Nothing exciting for mine... I just picked up a little angle iron to make a new battery tray. I want to be able to stick a little bigger marine battery under the hood but it's to tall.

But my brothers girl friend just picked up an 85 cherokee that has some cancer in the rear unibody rails. So we are going to cut it out and put some fresh steel in before her lift goes on.

Thinking about just fabbing one up, it would be cheaper to. Id only go with 1/8" because it would be a lot lighter and plenty strong for what I do. Do you think a HF 90 amp flux core mig with good wire could handle it?

I know very little about mig welders, I have always used an arc welder. I did a quick google search though and it sounds like you shouldnt have any problem 1/8 - 3/16''

Made some headway on the jeep today. Swapped the rear axle with an 8.25 I got for almost nothing. Replaced the shafts and hubs on the front. But, the brakes went out on me and had to use the e-brake to get home. Also the heater controll valve cracked and sprayed like crazy. I just looped the heater hose around so I could drive it back. At least the next two fixes should be quick...

Nice. When you say "the next two fixes" are you talking about the brakes and heather control valve... or what are you working on next?
