There seems to be lately a lot of new members with new to them trucks with problems they are having trouble finding solutions for. I read their posts and think, "If only they were closer I'd be happy to lend them a hand." But every single one seems to be in distant part of the country far away from me. I've been wrenching on my trucks for many years, I don't have all the answers but I still have a lot of experience. I have a fairly good selection of tools including a MIG welder and other fairly expensive tools that I have amassed over 30+ years that most new younger members haven't been able to afford. If only some of you guys were closer I'd be more than happy to help out. I even have a very nice tilt bed trailer that I could move your projects around with.

 

I'm moving to Wisconsin. (Just teasing!)

 

I've thought about moving to Arizona (say hi Ross :P )

 

Come on over. The weather is about the same, I think.

Don't forget Bobby, I'm sure he's has a few cold frostie adult beverages chilling in the frig.

The basic topic of this post is closely related to the reason I try to hammer into everyone's head to post their location in the upper right hand corner. If you're having a problem with your truck, be it looking for a part or needing help to accomplish some kind of repair, if some is close by they are more willing to offer assistance. I have a few members near me but they all seem to be older guys who work pretty well on their own, they don't really need my help although if they'd ask I'd be more than willing to help if I can.

 

You know where I'm at - Just back the trailer loaded with goodies in the driveway

 

Hey, the time I met you in person at your house I thought I had some pretty good goodies on that trailer. It's been quite some time, it's your turn to stop by for a visit.

 

Yeah, here in Albuquerque, Arizona, we have plenty of room. Just wish we were part of the USA.

Gee, Bob, I thought this was going to be the annual reminder to put your location in your Profile, so those who want to answer questions don't have to look it up....

 

Bob

So you are offering free labor and providing towing service? Be careful man, Iowa borders Wisconsin

 

Well, I did connect it to that subject. Still is a good reminder.

I do have my limits

 

Did someone mention frosty beverages?

I'm your man. I might not be the best wrench or fabricator but I can sure put a dent in you supply of frostys.....lol

Along these lines of helping out. I travel all over New Mexico, a bit of SW Colorado, and El Paso, TX and could help shuffle parts around if need be.

Bobby

 

I see the words fabricator and dent and it got me thinking.............

do you lap weld or butt weld?

Bring out the sticks, I'm ready for my beating!

 

LOL
My weldings been referred to as "pigeon welding".
I had an old buddy look at some of my welds, then he looked up into the sky. He had me, I took the bait. When I asked him what he was looking for he replied that he was looking for the flock of pigeons that must have been flying over........

Bobby

 

Very funny

 

Bob , South east Wisconsin is kinda vague! Are we talking Milwaukee or fond du lac,Janesville ? Can you help me narrow your location down ?

 

Guess I'm the only one out here in the western side of Nebraska
