Got the welder all wired up. Did I ever mention that pulling 8 and 12 gauge wires at once alone kind of sucks?

Dropped them down at the panel (which is a mess in itself. Looks like the last homeowners thought they knew how to wire.. It's just bad... http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/4.09.05.b.jpg

Wires fed through to the plug in the garage

plug all put together and wired http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/4.09.05.d.jpg

Wired the nema-50 plug to the 50 amp circuit that was open since I have a gas stove instead of electric http://www.bigassjeep.com/pics/phoenix/4.09.05.e.jpg

I love my mig welder setup :thumbsup:

What my house always looks like before a pgh-offroad meet and greet (last minute crap...)

I replaced both rear shafts, they're now Superiors. Changed the diff fluid and replaced the rear brake pads, old ones were worn down to nothing.

Looks good...
Ever notice how when you need to pull wire and crap like that, there's no one else around..... 8O

How'd the gears look?

I'm jealous of the welder...

BTW - it's snowing like mad out now. Forcasting up to 12" today.

Atleast you're not in Westcliffe with Pat, they're getting (as of yesterdays forecast) 10-30" today!

Gears looked perfect, fluid was perfectly clean!

Now to go get some metal to spend the day playing with the welder :partyman:

Glad the gears look good.....maybe this year we can wheel more than wrench ;)
