Just talked to Max at DBO. Extremely cool guy. Looks like I can get the Mojave with the receiver for around $250 shipped using a forum discount.

As roninofako said I'm one of those guys that is always looking for a reason to hang out in my shop and use my welder. I like being able to tweak things to my liking and the pride that comes along with being able to say " I built that". I still haven't decided 100% on DBO yet but they are definitely the front runner at this point.

And a plasma is definitely on the top of my list for the next big tool purchase as soon as I get my new shop finished.
Thanks again for all the input guys. If anyone else has suggestions or ideas please send em my way

Get a plasma cutter with a pointy tip...not a blunt tip.



...as opposed to:




Mine has the blunt tip. (Eastwoods) When cutting freehand it's hard to see what your're doing and make a precise cut.

I bought a JCR Offroad Rear DIY and and very satisfied with it. JCR customer service was helpful before the purchase and answered my questions as needed.

I've been thinking about offering a diy bumper kit.. Not sure though. As far as plasma cutters go, I recomend thermal dynamics.. I've used them all, and like them best.. Lincoln was worst.. Had 2 lincolns. Right now I have thermal dynamics cutmaster 151 on my cnc and another cutmaster 51 with 100 ft lead .. Also have a hypertherm powermax 600. I love miller welders, have 4 of them.
