I don't know about that particular welder, but I use a 110V Lincoln Mig. I've built some pretty stout tire carriers and bumpers with it. You just have to go slow and let the puddle form and keep up with your movement. Don't let the wire feed too fast on the thick stuff and you should be set.
I've got a new cable and roller that I just took off my warn winch. The cable and roller are new, and have not pulled anything except the spare tire I dragged as a tensioning weight when I loaded it onto the winch 3 months ago.
I just switched to a synthetic line so no longer need them.
All you need to do is extend the length of the drag link as described above. Just make sure your tires are pointing straight ahead, then unclamp the collar on both ends and turn it in the direction that will make the link longer. Make sure the ignition is not locking the wheel from turning...
I'll be there for part, if not all of the week. Wouldn't miss it, but it is my GF birthday that week, and she has to work. I could get in Trouble (yes, capital T) if I send her a birthday card that reads "Having a blast, wish you were here!"
And don't be afraid to broaden your search outside of you usual area. If you find something outside of your area, you can always ask for a fellow member to go check it out for you. Airfare is cheap and you can turn your new purchase into a road trip.
You could check with Ironman to get his adapter. You would then need to drill out your bracket and weld the thing on after you get it all ligned up.
Both are running a dbl shear TB. One came with the new frame side mount (forgot brand, beefy) the other is Ironman's design using the adapter...
I've done this a few times. Partially for safety, partially cause I don't have stands that are tall enough. Once you do it a couple of times, you get the steps down. Jack the axle, pull the wheels, place the stands under the frame rails, put tires under axle tube, lower jack.
I'd love to help you if I were closer, but I'm not.
It really isn't that difficult should you decide to do it yourself. I've done 2 of them now. Both while they were still under the Jeep. If you haven't visited the AA SYE page, there is a very informative video there of how to do one...
There have been a bunch of good guns suggested here. But asking a guy about what the best hand gun is is like asking a Jeeper about what the best oil is.
My suggestion is to get your hands on as many different guns as you can get your hands on. Talk to friends. Talk to gun dealers. Talk...
Thanks again everyone! With all your help, I think I will be able to save this XJ from getting parted out. Once I get the lights working, I need to focus on the death wobble that comes up at around 40 mph.
Thats going to have to wait until some warmer weather though! -7° here this morning...
Sorry I was a little late to the game. It didn't snow much until right around Christmas and I have only had the XJ for a few months. I just wanted to share the few picturesI had of her!
I don't care about being this months ROTM. I'm voting for DrMOAB anyway!
Oh, and I used to be mormon...
Here's mine:

Hi! I have a 88 XJ that has something wrong with the headlights. They will not come on at all. I'm thinking I will have to replace the switch and then replace the harness. I also have a 96 XJ that probably could use a new light harness too. It is kind of weak output wise.
I have visited...
