    Chevy 63" spring options

    I'm a little out of my normal territory. Back story is I've done a shackle flip and 63" spring swap on an old first generation dodge cummins. Long story short, the normal 3/4 ton chevy springs arnt up to the task and are nearly flat without any load. Has any one ran any of the 4" lift springs...

    I personally would avoid tube construction here in utah. All of our work trailers are rusting from the inside out... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Phx to slc

    Pulling my 14k, 20ft, dovetail trailer up from phx to tooele empty. Thought I would throw it out there if anyone has anything they need hauled. If nothing pops up, I'll load up a bunch of drill steel for my fencing build. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Where to buy pork belly?

    most Costco's have pork belly. If you have a business, set up an account at Restaurant Depot, they have it aswell.

    Tooele may be a good option for you then. I dont know how the rental market is out there, but I've been trying to buy a house out there for months and cant make it happen.

    No more state safety inspection in utah

    Its all about personal responsibility. I guess in many peoples opinion, It is the governments job to hold such responsibility instead of the individual. Being from AZ, we didnt have any safety inspections, and I can tell you, I dont feel any safer on the road because the 16 yr old chump down...

    Advice on welder

    I have a miller 251 and 252. They are my favorites of anything I have ever run. They are a little bigger machine, and more money, but I would recommend going as big as you can afford. Cold Mig welds are bad news.

    Lets talk: aluminum welding

    I don't know if the brass brush will mess with you or not. Stainless is always reccommended with a thorough cleaning with acetone pre and post brushing. I've only ever used push pull guns and tig'd aluminum, so take everything I say with a grain of salt Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Food Smokers

    You may have a harder time getting to temp in an electric smoker. If you can get it hot enough easily, I would use a water pan. If it struggles to maintain temp, the evaporation of the water may make it even harder to keep temp up. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Food Smokers

    I second the no paint. If you feel like you have to do something, I would just smear a very very thin coat of veggie oil or something Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Food Smokers

    They best advice I can give for brisket, is start with a quality piece of meat. It is hard to beat costco's prime grade full packers. I hate to let out my secret, But last time I bought a few from there, they were only $2.70/lb.

    Lets talk: aluminum welding

    I've attempted aluminum brazing, but failed miserably.We ended up hauling it back to the shop to finish the job. At the same time, we had never seen it done, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I will also add that brazing is not usually used for structural work, I would definitely take...

    Food Smokers

    I am one of those weird guys who likes kamado's. I have a couple of Kamado Joe Big Joes, and I keep an electric smoker around to help out with cold smoking and charcuterie. I enjoy tending to my cookers, its therapeutic to me but I will add that I am hoping for a pit controller when funds...

    Air shocks will heat up much much faster then a reservoir coil over. If your crawling, you wont have any issues wit heat. If your bombing down roads for miles, IMO, coil over with a res. beast air every time.
