Just a few of the ideas on my drawing board at the moment. Not on the westy but for the westy--shortened my heavy duty metal cargo wagon that I use for salvage yard trips from 53 inches to 44 inches to fit in the westy easier and added a couple fastening points for my tool box that I haul in with me. I hate making trips back out for tools that I didn¹t carry in. I have a mig and torch. I prefer my torch for most jobs and primarily only use the mig for upside down stuff or where a torch would be a major hazard. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
