Ya flux core sux but it was free and at first I didn't like thorn birds but they wear nice on the highway. They are ok on clay but are good in deep mud. They arnt terribly loud. I Am running 38x14.5 on a 16 inch wide rim and I would buy them again but 38.5x16. They aren't boggers but you can use them daily for more then a month. Thank you for checking it out.

Yea, we have a Big Stick also, we have a **** ton of rods for it, and we have a spot weld attachment for it. But ive never welded with stick, nor plan to learn any time soon. The lil wire feed gets the job done so far. I want a TIG.

Cool truck! Glad to see another one brought back from the dead.

I'm still on the hunt for a good crew cab project...
