Any good fabricator in the San Jose, CA area?
I was trying to call around for fabricators yesterday to see how much it would be get a bumper made, but most of them have shut down their business. I found one in Campbell called Arabia Fabrication, but he wants at least $1000 for a tube bumper. I explained the style as Tube, Wrap around with a receiver, just like all pros or marlins, but still $1000. I'd rather just get the marlin since it's $250 and shipping to my house is $16. Anyone have other experiences with fabricators in the South Bay?

I have got the Marlin on my '81 and love it. I know a few guys that work for metal shops and most of them say for the quality of the Marlin no one could come close if you have to pay them.
There is actually quite a bit of work that goes into them. Marlin, All Pro, Demello have got their jigs set up. If you go with Marlin keep in mind that you may need to trim you rear quarter panels. I ordered mine on a monday and had it by wednesday of the same week.

that looks really nice. I called marlin yesterday, but they won't have any in stock until friday or monday. i didn't know that trimming was necessary for the marlin bumper to fit. could you explain what needed to get trimmed?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have the marlin bumper on my 85 runner and so far ive got no problems with it, its very sturdy and looks great.. I didn't have to trim anything to get mine to fit. I'm assuming ocdropzone had to do some trimming because he has a trekker.
This is the best pic of it I have.
