I just want to easily keep up on progress. Make sure and post a pictures of your days labor. I'm especially interested in seeing Flattys weld progression, from sober to hammered :flipoff2:

They only get better as time progresses. By the end of the day I can weld 1" plate with a 110 welder

Dimtiri

I know the feeling, enough beer and I can kick anyones ass and satisfy all women, at once. :D

I'll have the digi cam ready for all the action.

I wanna build, bu I also want this damn Flu thing to go away!!!!!! Geez, I mean COME ON, GET OFF ME!!!! Fuck it, I am coming if I gotta be dragged out of my deathbed here.

Dimitri- If you can't make it, we need to reschedule. We can't go without or mad welder! :skull:

hope you get better quick.

Your fine :p if i make it i will try and bring some mixed drinks
that always makes you feel better

how come the more i drink the more i burn through when welding? i think i need more drinking practice

Oh I WILL be there. You can COUNT on that. As or the alchahol. I hear the more you drink, them better you feel, so I am gonna go home soon and drink that 12 pack I have sitting at home. Then I am gonna break out the sawzall and go hog wild on my Bronco. I wonder how much sheetmetal I can cut off before I pass out.

Dimitri

Mark- how much 1/2"x 4" stock are we going to need for each arm? Inquiring minds want to know.

Dunno, i used 12 inches a side but it would be really cool to plate the whole arm to add even more beef, and i have no idea how long the arm is

Here is a pic of the shock mount i did with the 2x2 and 1 inch round tube, the tube picks it up a little so the wristing of the arm does not touch it
umm imange the mud not on it

Mark- I thought you were running Coby's arms? Must be someone else's rig.

That pics not of an EB...loods like a TTB crossmember, solid axle swap on a late model bronco?

God i would never trade my Twister arm!IMO it works a lot nicer then the Wristed arm
Yeah its my friends SAS bronco, the other guys i made arms for did not come with a shock mount, his is one i have been working alot on and got it nicely dialed in it is a 91 bronco

Damn that one good looking Bronco!

:D :D

Did ya re-enforce the x-member anywhere after hacking it up?

Ok, someone give me an idea of how much plate we need. Rubicrawler you said your wife could handle the PIZZA so i take it my wife can come along as i need her to drive home if i drink beer. I will bring a grinder and a bunch of other metal that we can make the shock mounts out of too. What size and length bolts do i need and lastly where the HELL we doin this at.

I was gonna make a nut and bolt pick up for everyone, just want to know who want's to run what size, and type of nut, ie: castle nut or lock nut. Also, OSH has differant size hitch type pins if you wanna run those, or you can just run another bolt.


Soooooo what size.....??????

Brian--

Ugly, I would love for you to pick up some Grade 8 3/4" bolt and nut with lock washer and regular washer. AS for the pin idea, we are on the same page here. I was thinking the same thing with some MONSTER cotter pin as well. Maybe a 1/2" to a 3/4" one. Maybe we should all agree on the size that way we can build a one size fits all sort of thing. I have not been to Osh in a LONG time, so Ihave no clue whgat they have, but think big and burly, and you have me in mond. The bigger the better.

I can't wait until this weekend. I am getting the jitters already

Dimtir

Cool, i dont have to go bolt shopping. I am fine with one size for all. Someone tell ugly what size like 3/4 by 4 or whatever. I will bring some other assorted plate besides the 1/2 also. I will bring some BEER and some PIZZA $$$ also. Someone please email me the directions to where im going, i will be coming from Cameron Park. THANKS, Nick

Ok guy's- it looks like this is going to work out great. I live in Brentwood which is next to Antioch and about 30 miles west of Stockton on hwy 4. My address is 355 Wintergreen Drive, Brentwood, CA 94513 and my home phone is 925-634-7568 and my cell is 925-250-1830. Use MapQuest for directions. Call me if you have any questions.

Nick- I was checking out Mark H's write up on wristed arms at www.wt4wheeling.com and I'm guessing we'll need about 6 feet per arm. Please take a look and double check my number. We need to get a good head count asap.

Roll call! Who's in?

