I bought that same welder off craigslist. It has worked great for me. You should make heavy duty front and rear bumpers.

ahhh im debating on what kind of bumper, id like lower profile for clearance or a tube but i dont like them to much, and ive seen some that are insane strong but ugly as hell, so weather strength of looks is better i dont really know yet, maybe once i finish my lift ill have enough clearance(12 inch lift coils just paid for
