Too late

A red star isn't a saving grace either...

Eh, I still like it though. Room for improvement on your fab skills, but thats how you learn, and such is life.

yeah, at least I got some honest opinions! Looks like my reputation just went downhill fast, real fast, on that site!

I can see where they are all comming from being its a strictly offroading site...

yeah, over there you pretty much just have to read a lot before you start posting. n00b questions go in the n00b 4x4 forum, hardcore tech goes in general. searching is your friend, and don't take anything personally. adhere to that, and you'll survive. not only will you survive, but you will have the ability to learn more on that website than any other website with regards to offroading. good luck to you

i'll post up the link when I am ready..

I notice with the flux core I can actually see the metal melting and meshing. Mig you can't see it that well. Gives some ugly welds, but it should look good after I clean them up and sandblast them. Also, reading in the manual, they suggest flux core for 3/16 and up for full penetration. (110, 140v)

You can usually get stronger/cleaner welds with a shielding gas over a flux core wire... so long as it isn't windy or you are in a shop. Anyways, the bracketry welds are pretty good for flux core... but there is always room for improvement
