If you don't risk it with my novice welding skills, the guy I would suggest is Wes who owns One Off Customs in Morgan Hill. He's a good dude. He'll most likely charge you for an hour of his time which will run you $100.

Wes prefers taking on big projects but he does entertain smaller jobs like this when he has the time. If you're in the California Bay Area and need some welding, custom fabrication or a big project like a complete vehicle restoration or custom build, give Wes a call. (408) 802-3299

I'm in Morgan Hill, and thanks to Tim's recommendation, I've now used Wes a couple times, for sliders and for the PCK; with great results. As noted, he has very reasonable rates. I also did quite a bit a prep work beforehand which made for less shop time too...
Tim - congrats on scoring the 210 MVP! Got that unit last year, used it once and I'm so anxious to improve. At this point, I want to get more scrap metal to experiment with and make the time to watch the many educational videos... I had welded a couple times in my 20's, and never really got good at it, but I'm convinced it's a very desirable skill to have for what I wish to do on the 4Runner, its trailer and other automotive and house projects.
Tim & Sean - Will watch your video next, thanks!
