welding shock mounts on the axle ? what about spring mounting plates with shock mounts made together ?? like what is used by the MJ ??
Shouldn't be a problem. My Currie can accept studs for shocks. I know some people use the stock YJ plates for shock mounts as well. Shock mounts are usually less then $30 a pair though. When I welded my shock mounts, I rotated mine up so they're not hanging any locker then the spring plate. |

Well, I finally decided to buy myself a welder. I went Chinese, since all the branded stuff here is over $600 (WAAAAAAYYY too much to learn with!). So I got me a 105A MIG welder that can use both flux chore or gas. It's 220V (not an issue for me), and has 4 power settings. I have not yet tried it out, but plan to do so sometime this week (time permiting). By the way, it was a bit under $200, which for Costa Rica is DIRT CHEAP (that means in the US it would be around $75; probably wont last all that long, but I dont intend to use it all that much either, so I guess it's OK to learn with).

Scott~ Using tools you have not used in a while is like shaking hands with old friends.  |

I have two but one's a crappy beginner. I'm looking at getting a Gibson Traditional. Enough to buy two welders if I was going to do so.  Although if I downgrade my Jeep enough I won't have to ever buy a welder. |

I think one important thing to remember also when out buying these welders is whats called the duty cycles on them which i havnt seen mentioned much in here. The duty cycle on a welder indicates how much time it can run at full power in an hours time. Some expensive ones have 100% duty cycles which basicly means you should be able to run it constantly without ever burning it up, while cheaper ones have lets say a 20% duty cycle which means u can only run it full power for 20% or an hour which is 12 minutes before having to let it cool down. Knowing this can save you from messing your welders up

Thought I might chime in here. Having a lot of experience welding I can tell you that I have owned Lincolns, but I prefer Miller. My stable contains a Miller 140 Auto-set mig, Miller 212 mig, Miller Synchrowave 180SD tig, Miller Bobcat 250 engine-driven welder, Thermal Dynamics CutMaster 82 plasma cutter with manual & machine torches, and a Torchmate TM2 4X4 CNC plasma table with AVHC, not to mention numerous sets of Victor torches and a Premier Power welder set up on my truck. I am open to offer information to anybody here requiring it.
