Welding help?
Well, my buddy who was going to weld my sliders on just recently had a baby and doesnt have the time anymore, so I am searching for someone who would be willing to help me out. Is there anyone in the area within a decent driving distance that would be willing to help? Im located in Alameda in the Bay area. Thanks everyone.

I went with Stubbs sliders. They look great, and Mr. Stubbs is a great guy as well. I will let you know, maybe I will try and get in touch with RB.

I contacted RB, he said he could do it, but he couldn't give me an exact figure on cost until he took a look at it. Im thinkin I might end up going through a friend of a friend type thing. I dont know for sure yet really. Do you know what you plan on doing yet?

i am still waiting on the sliders to get here, they SHOULD be here any day now. i contacted a local 4wd shop and they said they could do it for ~$40-$50 per side... but i dunno if i want to pay 100 bucks to get them installed. i am going to make some other calls today and see what other quotes i can get.

nevermind..... i just opened the package and put the sldiers up to my truck to see how it would look and they arnt the right ones. they are for a 3rd gen. I called Jason at Demello-offroad and he said that he doesnt usually do stuff for 2nd gen 4runners but he would do custom ones for me... so i guess i dont need to get a welder for a while.

Oh man, that sucks! I really hate when people send me the wrong part, its really annoying!!
Im telling you, look at Richard Stubbs, he does really good work and is a really nice guy. And we need to start supporting the little man, or else they will go out of business.
