    A torch is my next investment. But I don't see why I couldn't do it with a cut off wheel and a grinder.

    I think the space would be too small for a cut off wheel. If you used a cut off wheel you would have to cut way past the corners.

    I kinda want to go with a plasma because I'd really like to not have to carry bottles around. The space in the back of my truck is already limited

    Or a trailer. That's what I'm leaning towards

    Trailers are the way to go IMO. It makes changing trucks much easier. If your truck is down for some reason your whole business is not in the shop with it if you use a trailer.

    Aesthetics are nice; but unless you want to be sitting on your ass not earning money when truck needs some repairs or maintenance you will want a trailer. Trailers are great because you can leave them at a job site to save gas or when you want to take your girl out on the town you are not taking your tools on a show-n-steal display while you are eating.

    I completely agree with everything you just said and are the exact reasons I want a trailer. And it will save gas not having 800lbs of welding stuff in my truck 24/7

    This isn't like Blake at all, to actually finish something or to have a capable rig that can hit the trails more than once.
