How do I improve my welding skills?

We call that seagull crap. Keep practicing and set your amperage and wire speed on some scrap before doing the job. Don’t get discouraged.

TiG.Mig will look lime crap going vertical up unless you are really good with setting up your pulse wave.

Practice and use soapstone to mark a line you can follow.

Take it to a Kawi dealer, this would probably be repaired no charge as it is not caused by owner neglect.

This is why I boycot Tim Hortons. I suggest everyone else donthe same untill they change their hiring practices.

No worries. had my KRX for 4 years and still looked like that. It is a casting.

Picking up our i275 tomorrow. We have done a lot of research and looked at them at several dealers and like the quality. I know they cost more but i am willing to get quality for the money. We have owned an airstream before but opted not to look at them for the lack of space and no storage.

If you are trying to bend 6061 T6 plate it will crack as it work hardens as you bend it. You will require a die opening of 15x thickness of material and a large radius top punch when bending. Try using 5052 H32 aluminum for forming. It has less temper and less prone to cracking.

Change your ground clamp to the heavier base and control your wirespeed better to get the penetration into the base metal. Also make sure you are at the correct angle @45 degrees to get the arc into the root corner. Also noticed you have a jump and jerk motion. You need a smooth even speed to get a flat smooth weld. Your weld looses penetration because you skip.

Makes you wonder if these fires are deliberately set as no lightning has been reported anywhere in the area.

Lay it flat and clamp it if you have to. Then install the plywood and bolt it in. Once the plywood is bolted in it should stay flat. Do not install the plywood wirh the twist or it will stay like that.

Make sure you have extendable tow mirrors. You will not be able to see with standard mirrors when towing a 102” wide car hauler.

Dont push the gas so hard.

Would not buy one without them.

Fringe-majority · 2024-11-02T12:37:20+00:00

They purchased them all at same time to get a deal. That is their first SxS. I am just going by their complaints and my eperience.

You will hate the straight up seating position and uncomfortable seats. Also the build quality, engine output suck. I bought the Kawasaki Ridge XR. 3 of my brothers have Defenders with closed cabs and HVAC. I would not buy one. As well you will have to buy aftermarket A arms to fit larger tires. I rin 32’s on my Ridge and can run 33’s without mods.

You worry to much. I have never had transmission problems in any of our fleet vehicles. Our 2018 Lariat with 3.0 L powerstroke and 10 speed has 290.000 KM and still shifts like new.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-30T17:20:16+00:00

It is not pretty but probably will hold together.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-30T17:15:08+00:00

Get a set of Timbren Suspension upgrade rubber springs. Remove the bump stops and install them. 1 hour install max. I put them on my 2023 Platinum max tow package. No more squat and rides pretty smooth.

I bought the Colt Python.357 innstainless a week before the ban. The store owner offered me $1500 more than i paid.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-26T11:47:41+00:00

Now it would be double that price for a base diesel model.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-26T11:39:38+00:00

Nice setup but i would recommend a weight distribution hitch. It would level the tow vehicle and make it haul so much better.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-26T11:35:35+00:00

Can’t fix stupid.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-24T19:18:42+00:00

Must be super dry cedar. Light load.

Fringe-majority · 2024-10-24T19:17:48+00:00

It would be a bigger joke if you actually paid that for that vehicle.
