**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

Got the light bar installed on my turd gen

 

I need to get myself one of those

 

Need to test/aim it tonight. But so far it's pretty bright

 

Nah, I meant the third gen.. I have light bars lol

 

They're ok. Lol

 

noice. I washed mine today too. Man SOR did a number on my sliders. Now i can touch em up tomorrow

Also ordered up a 50" curved to mount on the A pillars.

 

Dude right! My shit is f'd up! My boss wasn't happy about the 10 pounds of dirt I left behind that I didn't clean up either

 

For all you guys who do your own fab/welding, what's a good welder for me to start off at? I might as well just get the right one instead of moving my way up different welders. I was looking into this one:

MIG Welder, Handheld, 120VAC

$799 LINCOLN ELECTRIC CO K2697-1 Easy MIG 140 Wire Feed Welder,

If your looking for a MIG spend the money and go with the Miller 140 auto set. I have one at work and it's a nice little welder. I've put that welder thru a ton of work and it's always done good.

 

I've narrowed it down to three options;

Hobart Handler 140
- 20% @ 90a
Hobart MVP 210
- 20% @ 90a on 115V
- 30% @ 150a on 230V
Lincoln Weld Pak 140 HD
- 20% @ 90a on 115V

 

Look up what their duty cycle is. You want to get the highest percent duty cycle you can get. I know you might not ever put the welder thru that much work but it will help with over heating and make a big difference in the beads you put down. I weld a lot lol

 

Updated my last post with cycles.

Not sure if that's the right stuff because I have no idea!

 

Are you looking for one that runs on 110v or 240v? The 110 is pretty nice because you can plug her into any old outlet and go to town.

 

Well, I already have 240v wired in so I don't know why I'm looking at 110v. Probably because I would need to get an extension for the 240v to move around the garage.

I'm thinking the Hobart MVP will be the choice I go with

 

Good choice. Get a good regulator and a bottle of CO2. Stay away from that Flux wire shit.

 

I know someone would make the drive for this!
