Lol, would of been nice to have two engine stands when I had rear axle torn down to housing for cleanup and paint. You have 90 days to take it back, hurry up!

That's wild. Same thing happened to me when I put passenger seat cushions on my driver side rails. I ended up drilling through the floor and using an 1-1/2" long bolt.

the rear of the frame hits the stand support. I picked up some 2"x 2" tube 11 gauge today from garlic steel and will extend the back connection so it will spin around. great horny toads I have not laid down $$ for bulk steel for 10+ years and that stuff is spendy.

after it spins freely I need to add disco lights and it's a party!

no it rotates

you can see where the welds were broken. there would be no way to get the nut into that spot post weld. you would not be able to replace that big stud bolt otherwise.

it's a pain because that is not a spot any normal human could weld. needs to be cut open and then re-tacked into place and then welded back shut. or I could turn the dial way up and burn it out.

spinny thing works better now

I used the hitch mounts to extend some tubes so the frame clears the engine stand now I can flip her all the way over.

I can't say enough good things so far about the cheap-o welder. for not having welded for years and years to pick this thing up and run welds like this is really pretty amazing. welding has come a long ways in the last 15 years.

Do you need the spare tire hoist gear cable thing for that frame? I'm about to cut that section out of mine, you can have it. Nice shape.

what you're doing with this build is a dying art.
Especially among my generation, but I'm pretty confident there will be a strong push back to the trades in a few years to reverse that a bit.

I'm shopping for a 3rd gen at the moment and hoping it can be smooth introduction to working on vehicles.

it's takes a while to get the hang of it. I just did brakes and fluids for many many years but not really until 3-4 years ago was ready to jump this far into it.

as long as you have the place, time and $ it's very satisfying.

steering rack mount fix-a-rooooo

there are 2 captive nuts inside this little tower thingy, sure it has a name. but one of the nuts came lose so I had to cut it open and re-tack the nuts down.

1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

was able to re-locate the nuts based on the tac welds that held them in place. it's a bit scare how skimpy the toyota welds are on these nuts. time to bring some big old american welds to those babies!

1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

tac it back into it's spot
1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

kind of goopy but... got good penetration and no clearance issues for now.

frame repair done I think

this was the last piece of the frame that needed attention before blasting

1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

cut it out

1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

used some M12 1.25 bolts as transfer punches so I could get the layout exactly the same as factory.

turned out pretty decent for a hack like me

I also added some backing and plug welded that backing so it has some reinforcement.

eastwood dreams

shot up 6 cans into the frame and x-members. I think really you would need 8 cans 4 per side to really get a solid good internal coat. also being able to roll the frame around helps get it all covered.

1997 Sketchy SleepyDad build

stuff runs like crazy town. also wears gloves and pants and maybe even shoes because it gets all over the dam place.
