Chainsaw - Recovery - Vehicle

I miss my truck.
With the growing family, I needed room for a second car seat. Extra cab Tacoma didn't have room for an infant seat behind the driver seat.
And at the time, fuel was $4/gal.
I was spending $100/wk in fuel just traveling to work.
My next vehicle will be another Tacoma (My 4th).
We mostly drive yota's in our family. I had a 03 Rav4 for 135K (50k-185k) miles and the only thing that went wrong beyond regular maintenance was a door lock actuator. I bought it for $13,200 and sold it for $5400. That thing didn't owe me a dime! If it was 4wd I would have never sold it. I have a Highlander, wife has Camry, Mom has Avalon, Dad has Tundra, little brother has Tundra, his wife has Camry, older brother has 3x Camry's for his insurance agency, grandparents have Camry, BIL's gf has a Carolla.

The one thing I wish Toyota would make is a medium size sedan with AWD that gets 28-32mpg like the Subaru's have. We have been dangerously close to selling the Camry a couple times and getting an Outback or Forester a couple times. We have a really steep driveway on 3.5miles of gravel. The only thing that stops us from getting a Subaru is taking on another car payment.

I was looking into a Hobart 210 MVP so i can run on 220 or 110. I have an old Marquette buzz box arc so technically I can weld just about anything but my arc welding never looks good and I could do lots of tractor attachments for myself that look better with a 220 mig.

we'll see. I really want to make it but haven't heard about the carving yet. Don't know if we'll be able to hook up on that yet or not.

Looks like I can scoot across to Cleveland in 10hrs and then pick up a ride with dave from there. Problem is we are on different time tables and I lost my co-pilot. 20hrs of driving will be a lot for my shoulder that just had surgery a couple weeks ago.

As for the scrapers... I ordered a few extras...