Smurfsdad- Check
Rubicrawler- Check
Flatty- Check
Welndnm- Check

We're gonna need all the grinders, chop saws, vises etc that we can get our hands on so bring whatch have. If you don't have these things, no worries!

I know I missed someone:confused: Please check in so we can get enough steel.

This is gonna be great!

Also state what you will bring on Sunday

-I will bring a 220 welder (miller lightning 172)
-Chop saw
-I can bring a vise as well, but we need a plce to mount it. It it HEAVY duty
-My arm of course


Dimitri

Shoot, i want in on this :D I have some spare time, about a weeks worth. I can bring a friend who just got all of his welding cert's. He is Awsome with the sticks.
Um, abunch of welding equipment. The little stuff like slag hammer, die. grinder, misc. tools. Pizza funding also.

Count me in also. I will bring a grinder and an extra arm if someone needs one, so 2 total. I dont see a need for sawzall, but have a "super" sawzall ( oh aw!). Also have a few cans of WD40 or triflow for drilling duties. Ill bring a cooler w ice and brews also.

Kevin, I can use the arm. I just don't feel like tearing mine of right now. If you can get me teh spare one, I will give you mine when I swap them.

Dimitri

Dimitri,

No problem on the extra arm. So youll be drivin your bronc over on Sunday right? LOL

I will bring the sawzall for cutting the arm in half and lotsa blades.

Mark, looks like I will be able to make it down after all :D Too cool. What time do we start without pissing the neighbors off too much? I can get metal here in Sac too if needed.....

Will bring; BEER, grinder, vise, BEER, sawzall, drills, dig cam, BEER, and whatever else I can grab fab wise.

I will bring all my big ass Drill bits, still working on trying to get my friends drill press away from him, grinder and what ever is around
I will bring an arm and do one as well, i am sure someone will want it

Osh has this nice like grade 8 hitch pins 3/4 , with a few different holes for cotter pins, i belive they were about 2-3 bucks a pop though, you you need a piviot bolt , like a 3/4 bolt with a nylon loc nut

Nope, the parts that were cut off only hold the TTB swing arm part, they do nothing to support the motor, so off they came

Rick- Start time is 10:00am.

Man this is gonna be too cool! I hope we can get them all done.

Damn- We're up to 8 arms for Sunday!

Mark- Is this gonna be do-able?

Smurfsdad- Can you get enough steel for 8-9 arms?

Damn, looks like I gotta buy a few blades for the chop saw for this weekend. Its all good, Home Depot is open 24 hours baby.

I got a new tank of gas, and a welder that is just itchin to weld up some cool shit.

See you guys as close to 10 as possible. I will be coming in with a monster hangover, so get the beers ready.


Dimitri

But it is the only crossmember for the whole front half of the frame...I wouldn't want to cut to much off

Mark, I will be making an arm on Sunday too, I have to replace the one I have that is an inch short:mad: .....

So if everyone can decide, I will pick up around 10 3/4" grade 8 bolts, with nylon locknuts, and some big ass pins????? Right?
Someone give me a call as people respond with their needs during the day...I won't see this post till after I get home from wotk.

Brian--

BTW, is anyone bringing beer?????:D :D :beer: :beer:

6 ft per arm ? =48 ft yes i can if thats what we need but it seems like alot as the arm is only about 3 ft long total. Let me know so i can bring enough.

Ok i just looked at his write up, it says 2ft of 2 in and 2 ft of 2.5 in which is 16 feet of each for 8 arms. where did the earlier 1/2 by 4 come from and do we need 1/2 by 4. i will bring plenty but still want an idea of what is fer sure neeeded. You RENO guys coming down, it would make me feel more at home having some NEVADA guys around.

I got the 1/2x4 idea from Welndmn. I think he must have cut it down the middle or something. You're right, if we go by Mark's write up, and I think we should, 1/2x2 and 1/2x2.5 should do it. Less cutting too:D

Looks like we're looking at 9 arms now. 1uglyranger is building a new one.

Do they need to be exactly 1 foot peices, if so i will shear em on the Pirhanha at work or bring it in 10 ft lengths if not

Originally posted by smurfsdad

I looked at Mark's write-up again. I don't see why you couldn't cut them to 12".

