Yeah I actually zoomed in and looked at the grille and lights after I said that. I used to have a '97 but it was long bed and had the 7.3. Never should have sold that truck. Gotta love those old 460s though. Unkillable 7mpg goodness. You have plans on a build or just a restoration job?

2020-04-28 01:16:14 UTC  

Gonna swap in a Dana 60 front, shackle reversal kits front and rear for ~5-6” of lift, and replace the cancerous sheet metal

2020-04-28 01:16:56 UTC  

Hell yeah. Let'r eat bud.

2020-04-28 05:27:10 UTC  

Whats up new to the discord. Any welders ?

2020-04-28 05:28:50 UTC  

Boilermaker myself industrial mechanic soon to be welder no certs hey

2020-04-28 05:29:19 UTC  

Yet**

2020-04-28 05:39:48 UTC  

Got some welding certs while I was in highschool. Stick welding, oxy, and some Tig experience. I have a mig, but a monkey can weld with mig.

2020-04-28 05:42:12 UTC  

No certs but I can do some damage

2020-04-28 05:44:50 UTC  

Nice, sadly I own no boog sticks (19 in commiefornia), so my main thing has been thinking up ideas for armored vehicles

2020-04-28 05:44:59 UTC  

Gravitation designs

2020-04-28 05:45:05 UTC  

Fabrication**

2020-04-28 05:56:57 UTC  

Armored vehicle ideas are good, but buy some junker car and some basic tools and fix it up.

2020-04-28 05:57:19 UTC  

If you can learn to fix your own car your in better shape than 80% of society.

2020-04-28 05:57:25 UTC  

Even basic shit.

2020-04-28 05:59:06 UTC  

Yeah that’s very true, I want to get a truck soon thinking about an OBS Chevy and weldin some steel plates into the doors and and inside the fenders surrounding the engine block

2020-04-28 06:03:46 UTC  

Dont do that to your everyday vehicle.

2020-04-28 06:04:17 UTC  

If it's your boog out vehicle yeah that's a good idea. But use a lightweight but strong metal. Because you still want to have semi reasonable gas mileage.

2020-04-28 06:04:44 UTC  

Having a tank vehicle is awesome. Only being able to go 100 miles before needing to fill up makes it pointless though.

2020-04-28 06:05:20 UTC  

Because chances are when were boogin they arent going to give us many opportunities to refuel.

2020-04-28 06:06:38 UTC  

True I was thinking these could be used for strategic moments. we could have light weights and the heavy hittakers.

2020-04-28 06:07:09 UTC

@Anonymoose.

Sadly this is so true. Most people cant even check the fucking oil much less change it

2020-04-28 06:07:54 UTC  

If you can change suspension components like control arms and tie rods, and diagnose basic shit with an engine you'll be alright.

2020-04-28 06:07:59 UTC  

The rest comes with time.

2020-04-28 06:08:46 UTC  

I can tell you straight up most of my lightweight shit will either be motorcycles or dirt bikes. Easiest vehicles to lose people on.

2020-04-28 06:10:12 UTC  

My heavy hitters will be something like a Dodge Megacab with AR500 plates welded in the vital areas, 50 BMG turret mounted in the back. (Because the national guard kindly let me use it)

2020-04-28 06:11:10 UTC  

I cant do all that. I can do a good but tho.. if I had to I could learn. I have dropping a couple transmissions and put them back on. chaged parts. Alternator water pump radiator shit like that. But I haven't rebuilt and engine.. I am planning on doing axel swaps on my jeep. But dont have the cash atm. I want to put a small lift kit on...

2020-04-28 06:14:10 UTC  

My heavy weight would be some type of pickup with some horsepower upgrades and superb cooling modifications. With some type of armored enclosure in the bed

2020-04-28 06:14:30 UTC  

Engine cooling that is

2020-04-28 06:15:36 UTC  

I learn what I can. My father was a mechanic, so I should be able to figure it out.

2020-04-28 06:37:42 UTC  

I have done all types of suspension work, alternators, pumps, axles, wheel bearings, shit like that.

2020-04-28 06:37:57 UTC  

Engine shouldn't be shit. Essentially a big pump with tight tolerances.

2020-04-28 08:32:23 UTC  

I'm a big fan of natural work arounds for bugging out and extreme survival. While not auto mechanics it falls under mechanical engineering. Just something cool to do if you guys are into off grid type of living. These do have to be rebuilt every three or so months to keep them real hot. If you do one and have issues getting it started, piss on it or use coffee grounds. The nitrates spark up the breakdown really quickly.

Been working on vehicles for over a decade. From tearing the entire car down to bare metal for Paint, engine tear downs, to simple brake jobs.

Would love to learn welding. Just bought a 3D printer to mess around with though.

2020-04-28 16:31:37 UTC  

How long do you think a car/truck would run with a bullet hole in the radiator?

2020-04-28 16:34:10 UTC  

Til the block got too hot

2020-04-28 16:36:36 UTC  

If there's enough air flow taking heat away from the block you could roll away for a good while, but pushing the engine will cut short the time you have

2020-04-28 16:37:08 UTC  

In reality, it depends on the engine and the climate and what you can do to repair that, if anything. If you're driving something like an old VW, they're air cooled so they don't even have a radiator. If you're driving a modern car, they'll throw some weird code and scream at you til it started siezing up and messing up the actual cylinder

2020-04-28 16:38:07 UTC  

A few months ago I had a pushrod that pole vaulted to the moon by way of the valve cover. I managed to drive it for 10ish miles spraying oil everywhere and losing power but it cost me that engine

2020-04-28 16:38:55 UTC  

If you have a bullet hole in the radiator roll the window down and turn up the heater to max blast.

2020-04-28 16:39:04 UTC  

And if you have the ability to pull over, you can crack an egg in the radiator to let that gum it up til you can get a proper patch
