In order to weld it, you need nickel rods and make sure the metal is really clean.

Gonna grab a d30 from the junkyard either tomorrow or friday. If I get one from a ZJ with V8 will it bolt into my XJ? Or would I be better off getting one from an XJ and then getting the tie rod, etc from the ZJ?

They are steel if I'm not mistaken. I ain't no welder but I know you can weld them with flux core of you really wanted to.

With the ride, sounds good. Gives me time to grab a sub for lunch. I'm about 40 minutes away or so. Looking forward to it.

not saying that its right but i weld cast with my hobart 140 with flux wire and never had a problem yet... matter of time maybe but cut up high and it being flux it burns way hotter so never had a problem... every other builder in the world will tell ya all kinds of tricks with sand and all this or itll never work but whatever...