Mark H.- What to you think? Which would be best/fastest?

Here's who we have confirmed:)

Looks like we'll be building 8 arms on Sunday:bounce:

Now correct me if I am wrong here, but the stock is for plating right. We only need about 1 foot per side to plate them and drill. If you want to do the length of the arm, you have a whole other story . In that case we have to get 3 foot sections.

As for the bolts, I say we use 3/4" bolts, and like I said the biggest dam pins we can fit in there. I like the idea of 3/4" pins as well.

I will bring some beer for those that like a better vintage, like some Becks, which is on sale right now at Cala foods. Damn, now that I think about it, I am one thirsty bastard, I think I am gonna go shopping for beer.

Does this mean no welding for Dimi??? Just kidding. If we have a certified welder, I am game to let him go at it. I will see y'all at about 10 am I guess with some quality beer.

Dimitir

Yeah we don't need much metal, like 2-3 feet or 3 inch to 4 inch wide 1/2 plate per arm (rigth around the C it goes to 2.5 inches wide, so it needs to be cut down), but i was thinking of plateing the whole arm from C to to bolt jut to add some serious beef,
Its going to be a long day i think. most of the time will be spent cutting down the 1/2 plate to fit beween the U part of the arm and drilling holes, it wouild be sweet if every one got thier own metal and cut it down before, i already have mine cut and tacked so no worries

The bolts are not that big of deal IMO, we can all get bolts on our way home, but we need some for fitmit isusses

Dimriti- Albertsons had the Becks Mini Keg on sale for around 14 bucks a few days ago, its only about 8 beers or somethinf, but i bought it for this party so we can kill that first! (mini Keg stands)

So this is all going happening on Sunday huh?

I was going to drop off my crappy drill press sometime this week.
I'll drop it off at your place on Saturday Mark when I'm on my way out to mikes house I'm going to buy his chopsaw :D

Mind if I stop by on Sunday to stuporvize?

Need me to bring any tools or supplies.
I have grinder will have chopsaw will drop off drill press.

I have a plethora of unused die grinder bits but no die grinder.
Drill works nicely for me :D

Mark is right here. Thoses sawzalls are going to be smoking cutting 1/2" plate all day, especially if your planning on cutting full length filler plates. It would be nice if someone had a plasma cutter.
Mark are my steel leaf perch shims going to be ready Sunday?:flipoff2:

Cutting disks on grinders work well
for cutting thick plate steel.

Hehehe Mike i did go try and make some for a friend and was going to make a 2nd set for you, but could not get a hold of a chop saw and cutting the solid stock 2x2 with a sawzall and grinder is a joke
(the other Mike would not sell me his chop saw because Todd was going to buy it :p), i was going to call you tonight too todd and make sure you were going to still gonna get it
Todd my house or Marks house for the drop?

a plasma or even a really stong torch would be nice, i think it took me like 1-2 hours to cut the fillers, but i move really, really slow

I'm picking the chopper up on Saturday and I will probably drop it off at Mark's ( Rubicrawler ) on my way home for him to use.

Hehe, is this a hint? :rolleyes: Ill go and cut my metal ahead of time to make things flow smoother.

So- are we all getting our own steel? If so, we need to let Smurfsdad know. He's planning on bringing it all. :confused:

I understood smurfsdad was getting all the steel for us. I don't have time to got to a steel yard and get any.

I am bringing my Milwaukee chop saw. I will get new blades today, and be ready for it on Sunday. I will still bring the welder, gas, and mask to the party, along with some beer.

Dimitri

I will have a saw and two extra blades to let you guys use for the day.

Originally posted by Flatty

I'm is the same boat.

I picked up a box of 4.5" grinding wheels today and I'll get some Sawsall blades tomorrow.

Ok, i was thinking it would be faster, but i live right around the corner from a steel shop so i am awlays there, i will post pics later of how i cut it all it up

So if it works out from what I am reading every one is going to have their shiat done before they get to Marks house.
SO every one will just sit in the garage and drink beer all day be to runk to drive home and realize they should have all got together to drink beer on saturday.

