    Welding advice

    I started with a cheap HF mig welder. Changed wire to good wire and lots of YouTube videos later I could get metal to stick to metal without fear of it falling apart. After a few years i decided to upgrade to a better machine. I got a Hobart MVP 120/240. Before I tried to make my first weld I...

    What else in your garage?

    thats awesome! I’m with you about modifying things. Luckily I have the 86 which allows me to get all that out of my system so I can keep the 85 as stock and original as possible. They are fun little cars for sure!

    Small convex mirror adjustable?

    I have standard mirrors on my 2024 1500 limited. In the upper left corner, of the drivers mirror, there is a small convex mirror. Is this mirror manually adjustable by hand? Before I go and start pushing and shoving on things I thought I’d ask. Wife would kill me if I broke stuff on our week...

    Mine says 1297. I’m adding a MX4 trifold and based on info it’s about 65lbs, so that puts me at 1232. Minus me 185, leaves me 1047. so trailer will be about 4200lbs loaded, meaning about 420lbs of tongue weight leaving 627lbs. unless I’m missing something looks like I should be okay and far...

    Willworkfortruck, I have the air ride suspension so I thought that would level the truck so I wouldn’t need airlift or sumos. You Are right lots of great info in the towing forum. i have seen a lot of videos and posts that 9-10 seems to be common on the lighter camper trailers. Can’t overcome...
