Obrigado.

Looks good now it needs a wrap

 

[Mikey P]

Very nice, but is it Bob Foster Tough?

 

[Bjorn]

one thing I am going to say about bob he does have a great eye for things and details the wraps he came up with instead of powder coating stuff how his truck looks and the wraps and art work is top shelf. I have used bob's input on quite a few things because I get into the mechanical and how things work and he has a good eye the aesthetics which I do not.

 

[Mikey P]

I would agree with that, for the most part.


To bad his input come across in such a meddlesome way.

 

[Bjorn]

I would agree with that, for the most part.

We're all a bunch of nut jobs here.


It's nice to have a group here that knows and embraces it.

The other forums and their pretentiousness are sickening. Rob, Bob, Cooper, Chip, Skip or what ever his name is this month just give me the willies.


Welcome back Terje, I missed you.

We know why Terry is back. He has something to sell. Looks like this time we dont need a generator or 63 power cords to start what he is trying to peddle.

LOL looks like it would keep your neck warm too.

TIG or stick? You do it yourself? Nice welding.

[Bjorn]

stick. I bent it my friend welded it

 

[AshleyMckendree]

Terry, The white haze around the weld bead looks like you use a welder with "Clearance Effect" that cleans the metal as you weld. I'm just starting to play with the A/C Square Wave mode on my Tig welder for Alum. Ive put a few Alum stick Electrodes in the tig collet to try out stick welding Alum. But the flux it left behind was so thick and messy, I had to sandblast it off to see the Weld, that crap is almost harder than the aluminum itself!

What Aluminum Electrode brand do you recommend?

 

[Willy P]

just give me the willies.

WTF did I do?

 

[Desk Jockey]

The shorter list is "what don't you do".

Terry, Is that a special gear oiling device installed on the old RX or just a simple beer bottle left there to make a mess when it falls over?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Its an oiling device for Terry after a long day.....wait a minute Terry doesn't work long days.

Its for after a tough round of golf. Terry just didn't show us in the picture where he plans to put his golf bag.

I thought about getting a smaller cube like that. I've got two of the express spartan vans.

 

[Desk Jockey]

I like the Spartan's. You can pack quite a bit of stuff in them yet still have the standard van feel to them.

 

[Willy P]

I like the Spartan's.

I bet you do!

 

[Jeremy N]

What did you put on the floor of the van?

Ashley, I have a TIG welder now, but I used some aluminum stick electrodes several years ago. As I recall, the flux was water soluble. Hot water and a stiff brush took it off. I don't know if all aluminum rod is the same though, YMMV.

 

[Clean Response]

I think I would of made the door go the other way. I would be worried about going down the interstate and it opening up.

Why did you raise the heater and the vac reel?

Can you reach the vac reel from outside or do you need to get inside to reach it?

Thanks just wondering.

Specs on the "Petro Viking"?

 

[rwcarpet]

Hopefully I will have a cube van project going by next week. Friggin banks. All the goodies...big ass TM, water pond, 150 gal waste, apo, water softener, 'lectric reels. This will be my final project before turning over to the kids!

 

[Bjorn]

raise the hose reel makes it even with the wheel wells and takes up less pace also when needed it can be removed with out having to go under the van.
same with the little giant also getting it off the floor makes it better to keep from freezing every thing is mounted on a rail or angle iron ( aluminum ) the angle aluminum is bolted to the floor then components are bolted to the angle aluminum even the truck mount so removal of any item can be done in minutes with out having to crawl under the truck.

 

[Jeremy N]

Can somebody tell me what the cornbread heck is going on?! That looks like a gas powered TM.