I don't know if I'm gonna have my shiat pulled together enough to have my steel and have it cut out by then.

Mark H- Sounds like we each need the following:

(2) 1/2"x 2"x 12" long
(2) 1/2"x 4"x 18" long

Does that sound right to you?

Hmm, good point. One less thing for me to tote over the summit. Thanks for the reminder. Btw, do we pay smurfsdad for the steel?

OK OK OK........I made a phone call, and I will have a plasma cutter on Sunday....... :D :D :D .......Now we can cut anything....

Hey Mark, those fenders look a little small, we can fix that:D .....

Anyway, I picked up 9 3/4" bolts today, washers, and nylon locknuts.... But they only had 4 pins, so I was gonna stop by another store tommorrow, and check them out.....

Sound good???

That is sooo coool!

Called Ryan, he said I could borrow it, but that if anything happened to it he would cut off my nuts, and feed them to me!!!!!!!! OUCH!!!!!!! Be careful with the plasma cutter!!!!

Brian--

OK, lets get this straight. I understood that we need 1/2 by 2 and 1/2 by2.5 but why 4. Also i will bring a couple of 9in grinders and trust me i can wittle the peices down pretty quick with one. Do you want the 2.5 to be 18 inches as i was going to shear all the stuff we need. i will bring some other assorted plate also. I could bring a plasma but it runs on 460 volts. Do you want me to bring a set of torches ? with a BIG tip. How about a work table ? I think we have one that a few guys could lift out of and into my truck, if so i will bring it.

I may be able to bring a couple of grniders, a chop saw, sawzall and some other misc tools to help. I already have a wristed arm, so I would just come by to play :))

Hey Beater, talk to Mark.... BTW, have you been welcomed to the Board??

Thank you
Im Brandon. Been here in Clayton for about 9 yrs. Had my EB for about 14. Its butt brown. Had I know about this thrread longer, I might have tried to have the party here. I have all the stuff needed (tools: plasma cutter fer 1/2", welders, grinders, and literally tons of scrap steel. ) I also would have been able to get 2'x6'x1/2" steel plates by the sheets. They just scrapped it all at work. Mark Harris knows me (kinda). I helped him w/ his rockers several months ago.

Beater- I hope you can make it on Sunday. It would be nice to meet more EB guys.

damn I wish y'all were doing this the following weekend, I'll be out for spring breal from the 8th to the 17th and it would have been great to meet more of the pirates guys in person...

Mark I have the Chopsaw, drill press and drill Dr. in the back of my jeep today I will drop it off after work tonight. See ya later.

Thanks again!

You still commin' by to stupervise on Sunday?

I should be around a little after 6:00 and before 7:30 I hope unless traffic is horrible.

Brandon is a good guy, when i had no access to a welder he put my rock skis on for me, late one night

Yeah i started fabbing the brackets last night
Just get a crap load of 3 inch wide 1/2 plate, i got about 10 feet the other day i figure about 4 feet an arm
I think my write up was wrong so trust me 3 inch wide is the ticket
the filler plate (the one welded to the arm) is about 15-16 inchs long (i just eye ball it, it don't matter) and the top plate that welds to that plate (outter plate) is a few inchs shorter of that filler plate
Makeing any sense? (stop by my house i will show you)
This way that top plate can be welded to the bottom filler plate.

Todd do you have the big drill doctor? no one around here will sharpen my 3/4 inch bit and it is getting pretty dull

Sorry Mark I have the little drill Dr. but the great video that came with it is the same one that comes with the big Drill Dr.

Well, my local steel source is out of 1/2 x 2 so I'm screwed.

I hope Smurfsdad is able to hook me up.

Mark H.- I'm a little confused by your last post. Do we need 1/2 x 3? as well as 1/2 x 2?

What was your steel source Mark?
Where do you go for your material in the area.
I usually use Pleasanton steel

Yeah Mark just get a lot 1/2 plate 3 inchs wide, get like 5-6 feet it will work great! a lot easier then the 2 inch and 2.5 inch wide stuff
I use P-town steel, right on my way home from work and not far from my house, i live off of El Caminito, and thats like the next street up.
Yeah whn i was waching the video i am like CRAP i had no idea they made a bigger one :(, ohh well my has worked great, i will bring mine as well

Cool- I just ordered (2) 1/2" x 3" x 6 foot long sticks!

