I don't want to wire the garage for 240 because I don't feel like paying to get a permit to run line to my outside garage and then pay to have the inspectors come by, and if they see anything out of line with the house or garage I will be screwed into fixing stuff I don't have to right now. A generator would also allow me to make my welder mobile, in case I break something offroad on the Raider, the Montero can bring the trailer with the generator and welder to do a trailside fix.
