So, what else are we needing on gmt400.com?

[Aloicious]

Hey Shaggy, so I just had a thought about something that would be useful to the site. how about a 'tools' section? we could have like tool reviews and suggestions, questions, write ups that are tool specific rather than truck specific (i.e. welding tips, etc.). just a thought.

also, I think its related to the search problems, but when I'm looking at someone's profile, and click on their 'show all threads' by a specific user, it just comes up with nothing. kindof a drag, sometimes I can remember who posted something, but not what the title of the thread was so I try to find it through that user.

Gotta say, I feel at home here. I go on the 88-98 portion of 67-72chevytrucks.com and I feel fairly at home, and FSC is way to large for me, here is just perfect! Great job on the forum, i'd like to possibly see a front page though with upcoming events etc that pertain to the c/k's and possibly new parts that become available for the trucks!

Google search box instead of the vb search? Might be a plug and play mod for you too by now Shag?

Yep, good idea.

Review on types of tools you buy?

 

[Aloicious]

like review of different tool brands, experiences, and recommendations or ones to steer clear of....for example, I bought a skil 4" angle grinder a year or so ago, and it crapped out on me in the first 10 minutes cutting a simple 16g steel tube with a regular cut off wheel, took it back, got a dewalt 4" angle grinder, it has handled everything I can throw at it and then some.

alot of us are fabricators too, so we could share ways to build specialty tools that others could use. for example, I bought a stethoscope from harbor freight for $5, and with some minor alterations, I made something that would work perfect for finding exhaust leaks. (which I'll use once the weather and schedule clears up a bit)

Plus, if I am looking to purchase a tool that is more costly, I like to seek out the advice of people who have experience with them. like I'm looking at welders right now.

just a thought, since practically everything we do on here requires some kind of tool usage.

Not a bad idea. Would it be used?

I'm sure it would be. it wouldn't be the busiest section on the site, but it would be useful IMO.

I second that!

I think it looks good now, but I think there should be an updated Tech section (cough cough gmfs needs this too cough cough). Detailed write ups solve a lot of common problems.
