    Weld looks fine. Bump up the heat a little more. It'll help the weld lay flatter. If you can, bevel an edge on one or both pieces to get a better weld and penetration. With flux, prep is key and it looks like you did that. Make sure the metal is clean.

    I had general grabber AT2 on the ranger I got rid of for the Tacoma. Had I paid attention the sizes of the Tacoma wheels I might have kept them. They were 265/70/16. Only had about 40k miles on them. They were one of my favorite truck tires ever.

    That's at max remember it's just a little 125 amper but yeah got to clean 17yrs worth of multiple undercoating/paint and road grime .I tend to try over prep the metal if that's at all possible

    Not a huge fan of the bfg ko. Wet traction is literally non existent. Replacing them in about a month before the snow hits with Toyo at2s 285/70/17. I'll have three of the KO's with low tread leftover if anyone wants a free spare.
