Body Damage is Cool
Im talking for most 110 volt buzz boxes. Not decient tig, mig or stick machines. Its a problem iv run into alot with my 110v welder is i get a TON of resistance and my ground heats up hotter then F*** when its placed to close.

As for where i got my information im a welding fabrication engineer, these are the answers i got when i tryed to diagnose my problem with my machine with my teachers and some miller guys.

Just weld them on the frame with a scab plate, you'll be fine. My 4Runner sliders were welded on twice and that truck was / is rode hard, it's still straight. A few of the people I know personally have also welded their sliders to the frame with 110's and big boy machines and all is well.

I have no clue at all about a 110 machine, never used one myself.

And to be honest, I also welded my vertical scab plates to the frame. I also welded similarly on my wife's 97 4Runner. You'll be fine, but doing plates like <> couldn't hurt...
