Ran a set of 255/85r16’s many years ago and really liked them (probably my favorite mud tire). They weren’t the longest lasting, but everything else about them was great on and off road. I’m not sure if I just got lucky or what, but I didn’t have any balance issues with the trxus and they ran...

Looks like a 3FE pump and bracket to me.

Good to know. I knew city racer recommend swapping them but I haven’t messed with the jets in mine. I’ll have to give the other jets a try.

What jets did you go with?

Those thick ones look like the bushings skyjacker supplies. Last year I switched to skyjacker springs and remember their bushings shoulders being thicker then the ones I got from CruiserTeq.

Believe it should be to the front. I have the same skyjacker 2.5 with 4* shims (stock length shackles) and if I remember correctly my castor angle is 2ish*

Price is essentially why I went with the Hobart 140 at the time. However, at work we have a Miller 211 and it’s a much nicer machine. If I was upgrading to a new mig that’s what I’d probably go with if it was in the budget.

I’ve had my Hobart 140 for 16/17 years or so and it’s never let me down with just occasional use. A couple of times I’ve wished I had a 220 machine, but for the price point and flexibility of being able to move it around without needing 220 I’ve been happy with it.

I might be interested in one depending on price and timing.

@Sparkman86 just out of curiosity what did you use when you cut yours? Hacksaw, cutoff wheel?

I got replacements from SOR within the last year or two. Edit: looks like they only have the left one in stock currently.

Started on my front axle rebuild. I was a little weary of this job, but tear down went very smoothly and quicker than I expected. I knew the knuckles were loose and leaky, but when I got into it I found some PO had not used the lock washers on the hub nuts and the nuts were completely loose and...

I used BTB’s rear disc kit for the brakes (their GM caliper /non wilwood one) and a rear axle rebuild kit from CruiserTeq. Zero fitment issues with BTB’s kit.
