Truth. I finally finished mine and never want to touch another wire.

I don't even try when it comes to wiring, I'll end up with a pile of ash the day I try to mess with it.

You know, theres always a way to tuck better though.

Im planning on redoing the fusebox harness with a milspec plug through the inner fender space for disconnect, in my head it works out. But we will see how it goes

with straight cut gears, you have much thicker tines but less of them are engaged. This is better for dogbox style transmissions. And that sound :drool:

Thanks for dropping the knowledge on the gears too guys. I honestly never knew all that. Just knew the fast guys use straights.

yeah, the reason race teams use straight cut is because of the load that helical puts on the tranny case. They would have to beef up the case and that adds weight.

Trying to decide on a daily. I'm thinking smaller SUV, possibly a BMW X3 or VW Tiguan

Idk sometimes they are the same thing, but more of the person. If I had the tools I would prob be good at it by now. Im not that bad with the crappy harbor freight welder I have, but it just splashes a lot.

Good welding, yes. Welding to save a bay, no. It takes a lot of practice and trial and error.

oh ok, well like i meant fabbing up brackets and misc. stuff that you really cant buy? maybe some tubing? like would the average mig do that fine and look ok? or is tig just the way to go for everything?

Brackets are fairly easy to weld especially if you have some spare metal you can practice on to figure out the heat/wire speed before starting. Same for tubing. My welder is nothing special and it can handle that. Welded up the exhaust on my truck a few weeks ago.

Yea it's easy to mess up what you're working on with too much heat. I always start low on a practice piece and work my way up until I can get a nice consistent weld going.
