Welding question
« on: November 01, 2008, 05:59:33 PM »
So I'm going to be doing some welding on the the front bumper here shortly I was wondering if I could do the welding with it still attached to the rig or if I needed to remove it.

I'm basically unsure if welding on the rover will cause any electrical system damage.
