    So I am about to purchase some sliders and realized....I cant weld!

    Yes, I know there are bolt on's......for damn near $800 delivered! HA!

    Any Arizona Tacoma guys out there recommend a good 4x4 shop in the Phoenix area (West to Eastside, I live in Phoennix, work in Gilbert) that can weld some sliders on? Chaps my hide that I live in one of the best off road states in the Country.......and where the hell are all the badass 4x4 shops???? Anyone have some good shops.....talk to me....

    Disclaimer: and for the love of god, please no one say SDHQ.....lame

    Thanks in advance for the assistance! Its time to get armored!

    AZ is a pretty general location. I have no clue since I'm not in AZ but this might get more attention from local members in a local AZ thread.

    Why don’t you just find a fabrication shop? Why does it have to be a 4x4 shop?

    @Carter'sTaco might want to edit your thread title and remove the bold help and rephrase it to looking for suggestions.

    Anything with HELP in it is usually reserved for emergency recoveries and threatening matters .

    Just a friendly note.

    True that! I guess I was thinking I wanted a shop that had experience in setting up and welding sliders....I guess a fab shop would be just as advantageous!

    Thanks bro, good looking out!

    IMO you would proobably find a better welder at a fab shop than a 4x4 shop.
    They might actually enjoy welding on someone else’s new truck. Haha.

    Did you buy the sliders from Avid or just having them install? Just stumbled on his website and his price for sliders is way better than the online outlets. Would love to see some pics of the Avid sliders installed.
