    I have no fab tools. It would take me forever to try and cut, bend, and measure a set.

    It's the fun and adventuring of doing it yourself that makes it worth it. Only thing you need is a torch a vise and a drill could get it done

    :thumbsup: Appreciate it Greg. I'll letcha know. Looks like I'm going to try this company out. Mike knows the guy and told me he's been crazy busy lately which explains the delay in getting back to me. Truth be told I'm just anxious and may not have given him enough time to reply :anonymous:

    Haha this is true, and I enjoy working on my truck, just don't have the resources to make a set until I have a garage.

    Awesome. Same with my guy. He's swamped as he's doing work for the Baja 500 and 1k guys, the mint guys, KOH guys, etc. He can pinch things out for me if needed but if needed I can get him to fab you some brackets in an hour. Let me know if your guy falls through.

    Jason Carlin of Carlin Fabrication in Redlands. He's legit. He also NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS welders. No weekend welders throwing snot at metal, but people that drop dimes. If you know anyone let me know. Posion Spyder send him their outside work when they're backed up. Talking good dough.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Buy a harbor freight welder for $120 and get to sticking hard shit to other hard shit.

    Won't learn until you pull a trigger. :D

    Melting metal together is easy. Dropping beads and using an old English tool to bend is the business. Amongst other things.

    Hey Greg, the guy that makes those brackets doesn't do fab work anymore and they don't use the existing holes Toyota made for the factory roof racks. If your fab guy can make a set I'm definitely interested.

    Could probably buy the off the shelf one and weld a plate to it to adapt to your bolt pattern.

    Though a custom one could be better so it doesn't vibrate off road
