welding

I’ve got some body rust spots in the floor pans of my 1996 HZJ75 Troop Carrier and looking for a community shop around Seattle that I can work out of to do a couple days of work at this summer to do the repairs. I plan to cut, grind, and MIG weld in a couple metal patches. Does anyone have any...

Hello, Removing the 3rd row seems easy at first and there are a few YouTube videos showing how to do. However, when I started to remove the third row, I encountered a modification that adds a welding spot, preventing the removal. My J200 was manufactured in July 2018. See picture. It...

Here’s another thread to rile some of the guys up haha I knew this was going to happen at some point from my young mischievous behavior, but this last weekend I had gotten a horrible clunking sound after peeling out for a photoshoot. At first I thought it was the transmission, until I started...

Don’t know if there is any connection, but after having Exhaust put on my ABS and dash lights are in full panic mode. Went to dealer and had codes pulled. Brakes feel great, but I’m conflicted if this is electrical/fuse/computer related or if this is mechanical pump related.

Hello all! So a little while back, my drive flanges on the front of my 1993 80 Series had stripped out and caused me to lose power to the front wheels. The splines on the axle shaft had stripped as well and both were showing new levels of polish so they both need to be replaced. I don't know...

As the title says thinking about having some j-pipes built to sell. My father in law has been welding for 40 years and is retired. He saw my j-pipe today and asked who welded that. He wants a project and said he can make that all day long just get me the flanges, bends and stainless pipe and he...

Merry Christmas all! I am in the process of rebuilding my 1979 ‘40, and am getting ready to start welding/repairing the tub and body parts. Since having the original paint blasted off, I have found this tan bead of filler between panels and joints all over the tub. It’s semi-flexible but pretty...

Hi all- a coworker is restoring her deceased brother's CJ5 and needs someone to weld/repair these rusted spots. These are at the bolts under the seats. They don't care about the appearance/neatness of the weld as it will be covered. Is anyone wanting to take on the project for extra holiday...

I need to get some welding work done on the towbar of my facelift 2016 200 Series. do I need to disconnect the earth from both batteries? Is there a time frame for leaving batteries disconnected? Are there any implications or tricks I should be aware of, when doing this? (I am not doing the...

I’m thinking about welding my front differential . I’m 17 so any kind of aftermarket locker is out of the spend most my time in the snow.

I'm starting a new project and wondering if these body panels should be welded. One of the previous owners welded the rear sill to the rear corners so i'm suspicious these also shouldn't be welded.

2001 LC100, in the UK. - Drives brilliantly, great interior, no major issues beforehand - Will not pass its MOT due to corrosion - Service centre suggests the corrosion is bad enough that nothing can be done - Looking for advice on whether someone has managed to overcome similar corrosion with...

Ok, clearly not a Siegmund or Strong Hand, but Harbor Freight is really upping their game lately. The big table that he put together makes less sense to me. You're going to compound any accuracy issues the larger you go. But (like he says) I can see getting one or two and having the option to...

Question for the experts. Is this fixable? It was the first door I did and I’m kicking myself for using the whole patch and not cutting it down to the minimal size I needed to cut out the rust.(like I did my second door.). I watched some videos about using a shrinker disc… Or a torch… Would...

Greetings everyone! I am located here in the UK and I currently am a new owner of a ex-firetruck (HZJ75). As y'all know it comes with a bulbous roof that I am personally not a fan of. I recently purchased the roof section and I am doing TONS of research about MIG welding. This task scares me...

Hi folks! New to the community and have very minimal mechanical experience. I purchased a 99 LX470 with completely rusted out fender bottoms and soft rockers. It’s currently at a welding shop have patches welded in to repair this hole. My question is, does the fab guy have to include sunroof...

I have a cheap DC flux core only welder and minimal experience welding. I am trying to weld solid copper wire (electrical ground wire) tied around a 19mm nut. I would like to snake the wire + nut inside an access hole in my frame so I can thread in a bolt from the outside. The problem is I...

I just finished up fixing a minor rust spot on the rear inner wheel arch. To get the area clean enough for welding I had to scrape off a putty like substance which appears to be spayed over the entire wheel arch. The stuff is a beige colour and is on thick - like 2 or 3mm thick. Can someone help...

Thought y'all would enjoy seeing some expert frame welding. Question, what actually was welded here? I belong to a female toyota FB group and a woman posted this truck and that her and her husband were flying to FL to take a look but they don't know much about them. I suggested she post here and...

My red FJ80 has some rust and I have been working diligently on repairing. There are a few spots around the wheels and rockers. I have tried several shops asking for a weld and repair. They all turn me away, saying that it is too big of a vehicle and they make more money with smaller...
