I'm actually running low on Midol and Vagisil so I apologize in advance.
You better get it together before I load up MY awesomer welder and come down and weld it for you.

Well then if the above is true I would advise Frank NOT to get it together and have Ridge come down and weld it.......that way you can have a few drinks.....watch him weld your shit.....and get verbally harassed all at the same time :thumb:.....Maybe invite Adam over to supervise
Now what can possibly be better than that? :cheesy:

Trust me, I'm the last person he wants welding for him. The welder might be better but the operator not so much, lol.
And what makes you think I'm verbally abusive anyway?

Frank, your equipment just isnt big enough for the job lol....
Insert thats what she said joke...
If I was going to weld that I would want a Miller 212 or lincoln equivalent, and a torch to heat the pumpkin and tube up before welding. That much steel is going to suck so much heat out of the weld that I think little welders are going to run into duty cycle issues.

I'll picture mine tomorrow. The trouble here is that even though there is a weld present they are poor quality with perhaps poor penetration or material properties.

That's for welding cast iron. Correct. But I don't know what kind of penetration you would get on the tubes.
That being said, It's not really an issue with materials so much as it is a cooling at different rates issue.
I wouldn't stick weld on this small of materials either. It could be done, but I wouldn't do it.

OR you could ask around for people near you to let you barrow a set of stock wheels and tires. Otherwise the dealership could flag you for removing the axle yourself. I dont know, but they will do ANYTHING they can to not perform warranty work.

Well there is no way I can do that because it's got a new prorock 60 under it now
