Sounds like an interesting job; hope it pays well for dealing with former/current criminals. DOC is a nice place from what I've heard, ha ha.
Did that welder come with the cart? I just noticed that; looks like a pacakge deal.

>>Dan

It came as a package deal through my friends dealer. I think the cost for the welder with their discount was a little over $1500

But then I'll be stuck with baby axles

On 37's you'll have little issues.  Seems like once you go above 37's, the Toyota axles don't seem to hold up as well as a 1 ton.  Wonder why   ?

I just graduated from college this year in 3.5 years and just finished moving to Denver. For xmas and graduation my parents bought me the sweetest gift ever... Millermatic 212 autoset



and i bought myself this....



and these...

Nice welder! You're going to love welding with it.  I always smile when I first start welding with my dad's Miller 212 (non autoset).    Congrats about graduating!  You'll like that Ballistic traction bar.  I'm building one that basically the same thing.  I've got all the parts, just need to cut, weld, and slap it on.

And I got hired on the spot at my interview today! Heck Yes!

Wow!  Nice work!  Always nice to see things work out the way you want them to.  I actually just changed jobs at the hospital I work at as well.  No more I.T. for me.  I've been working almost 7 years in the IT field.  Just took our brand new Residency Program Coordinator position.  Big time change for me.  More responsibility, moving up the administration ladder, and more pay.  I start on Monday

That is great to hear! Good luck in your new field and career. My mom has been a nurse for her entire professional career so I have been around hospitals a lot.

Hell yeah, I remember that day with my 92 runner in the summer. Love that power too (but now I want a supercharger lol)

The time has come to finally get this thing painted all one color      My buddy Brandon helped me out big time last Friday night.  He let me use his shop and he helped me DA sand for 5+ hours.  Thanks for all the help Brandon   

What color do you get when you sand a faded out maroon/brown 27 year paintjob?










Knocked out the big dents with an 8lb sledge hammer and a 4x4 

















Nasty purple   
Color will come in a couple weeks.  It will be bright

[Volcom]

Tear down - Friday night






Time for tape




New $2.89 soft topper




Badass paint booth






It's bright 


























My boy approves 




Shiny paint makes the dents POP!!













I love it and it came out great!  Not bad for a total of $150 of paint and supplies.  Big thanks to my buddy Brandon for the help.  There's no way I could have done this in my garage and without his help.

[4x4yota]

[Zs Confederate Toy]

I doubt it.  I would have never painted it if I was going to get all upset over scratching it.  Jeremiah wanted me to paint it like my daughter's Barbie Jeep - pink & purple
