So I'm wanting to do something different to my rig. My only big problem is I don't have a welder or know how to weld so my question is...what can I do to make my rig more unique without a welder?

Plenty! What would you do if you had a welder?

Make front and rear bumpers. Make a roof rack.

I built my first roof rack without a welder. Google it or look at my build page. Tons of info for that. Bumpers are a little trickier but you can always find some other XJ guys in your area. They always seem pretty open to give other xj guys a hand when they need it.

Just googled it and saw some good lookin racks. Might have to get a little extra money and make one

Yeah, you can build a nice roof rack without a welder.

What else can I do without a welder than will look decent?

The cut and put in diamond plate mod lol. Too much rust to fold so I did this. Absolutely no welding I like it. Oh I don't have the finished pics. Ill upload from my phone one later lol

take the small flap under your front bumper off and then trim the corners up a little to match.

also a roof rack that did not require welding. I don't put much on the rack but if you are going to I would suggest something stronger then EMT.

I'm planning on taking the end caps off the front and rear bumpers for now. At least until I get get different bumpers

My passenger side it pretty rusted to I'll end up going with something like that.
What did you use to hold them on with?
