Struggling to find a shop that will weld my TG sliders. What type of shop did some of you go to? The places I've contacted either don't have a lift or just can't do it. There is a Off Road Custom shop right around the corner from me that would definitely do it, but they are really over the top expensive and they don't have the best reputation around town. If someone can suggest a shop in the Northern Va, DC, Md area or let me know what type of shop you went to to get them welded I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

 

Go to a muffler shop.

 

dont have a lift? sounds like they was just to lazy to do it. i went to a offroad shop. cost me $100 to get my TGs welded on.

 

To bad your not closer. I would be glad to do it.

You don`t have any friends that can weld??

 

scuba's muffler shop is a good idea. It doesn't take much to weld those things on. Just someone that can lay decent bead.

My train of thought would be......."Oooo..another reason to buy a MIG!!"

 

Well, I don't own a muffler shop

 

Correction: "scuba's muffler shop IDEA is a good idea"

Too much coffee.......

 

Find a tech school in your area that offers a AWS certification (certified welders) and see if you can take it to them and have them do it on the cheap!

 

Thanks for the responses! I have an appointment tomorrow with a muffler shop. Hopefully, I can get these on.

One of the shops that couldn't do it suggested this too. Thanks!

Thanks anyway. Nah...no friends that weld. I need more friends!

That's what I was thinking when they said they couldn't do it. Thanks for giving me a price range. I was thinking around $100 for the job.

 

The muffler shop I went to this morning couldn't do it. They really didn't know how to anyway. Even though I brought illustrations/instructions. This is frustrating. I'll have to try other shops.

 

2nd that

 

go on kijiji and look for a welder that does sidejobs...

i ended up getting mine done thru a guy that does welding for a living so it was perfect.. knew what he was doing and didnt cost much because hes in our local 4x4 club..

 

You can also look on CL under "Services"

 

Just cause someone can weld doesn't mean they will have a clue how to install sliders properly. Find an offroad shop or a local welder who wheels to do it for you. Getting it done for free is useless if it's wrong.
