    Tillman tig gloves and a miller blue cotton jacket. Maybe $50 for both from Airgas. My helmet is a Jackson Safety auto darkening.

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    If you have a local place or local supply chain, go there instead, AirGas prices are universally terrible for welding supplies and gases. We have a place here called Norco, that I freaking love for gas prices. And another that's more common called Oxarc that has consumables and safety gear with good prices. The Airgas is price fixed or something to a crazy high national average or something, their stores are super corporate style

    Figured I'd go to figure sizing for certain brands, but you're right regarding the cost for their gas.

    I only got a discount as a guy that's worked there for years bought a car from us and recognized me there one time.

    Airgas in my area is about the same price on apparel/ppe as anywhere else. Its their consumables where they bend you over.

    I should check FB more often; winch sold for $380

    It's interesting that I did see the price increase from $599 to $629

    I had the older one, the AT2, on a Grand Cherokee. They were good in snow and well mannered on the highway. I didn't do any wheeling with them, though.

    I think they grip better in wet than KO2s due to all the sipes. I think they are quieter too.

    I have different General Grabbers LR E on my trailer instead of trailer tires and they're bitchin.

    good to know, I don't do much wheeling in the 2nd Gen its my daily driver. But do drive in the snow a lot. I think I may give them a chance.

    they are $200 cheaper than the BFGs and im getting sick of only getting 30,000 miles out of a set of tires.
