Fair enough. It's been a long time since I was looking.

This thread is about mpg. If you're not worried about mpg, you might be reading the wrong post? Because aside from whether or not you carry a Jerry can, what's the point of discussing mpg aside fom cost? Diesel versus gas torque is a whole different matter, but again, that wasn't the topic.

Yeah, but diesel costs more per gallon, so...?

My last cravked windshield was from a lifted pickup with like 37s protruding like 8" out past the fenders. I wish Is had a cam for that guy.

Nice! My wife has a ‘16 Mini copper S countryman, 6 speed. Big enough, but still tons of fun. I envy her manual, but alas, needed max tow.

Sounds like a mini or a Miata to me!

I fully intend to make some gap-fillers, with an eye toward not being ugly as sin... after I take delivery in a month or so. ?

Yeah, I was told that I couldn’t get the black wheels with the Max Tow package. It’s like they don’t want (any more of) my money! ?

Nice! Sounds like I'm about a week behind you. I ordered 1/15, went to E status today. (Framing)

Just talked to Jeep Chat. Apparently, I've moved to "E," status, as they say I'm in frame-up! I was all set for some time in March! Fingers Crossed!

Oh, you're talking TIG. While I'd LOVE to learn, I'm not there yet. I've got a Mig I can set up for Al if I get a spool gun. Would you need this set-up for MIG? I appreciate the links, though!

How do you run different pressures on the gasses? Separate bottles? I've only run Argon/co2 mix for steel. Looking for knowledge!

I am ignorant about welding aluminum. You say it's a multi-process welder, but what process? Mig with a spool gun? Tig? Also, if you could even give me dimensions of material- for instance what you used for that top rack, that would be helpful. Like, 2x2 square? What's the wall thickness...

Right? My build ended up costing as much as our previous two most expensive vehicles combined.

This is really cool stuff. I have a buddy who wants to do a small trailer with my help, but my experience is with steel. Could you give a few examples of the dimension and alloy of Aluminum that are using? Also, what's your welding method? Thanks!

Those winglets don't look super complicated. I'm sure I could fab something up out of aluminum to fill that gap. Might even look better. Or heavy plastic sheet. I was assuming there would be piles of the damned things lying around like so many stock bumpers..

Nice! I'll be pulling a similar length Rockwood Roo (Hybrid). I've ordered a MT. Do you have air bags, or just the WDH?

That's interesting. I'm not opposed to this, but is there a training, besides parts shortage?

I'm thinking the same thing. I've got a JTMT on order, and even if I bolted the ugly things on just for long trips, it might be worth it.

Interestingly, you hit on why I don’t want a full size truck, we’re just in different sides of the line. I need to tow a travel trailer and haul motorcycles. I wouldn’t own a truck at all, otherwise. I hate driving and parking full size trucks, and the visibility sucks. I could get what I...
