Thanks.
I would get just the 90 amp flux core. It works unusually well for what it is. I have it, and though i have a better one, i probably use it more.

I love my JCR plate, just because it looks pretty lol. But any that would work with a factory box will work with the Durango box. Some people make custom ones that are sleeved all the way threw... they seam pretty awesome to me!

I just need to learn and practice, so I know what I'm doing before I spend more on a better one. Then maybe I'll know what one to get.

Hey Tom, thanks again for the ujoint replacement education a couple of weeks ago. I had some scrapping and clunking going on underneath. 2 drive shafts joints bad. I replaced all the joints on both shafts and so far so good. The noobs first time doing joints (actually did plenty back in high school but those required a lighter). Gonna pull the snow blower off my friends atv and do some riding and trail running by the jordanelle lake today. Mellow stuff but need to test the front shaft locally

I have access to a really nice Miller at work and a key to the shop. Might be time I start playing around with that sucker.
Just gotta wait to see who the new boss is gonna be and work out covering the cost of the consumables, wire and gas ain't free.
I'm a total newb to welding, but I bet if I can get a few hours playing around with it, good things will happen!
Good, superbuilt, rockbashing things!

Learning how to weld is one of the most beneficial things you'll ever do, Jeff!
