Ed Westerbeck is a good guy! He works out of his home (don't let that fool you..he has a great set up). He put on my rocksliders on for me.

Richard Stubbs found him for me and I can't say enough what a great guy he is.
Here is his email and his website ( Don't be fooled by the jeep..he took it apart and is parting it out. He said his next project is an FJ40

He is in Dallas
Well, I straight out offered him $70 because I was going off the prices I was quoted here in Abilene ( Some quoted me $230-others $150) So I thought It was a great deal... I hear a lot of people paying less and if money is a problem, I think he would work with you..
Email him ( and tell him the guy with the 2001 4runner sent you) and ask him what he would charge you.

Thank you very much!! I will contact him then!!

You might give Mike Short a call, he is an excellent welder/machinist.

Jason Demello and Richard Stubb make excellent sliders. You might wanna check with them. May be we can do some run when you get back

I'm leaning towards the Stubbs deluxe sliders. The wife has finals the next two weeks so I might order them so she can get them put on when she is done. I think her dad knows someone who can do the welding cheap. Sometimes it's good to marry a Preachers daughter.
