Anyone recommend someone in SoCal (prefereably around the Ventura LA counties line) who can do fab work. I pretty much destroyed a trailing arm mount and need it either bent back and strengthened or cut off and a new one made up.

Thanks

I'm sure you already know that people will recommend you to Demello - though I've heard some people complain that he's not quite as fast with turnaround as he used to. I don't know from personal experience though. Maybe you should email?

BUMP to this question too, I'd like to know if there's anyone other than Demello around.

If you get a chance, bring it by my place, I'll take a look at it.......

Post up when you address this.. Mine are taking a beating also.

BruceTS

I've already gone thru this with Lance on is rig, and the 3rd gens aren't much different. They just take a beating when hit against the rocks, htere are 2 options, one is to cut off the old mounts and install new ones or just gusset the stock mounts.

Any pics you can post of gusseted stock mounts Bruce?

How much would he charge for sliders, do you know?

funrunner91

just give them a call dude, it's totally cool.....most likely like 60 or 80 bucks, or just depends on the work that goes into it......mine were from marlin crawler and took a while becasue i have a 2nd gen and the frame bends inward, plus the sliders had to be welded together, their work is good....they were the 1st iron work's in long beach

I think I spent $100 but they did a lot of work to weld on the sliders. First, they cleaned up the frame and scraped (not sure of the term) the frame to bare metal before welding. My buddy that knows much more about welding than myself was very impressed w/ Demello's work (if this means anything to you).

Tacoma Dude

Awesome, you have a PM

Tacoma Dude

Wait, huh?
Are you talking about this Nick guy or are you talking about Demello? For the actual welding on frame, not the sliders.

ebelen1

Talking about Demello and for welding on the frame...

tacoma dude, i'm just sent you an email. give them a call and if you want custom stuff, just make a diagram with correct mesurements and your set...ya it's not an autoshop, they do iron fences and gates and stuff, but i'm a yotatech freak and always working on my rig there. they will be more than welcome to hook up another yota
