I should add, be careful when welding overhead or when a splash can hit you. Burns flat suck. Starting fires does too. Have a fire extinguisher on hand and some water and a shovel BEFORE you strike an arc. Watch when welding close to heat sensitive stuff, wrap in a water soaked towel to stop...

The readywelder is easy to use. stick is an old school art, wire is much easier for a beginner to get good welds. I have welded 3/4" plate in one pass with mine, done some .120" tube too. It is pretty durable and uses standard Tweco front end parts. I bought mine off of craigslist for $250, it...

M35A2, Good point! I noticed last I had the battery out that it had a e-bite on the positve side lug. Good solution. Another thing I would change if I did it again is to do away with the isolator that is in now (NOCO 140amp isolator)and use a combiner like this...

Having two batts does not mean you will not have two dead batteries. If you have one isolated, then only one will go dead. This will leave you with a full spare batt. I have two gel cell deep cycle 55ah batts that I can charge togther using a isolator and have a dash mounted switch to bring the...

If you have wind at night, you could put in a 12v wind turbine (make it portable enough for your needs) and run some dump load resistors to heat the bed of your truck. Put a switch in to kick it off/over to charge your 12v battery/batteries. The link posted for resistors is not safe to use as...

High five bro!

Extreme aire works great on ours. I can air up all four from 8 to 30 psi in a few minutes. Plus I can air up others too without heat problems. It was mentioned this may be a bad design if dirt or water gets past filter, true, same goes for the engine in the engine compartment, treat it with...

Zach, Go for it. Mine has been holding up to some serious abuse without even squeeking. Mega spindle, 33" tire, two 5gl cans, mig welder, water jug, ice chest and a pelican picnic basket. everything off the back of the bumper (except wife and kid) fit on the bumper: And shes not a mall...

A CPR barrier mask makes the task less daunting. How about a "minor surgery kit" military surplus style? Goes with the theme! Even has sutures! User beware, probably for looks anyway LOL. Steri-strips are handy to close up wounds till proper halp can be had...

Here are a few of mine........ Top is a Alan Elishewitz, middle is a Don Maxwell and bottom is mine, which has been carried everyday since 2000 Top two, Hubertus (I picked these up at the factory in Solingen), next Microtech HALO, Paragon elite, Haller Blitz The obligatory Gerber (sorry no...

Love our 01' XLT sport 4x4! Tows like an animal, yes it is poor mpg, but it will pass everything but the gas station. It has 180k now and runs like it did new. We maintain it well but other than that we drive it every day and tow at least once a month, it has done at least 12 1k mile trips...

Was your oem batt a lead acid?

Thank-you!, it has been in for about three years and has worked great out here in the so-cal mountains and deserts. Top of the list for welding repairs has been steering rods that kink, cut out the bad section and splint it with a piece of angle iron or even tube if you have the right size. WSS

None of mine are over 7/8 years old. Customer service is not why I run TWO yellow tops, it's because I do NOT want to walk out or borrow a battery. Optima had a "FEW" batteries fail and the word went out on the internet that they were no good anymore. I am sure Optima fixed what ever quality...

Thought I would pop in with a photo........ Very happy with mine. Using Anderson connectors "wired" correctly, I have 24v for mig/fcaw welding.

Nice! We carry a ReadyWelder 24v welder. Welds 16ga to 5/8" with ease.

If you keep them together, you have the advantage of 24v for welding. Mine has the outside (closest to fender) hinged for quick removal for portable 12v power or a quick jump that I cannot reach with cables alone. Also has a isolator and 200amp relay to self jump if the main goes dead, just flip...

Here are some diy parts that work well. I built mine using the "builders kit" and the mega spindle upgrade. It opens like butter. http://www.atozfabrication.com/store/home.php?cat=274

^^^Welding is good^^^ but most of your success is in the layout and fab skills. NICE work!

It does not really have to be moved as long as the pressure is static throughout the system (no shut off valves to isolate), if there are valves to isolate pressure, then the best place for the pressure switch is on or close to the pump outlet. To see the "real" effect, put a pressure gauge on...
