I'm exaggerating, of course. I didn't weld it, but it ain't pretty. It works, though. Now my door latch hits the striker instead of hitting 1/4" low and sliding up it.

yeah, a friend of mine was supposed to do mine this week... he's moving away tomorrow and now I don't know when I'll ever get it done.

My bud used to do industrial structural welding for oil field equipment. Pretty sure the unibody or the hinge itself will break before this weld.

You know you drive an XJ when...3 foot cheater pipe on 1/4" drive ratchet with a 1/2" socket and a cut in half T60 bit. Name what I was fixing. (Hint-oil filter adapter, the o-ring was practically dust it was so dry rotted)
