those thick items would be to get an old 220v arc welder, which can often be found used for under $100.

Ive thought of that . Actully trere is one in craigs list, but I am actully saving my penies for one of the new Millers. I just need to get a bumper on this thing soon so I can wheel it.


Once I figure this tire changer, I can help any locals if needed.

Mine has paid for itself at least ten-fold. This is one of the HF gems.
