if i manage to get a welder/learn how to weld/money stays good, im going to weld in frame stiffeners and then weld the hitch in. you would be surprised what a cherokee can tow (try a 9x12 enclosed uhaul trailer, so big it isnt fun). if anyone wants to know the story about it, ask before you say "man that is way too big" (seriously though) :P

No extra welders. Keep an eye on the pawn shops, you can get a nice Lincoln setup for a couple hundred.
Yes I can teach you how to weld... better to learn on scraps before you try it on your jeep....thin guage is a PITA

Besides Countrythang, anyone else running without the front sway bar? I want to be disconnected for RC but looks like I won't get the disconnects until after. I'm thinking about running without it for the trip. any thoughts?

i run without a front sway bar, but i drive like an old lady. speed limit, insane following distance, as soon as i get new links though, they are getting connected. very dangerous to drive without them in the front. back, doesnt matter.

understandable. whats the best set up when it comes to a welder. and could you (not in anyway saying you weld like ****) but post up a pic, or link to PB or something that you can see your welds? i had a friend say he definitely could weld... but then the exhaust pipe was covered in boogers at the joint...

Get a Miller or Lincoln MIG with gas hookup, can do so much more and get flatter, prettier welds. I actually used a HF buzzbox to build this bumper to make a point. It's not the actual welding machine, it's the welder that gets the end results
Pictures of the muffler welded up for the ZJ
Have pictures of a galvanized roofrack somewhere I built for a buddies ZJ, I'll dig em out later...
