Jeep Rubicon axles modified to fit. Mig and Tig welding basics.
If you have a welder and are into custom cars, trucks, or Jeeps this is a project that you will most likely tackle at some point in time. A friend is swapping Jeep Gladiator Rubicon axles into his Jeep JL sport and had tacked in all of his bracketry where he wanted. All I had to do was finish weld everything in order to finish the job. Follow along as I show my process and give a few welding and fabrication tricks along the way.
