How do you like the millermatic 212? Did you get it at national welders over on dorchester?

I have a millermatic 130 and have been thinking of upgrading lately.

So will you actually take it off the street after it has a solid axle? or is this so you can fit bigger rims?

stack of dimes man!! hah

gotta order all my stuff to hook up the cell so i can get that in so i can crank up the truck while im gone



*****also might as well say what im going to run so i can make this thread controversial

might as well list what im planning to run so i can get some "help"


I am going to be running an 2002 Ford Superduty HP dana 60 running 5.38 gears with a rear Sterling 10.50 from the same 2002 Superduty running a 4 link with coilovers on 46s on 20s -- divorce transfer case -- im not going to run the normal highsteer drag link steering im going to attempt to do a custom set up to get rid of the draglink running hydro assist -- thats all i can think of from here i dunno what kind of 20s yet but they will be a 20x14 or so on 46" michelin XMLs

so people can say what they want to say yes im going big but thats what i want --

Hell yea, finally someone building a BIG truck! I like your ideas, can't wait to see it. I've only seen one other ranger on 40's and up, and it was a mud truck...had 40 something tall baja claws. Yellow truck...
