I'm trying right now to decide between going automotive or welding at front range. Automotive will help me fix my jeep but there's significantly more money in welding. Any input?

Lol. I'm still in high school but I can take half my day for a front range class. So I don't think doing both is an option at the moment

Lol my bumpers have more iron than even that one. Shes never failed me when I hit things.

My winch is as, if not out farther than that picture and I have yet to find a situation where that's actually impeded my crawling abilities.

God, me and 2 other guys are already 3 assignments past this, and people are STILL working on it.

I think it's the people who actually have decent past exposure to cars that are getting stuff done quick.
