SOB is heavy as heck considering the awkwardness moving it across the terrain outside of my shop. Plus the Harbor Freight cart tires are beyond flat. Anyone see any issues with storing it outside in the elements?

Typical Ox/Acet plus victor gages / handle / tips etc.

Anyone else lazy? Or is it a bad idea all together?

Anyone else have the Harbor Freight cart with POS wheels/tires? If so, have you swapped them out to anything different?
 
bottles yes, it's fine. However the regulators will have a short life span in the elements. We used have to replace them often at work. Oxy/Mapp and Acet.
 
Have a setup in the back of a couple service trucks, outside 365 days a year. Other than the hoses getting weathered a little faster there is no issue with it.

I kept mine on my field truck outside and hooked up for years. No issues whatsoever.
