Well I decided I should probly get goin on my bumpers before I head back to school in January.

Last month I picked up a slighly damaged ARB bumper for $100. PO has smacked a telephone pole at around 35 and tweaked the driver's side pretty good.

We got it welded up today and she's a Beaut. I'll load a pic up tommorow morning.

Also started on my rear bumper which is a peice of 8" channel bent and formed to wrap around the rear. Heavy as shit but it'll do nicely.

Also, thought I'd show off some of our lil welders.

Zac! I have been meaning to look up that Cricket! I found one for 40 bucks. I haven't been to look at it yet. The guy says it powers up fine and feeds wire fine but won't arc. He says that a wire came loose from a capacitor. I'm hopin I can solder it back together and weld some stuff. What amperage is that lil sucker?

I cant remember the amperage.. But I love cause I can throw the sucker in any 110 outlet and weld away...

Might grap another and use a invertor in the jeep to power on trails,

Hot Rod Mag just had an article about a new Miller Mini. It's about the size of a large briefcase...

You guys think a brand new shiney Hobart Handler 135 with like one hour on it with a cart, reg and bottle is worth 400 bucks?
