Quick question...

If I am MIG welding on the vehicle body am I ok to just disconnect the battery?

Don't want to fry anything electronic.

This is actually for my TJ, I am fabbing a rear bumper and need to tack the bumper to custom mounts I am making while on the vehicle for alignment.

Thanks!

just disconnect the negative battery terminal and you will be fine. I've done it many times myself.

If you weld on the "frame " part next to the floor boards be careful, the main wiring harness runs througth the upper part on the channel.

Wrong location for this question. Should be in the General section. This section is for people with Fab ideas. Just FYI
