Not all car battery welders are hillbillies, but these two were. They weren't trying to weld, they were doing shotty electrical fixes to a beat up truck that probably wouldn't pass tech inspection at any sanctioned event.Really?! Hillbillies?
Some welders and mechanics know that you can use long jumper cables to arc weld when necessary for a trail fix. Done it and seen it a few times and it got folks off the trail or home. Carry specific arc rods and long jumper cables rather than lots of spare parts.
My JKUR had twisted the front axle outer tube from the differential and fixed it with jumper cables and arc rods.