I already have 20ft each of 1/2 by 2 and 1/2 by 2.5 I am not sure if we have any 3 inch at the shop and im not there today. By chance what did you have to pay for the peice you got that is 6 ft long.

I'll pick the steel up in an hour or so. Should be between $35 & $40. I'll let you know when it get it.

Smurfsdad- be sure to keep track of your cost so we can all kick in:)

I bought the 2 5foot 3inch wides for 16 bucks out the door

OK, I am really confused now. Do we each need to bring our own steel? If so, I am out, because I can't get to a steel yard until next week. if someone can hook me up, I will pake it worth your while, just let me know how much $ and beer i owe you when I get there. I am sooooooooo excited. I just got a new pair of welding gloves from a buddy (SF Fireman official issue gloves they use in the fires :) ) I am dying to try them out and see if they work after all.

Dimitri

Flatty- no you don't have to get some steel. Smurfsdad has it covered. I just picked up some 1/2 x 3 x 6' just in case.

Originally posted by welndmn

Mark- I'm going to have to check out your source for future projects.

WOWOWOWOW!
Yeah, they are dieefntily way over priced
I will go buy some extra in case people run out as well

The two sticks i have cost about $40 total for both. Now how do you feel about what you paid. :D

Originally posted by smurfsdad

Dang, I bought steel today and paid $22 for 6' of 1/2 x 2" and 4' of 1/2 x 6 " I thought that was a bit much.

I'm havin my own wristed arm party, so screw y'all ...I'm half way done already :flipoff2:

I found a killer brass bushing, but it's only 3/4 ID and 1 OD. I almost bought it, but I'm having second thoughts about using a 3/4 bolt. My biggest drill bit is 7/8, so i think I'm just going to use a 7/8 bolt.

Damn grade 8 bolt is almost $10 :eek:

Well fellas, im headin over the summit sat. afternoon. And i should be in town by about 5:30 er so. Funny thing, i found that i have a half brother there. :eek: Who knew? Anywho, see everybody sunday around 10ish. For anybody who needs to know, my cel# is 775-691-2746

Mark, what plug do you have at your house for a 220 hook-up?
Give me a call today so I know that I have the right one, if not I can find the right adapter today.....it would suck to show up with a plasma cutter, and not be able to use it!!!!!!:flipoff2:

Bahhh....Who needs a plasma cutter when you're a Master Grinder....


Lucky bastard :flipoff2:

Just an after thought, it would've been kinda kewl to have had a wristed arm cam to watch all the mayem &kaos going on during the building of the arms.:p

I am sure i have enuf steel in the back of my peekup to build everyones arm even if the Wa guys wanted to be there. I also grabbed a torch set, a 9 in grinder, 4.5 in grinder and extra wheels. See ya all in the AM

Tell her that's nothing...some guy last year left his wife on their wedding day to compete in the TTC.

That would be Scott Ellinger, who owns Rockstomper.....:D

He was telling me about that a couple weeks ago. Seems his new wife was pretty understanding about it.

Mark- Thanks for the pics! I can't believe there isn't a single beer can or bottle in any of the pics.

I'd like to thank you all for locking up my 30 dollar drill press to get all the perfomance out of it that could be had :D

HMMM I wonder if I own the only drill press with a welded chuck in contra costa county.

Oh and thanks for the beer..

Did I mention that if you guys had a Jeep cherokee you wouldn't have to go through all that trouble to get flex:flipoff2:

LOL your right! only a bottled water! we were all very sober that weekend :D

I think your daughter got most of the beer pics!

That drunk Guy sure could weld.

He was stumbling and slurring but when he struck that arc or pulled that mig trigger I was amazed That guy could probably weld in a coma:D

Ya that would be a weld if I have ever sean one.
Looks good guys.
Now only if I had a front axle I could be doing the same thing:)
