if you wanna burn money............ buy me something!!!!
they do make life easier, you can do the same with paper though. I just learned how to do it quick form all the tubing work at jims or ponyracers. And what lies you spreading when im not around. none of the cage joints were anything but money! Only gaps i deal with are the ones in my teeth!

wildwood · « **Reply #181 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:31:12 PM »

Glad yer back on line.

I just got to learn how to use the new tools I got

Also been back to learn more welding..................... tig this time............... shiny tig cage joints are a coming up oh yes oh yes

doublej · « **Reply #182 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:42:39 PM »

they are easy - just slide them on the tubing and push it to the joint, but unless you've gotten a plasma cutter, your still gonna have to use the grinder.
and tig is deff the better welder, you'll love it. I wont do another build without one.

wildwood · « **Reply #183 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:47:07 PM »

Learnt a nasty little trick ..............to bling up my tig welds to impress the teacher

Hit them with a wire wheel and they bling up like a feckin Rolex..................... almost makes me want to do a cage nekeed and then clearcoat it.

doublej · « **Reply #184 on:** February 06, 2012, 01:04:34 AM »

hit them with a gold wire wheel and watch what happens. lol

So ......... been doing things that don't warrant pics........

Today (whilst waiting for suppliers/liars to deliver???) I stripped front axle to do stuff........

Whilst cleaning crap off UJs on the Dana 60 noticed one was real tight and the other as sloppy as a sloppy thing.... turns out they are nearly toast...... with the locker in might have lasted an hour or so

Pain in the butt but glad I found it before they let go.........

USA Automotive....... after internet help with nos. apparently Dana Spicer 5-806X is not recognized

£45 each...but they are big feckers

Just done the rear front to go next week......

Cleaned up and ghayed up the brakes too

wildwood · « **Reply #192 on:** April 05, 2012, 11:27:39 AM »

Tis worth adding to your collection for later

Keep us posted on the price and gearing.... Also late one ie kingpin or balljoint. Kingpin is the one to have!

wildwood · « **Reply #193 on:** April 06, 2012, 04:51:41 PM »

Lucky bugger it is the trailer of choice!!!

I get my spare parts from Barlow Trailers very reasonable price and normally in stock.

wildwood · « **Reply #196 on:** April 06, 2012, 06:03:52 PM »

How very strange???

'twas looking at them and their stock over the last few weeks almost made the move

Hopefully this one is a few £££ cheaper and up near King CJ so for me a tank cheaper!

This way I won't have a rear view mirror full of Dana 60, will all be a bit lower and more stable

isle of man · « **Reply #197 on:** April 06, 2012, 06:07:03 PM »

Ahhh you have seen the light.

Honestly it's a great trailer for the wide boys!!!

Used one of these for the West Harp wknd:

Brian James BTT-35T, very unerving with the vehicle high up

Needed to Suck down the Suspension due to the excessive body roll of the Pick-up

Those CT 177 look a better option...

and it helps to remember the key so you can take it off the tow car
