My 2WD Toyota pickup build has been upgraded from 5x4.5" to 6x5.5" hubs, so we increased the lug shear strength by 20% right off the bat. Stock studs are carbon steel M12x1.5, ARP makes chromoly M12x1.5 studs. There's also M14x1.5 and the popular 5/8-18 studs. I understand that bigger is better...

You may need to bite the bullet and upgrade the control module to run their FireControl software, that way you can run torch heigh control as well. If you have the first generation Crossfire as I do, we would need to upgrade the control module anyways...

I just bought 5 Kanati 35x10.5r15's, hopefully I have better luck than you guys^^...

I bought a Gen1 Bosch i-booster (more compact than Gen2) off of a 18/19 Honda CRV. I started designing a pedal linkage for under the dash, but still running into packaging issues because I have three pedals. Ready to say F-it and run a Tilton pedal assembly. Running a long pedal should help...

Moving back to CA, working on my truck again, looking forward to desert trips. CA sucks financially and politically, but Texas sucks for camping, off-roading and shooting guns believe it or not!

I remember back in the late 90's when Fabtech was more of a pre-runner supplier of cool stuff vs the disco truck era of today. I used to drool over their Ivan Dan kit and the boxed I-beams for the F-150's. Assuming your dad is Matt Helton? If you can't find many of the OG Fabtech stuff, I'm sure...

Just checked out the Everlast website, their welders definitely seem like a great value!

I've been out of the welder market for a while, cant believe how expensive welders are these days. Need something to weld Sili-Bronze, sheet steel, and aluminum...cant see welding anything much thicker than .188"...maybe .250" aluminum occasionally. My budget is less than $2k if possible.

Absolutely! Thanks again!

Awesome Thanks! Yes, they are the only 5" bedsides from Hannemann that utilize the stock pickup tailights. Can I send them your pics to add to their website?

Hate to have to post this here, but Hannemann doesn't have pictures of this product. I called and talked to the owner twice with no luck. I need to order bedsides, but would prefer not to order sight unseen lol.

Picking up where I left off....let's go!
