My d1 rearbar..........

Hi Tim,
Comming along realy well.
I am looking at getting a Mig and yours looks to be doing a resonable job and by the hand piece I have ssen in some of your pics, I am assuming its about a 150 amp-180 amp Mig with Gass. Could you please advise brand style and if you are happy.
Just qurious as I am thinking of getting one for home as i have a lot of little jobs to do.
Rock sliders, rear bar, front steering guard,diff guards:D:D:cool:
and what i tell the wife I Need It for Hand rails for new deck and a couple of sets of stair hand rails. :twisted: :twisted:

Cheers Allan

Hey Allan:)
Yep ours is a mig and it's a transmig195 amp (gass), it's a realy old welder (about 20 years old) so the technology would have changed alot by now, i think the brand is ''CIG'';)
So far (dad bought it new along time ago) it has done the job just fine, dad built an alloy camper trailer with it and many other jobs:)
Your best bet would be to go the biggest welder you can afford, if we bought another mig it would be a 250amp so you can weld alloy without a problem;)
There going cheap on ebay at the moment:D

CHEERS TIM.

Looking good Tim, should look realy good when painted.

Looks really good Tim, has inspired me big time to replace my crappy rear end :(:o.

Question for you. Are you at some stage maybe putting a swing away wheel carrier on the bar, taking the spare off the door?

Nevertheless, need to shake the old man into action and get his welding skills going ;).

Cheers

Hey Goldey:)
At this stage i'm not going to do a swing away as i'm only planning on having 31'' tyres for now, but later on when i go bigger tyres i will consider one, shouldn't be hard to modify for one;)

CHEERS TIM.
