    I don't farcebook either, but I do still use Craigslist occasionally, mostly for stuff I just want to give away to get rid of, so no transaction really. I did just sell my tonneau cover through it though. Messaged back and forth for a few weeks, settled on a fair cash only price, and he came by with his Taco last weekend. We talked trucks and wheeling for a bit and completed the sale. Nice dude and a positive experience.

    I know it can get shady on there, but maybe Toyota guys are just better people, right? :taco:

    That must be it. A couple of months ago, I helped my son sell his old car. I priced it $1k under average KBB price because the A/C wasn't working and it had a problem with the LR ABS sensor that I didn't want to screw with. First guy that responded, asked if I'd take $1200 less, without even seeing the car. My reply: fuck off, troll.

    Looking at the Karnage welder system... Adam got anything to say? Alternatives. Like that it is a complete unit separate from batteries. Not much as these things go either...

    Edit: Not a need, but a want...

    Is that the one that runs off batteries?

    I think @Snowy has one or knows someone who does.

    Copy;
    The one I was thinking of someone on TW in the last year or so was talking about a welder that used two batteries out of trucks to weld & had a mini spool mig.

    I carry a Bun welder. It’s absolutely kicks ass with a couple of batteries and is way cheaper at $425. Good people behind it too.

    I looked at Bun. Cannot figure out their website-probably me; but... Probably worth a call as that is quite a bit less. I do like the compact simplicity of the Karnage
