i've seeen one of those welder kits for an off-road truck up close; looked pretty much like a big alternator and a control box that i never got a good look at.

 

yeah, theyre really expensive too...

ill see what i can come up with.

IIRC though it was like a 400 AMP alternator! those are not cheap!!

 

they also have a cool mig spoolgun attachment

 

anyone know where to get high output alternators &gt;170 a for less than 1000$, lol?

 

I heard of some jeep dudes using a couple batteries and jumper cables to stick weld on the trail before. I swear it was in one of my brothers 4wd magazines. Ghetto to the max yo

check ebay; i found a few 250a gm 1 wires for ~ $300. i nearly bought one to put on my Z32 and to prove this dipshit wrong at a local audio shop.

i didnt think constant voltage and stick welding went together verry well?

 

I have no idea. I read it in a magazine it must be true.

 

yeah battery welding is pretty popluar, 3 baterries can net you like 250A. pretty sweet. and you can rig a mig spool gun to it too.
