What are your thoughts on a welder? I tried to go the 110v route with a Lincoln 140 and was less than impressed with the results on welding the frame. I then went with a Hobart 190 and will never turn back. I run the welder off my dryer plug and a 50ft extension cable. It burns awesome for the thick stuff like frame mounts. I did a little body work on a lower setting and welded my transmission tunnel in the cab. All very nice even for an amateur.

Don't skimp on this tool. You'll use it a ton!
