Mine or his, haven't decided yet. either way we'll throw the axle in my truck and take it to work. They have 480V welders with thick(ish) wire, super easy to get good penetration!

Yeah gussets, sleeves, skids. I was thinking of about those rse shells too. But that may be a bit premature yet. I'd like to hear what Kevin has to say on the subject first.

), but more welds on the outside of the tube make me nervous vs. plug welds up the length of the tube. I'd do a prorock 44 before adding more than this personally.
