Welder recommendations

[deesiexj]

Hey guys, I just moved back to Portland after a year in NC, and need a little help. I got my old 2-door back from my brother while I was there, and it needs some rust repair. I've got some rot in the rockers that I want to cut out and replace with 2x6, and I'd like to add a set of stiffeners. Problem is, I don't have the skills or equipment to take either project on.

Can anyone offer recommendations of a reasonable shop that can weld that in for me? Or any members want to earn some dollars and beers for your trouble?

Chris sines at JeepWest. In Oregon city if you don’t want to travel

I’ve personally used Pat at Those guys rod and customs in Bremerton Washington. But that’s 200 miles north

Great, thanks Scott. I'm actually living in Oregon City, so JeepWest would be perfect. I'll get in touch with them and get the ball rolling

I tried to get a price from Jeep West fir installing my kid stiffeners and never heard back from either one of those guys. Kurtis Haney is local to OC and picks up a lot of side work too. We are currently working on the stiffeners and the 2x6 rocker replacements now.

MJmanche, I'm not sure who Kurtis Haney is...forum member? Or fabricator? I'm open to options, I swung by JeepWest on Saturday and wasn't totally sold.

I might just be being picky, but there wasn't anyone there who could answer my questions and I just got directed to their Facebook page to contact someone who could help me. I'm pretty put off by businesses that only have a Facebook page as their presence, it feels pretty unprofessional to me. I'm ready to be proven wrong, but it wasn't a great first impression

Kurtis isn't a forum member, he is in Facebook though with 4xnation.

He is a fabricator.
