[TheForge] Inverters & MIG Welders

[Larry Brown]

I agree with Frosty. You can put alot of effort and money into running a 
welder from your trucks electric system and still have the cost of running 
your truck. I would consider renting and engine driven welder for large 
jobs where you can't use their power or maybe buying one. Most engine 
driven welders are generators also and can be mounted on a small trailer
