And yes....established is a big word. In terms of perception, I think Nissan coming out with anything bigger than a half ton is a risk. And doing it half way with a half heavy....I love the idea, not sure if it's smart on their part though.

It is easier to make a "bad" weld when you start getting crazy with the weaves, but as long as you can read the puddle and manipulate it to do what you need it to do, you're good. In the past I've had CWIs that have let me weld test coupons "my way" as long as I also submit…
