Yeah... Could always put heavier ones in the factory locations. I would suggest making those removable though.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

ok makes sense thanksComment

rellik god, what do you use to weld all this stuff? A stick welder? A fancy 220v MIG?Comment

a millermatic 115v migComment

What? How thick is the steel right there? Are you really getting proper penetration with such a small MIG? I always preferred Millers myself, but I wouldn't have thought that such a small one could be reliably welding steel that thick.Comment

I've done nice clean frame work on the wagon with a Lincoln Pro 110 or 150, which is a small 120V mig. Scott's 230V lincoln is so much sweeter though.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Do you actually get complete penetration with that? I'd be uneasy using a 110-120 on such thick steel.Comment

that's why you chamfer the edge and build up the weld. I did a 45* cut on both edges and went over the weld building it up.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons
