Wanted: Someone with spare time and a welder

Cody1771 · 02-12-2010, 12:31 AM

Hey Guys, im tired of that ugly canopy on my truck and wanan get my RTT back on my bed rails. i found out that a wood frame doesnt cut it for off roading so i need a metal one. so my plan is to get 2 8 foot long sections of
2"x2" angle, bolt it to the bed rails and eather run 2" pipe, or 2"x2" square pipeing to support the RTT. pretty simple but i dont have acess to a welder. was wondering if anyone here would be willing to lend a hand for some cash and/or beer. or whatever your poison is.

If you watch Kijiijs, Crags' list and actions you can pick up 110 welders cheap. I bout 3 at a auction for $100. sold 2 of them for $100 everyone was happy. The only issue with 110s is they are usually 20A but if you turn them down real low you can weld on normal house plug for a short time.

Hey Cody, I just picked up another 11lb roll of wire and new consumables for the welder and plasma cutter, so you're more than welcome to wander out to use them. I know it ain't too close to Kits but once you get here you probably won't want to go back to the city rush either! Budweiser's always welcome too!! LR
