Whats the best method,  mig, stick, type of rod to use? 

I have used 7018.  You might want  to vist your local welding supplier and 
see what they suggest.  I have seen  "rebar" used and was surprised how well it 
looked and worked.  Very time  comsuming I supect.

There may be other issues with loosing bolts.   If they become loose they 
will break.  There are special bolts made to  attach grousers.  I don't know what 
grade they are but do know that fit and  bolt type are important.

When I put new grousers on, it was necessary to  remove all the paint that 
was on the contact surface with the rails or there  wouldn't be a tight fit and 
they would become loose and break the  bolts.
