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.

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

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.
