How did that harbor freight welder work for you?
I have no welding experience and want to learn how.

It was from northern tools and was good for body work, but it broke so that's why I bought the Hobart. I will never look back...spend the money and get something nice

Here's some more of the rear in.



How do the welds look? I was almost burning through the axle tubes...

Oh and something may be missing...


There it is! Partially haha

Should be in place by the end of today

Oh and if anyone wants the D30 and 8.8 with the 33's let me know!

Got bondo on the drivers side rear and got most of the body work done on the passenger rear.

I'll post a pic of the drivers side when it gets light outside haha

Also, waiting on a special order from poly performance. Long arms maaaaaay be coming shortly. Really just depends how much tubing is left. Anyone know if I can use my rubicon express lca's and just cut the joints off and weld them on new tubing?

Oh and guess what I found under my jeep yesterday.
