    Cheap MIG welder discussion.

    I don't know that I'd call a 180A welder single pass on 1/4". I'd bump to a 200+ if you can make the stretch and really need 1/4"

    Fridge Slides

    I'm thrilled with the ARB one I got from Kurt. One beefy chunk of metal. I bolt it to the bed of my pickup and it slides out almost to the edge of the tailgate. Plus, no more watching the fridge roam around the bed on rough roads.

    Traeger questions

    OK, so I've had a standard propane grill in addition to my Big Green Egg for some time now, but I'm just fed up with propane.

    Which to keep, Denali or LX470?

    Once I did a thing, and mind you this was in Texas over 20 years ago, but the dealer processed the title transfer for a private sale and was able to apply the sales price to the new vehicle to reduce the taxes.
