    Wondering if anyone local can help out. I just picked up a used ultilty/camping trailer and need some modification done to it. I was initially going to pick up a cheap welder at HF or something but don't want to F-up and since I need only a few things done, I not sure if it will be worth it. Here's what I would like done. Add 2 angle bar to make it an A frame and lower the fender about 3-4". Also, as I got this primary for my RTT and camping trips, I would like to add four 1.5" tube bars to each corner to support a rack and lift it to mount my tent. I'm in Milpitas area and/or Lathrop area. Im over my budget but can provide a reasonable fee for your help/service, beers and food. =). Here's what the 3'x5' trailer looks like. Thanks in advance!!

    Thx, pick it up for ~$800
    Thanks!

    Thx, I'll check him out, just don't want to be over charged.

    Thanks, Not in a big hurry, hopefully before our next family camping trip mid April but seems like I'm a bit out of the way for you.


    Considering what I paid, I don't want to spend more then 25% of the cost for parts and labor to make those changes. Is that reasonable and realistic?

    hey man, post up on Garage Journal also. Tons of fabricators and welders on there. I'm sure thousands are probably from Cali.

    $800 that's a steal if you only plan on doing those mods.
