Well it's just a 110v flux lincoln welder pack. It's my dads but I'm welding everything at school I wouldn't use it for a bumper but I'm sure it would work. I welded the tabs on with a dual shield Lincoln and I welded the other parts with a mig. I found out that dual shield is probably the best one to use.

My friend got his moms chevy cobalt stuck on the side of the road on a dirt road in 6" of snow. My friend went to help him in his Nissan truck with no strap and used 2 tie downs. He broke one and the car slid into him breaking the cars tail light and smashing the nissans fender into the door. They left it over night and I went up with the right stuff that I carry in my jeep and got him down with no damages and saved him 675$ for a tow.

Got more done on my jeep. I would have had it 99% done if all 4 of the drill batteries weren't dead. Should be there tomorrow then it just needs paint.

Yeah I was surprised at how quick it came out. I'm finding that the support isn't enough and it wiggles a little so I'm going to be adding a bottom support that swings too. Heres a drawing.

So today I've been working on my new zj tie rod. I'm painting it now. Then I have new boots to put on it and then regrease. I went to mount logan off road and will be getting a tapered sleeve for my tie rod flip sometime Monday.

and I did this in photoshop real fast. I have a psd of the little yeti guy that I cut out (pain in the butt!) if you want the psd file I can email it. Just a quick idea of what it might look like if somebody did it on a cherokee

Nothing too realistic, but it gives you a good idea
EDIT: Also, I figure if you are going for the look of the arctic, maybe some lights like this would look good. Only projector style lights for your year cherokee I have ever seen. http://images.channeladvisor.com/Sel.../LHP7X6JM2.jpg

Then I am thinking about the autopal h4 headlights with a wiring harness and laying a piece of tint film over it that way If the cause a problem being tinted I won't have to switch them out.
For badges I'll do a decal cause it's cheaper and I can get it the size I want it. And I want to see about how I can put the badge on the seat covers when I change the interior to black.
