Where can I find a welding rig? I’ve searched everywhere!  
Do I have to craft it? If so, what are the requirements?

Also, what does it do? Just allow you to draw off the house batteries?

Attach it to a car’s battery and you can use it as a hacksaw, wrench and welder.

No soldering iron? Also, can you mod the vehicle with it’s own welding rig?

I know!

You a 5 in mechanics and a 4 in fabrication… I think. its only craftable.

There’s quite a few things in the recipe of the welding rig, so wait until you can craft it to look at the list. Also, WIKI.

The wiki says nothing and I don’t think skills in fabrication and mechanics would be an issue, since they’re up at 8 and 10.

If you install this Welding rig on Solar-Powered Vehicle, You can use Welder almost Infinite.  
Fixing car, Making items is now Battery-free. but it cannot use for fixing items.

This is true. It’s the best vehicle part ever!  
I found one in a garage and allows my electric car to self repair and to work as a building vehicle.

That’s the awesomeness about welding rigs. You can for instance build a Searchlight using the nearby welding rig from your car (Frame with controls + Frame with Headlight) and just drag it where you want it and turn it on. John’s dragable welding rig is another example of a static vehicle. :3

Mine’s part electric car, though. I use it for installing car engines on intact cars in town and then hauling them back to Outer Heaven.

It has a large electric motor, so it actually moves pretty damn fast; a safe speed of 190 MPH. And for all intents and purposes, it’s an ATV Forklift with a welding rig on it.

Put a trunk to it and it becomes the ultimate car fixer.

And fill the trunk with steel frames and shit.
