    I moved to Bellevue last September.

    I need help welding some light tabs on All Pro front and rear bumpers, as well as weld some rock sliders to my frame.

    The light tabs might be a little tricky because my lights have 10mm bolts.

    I have someone ready for the powder coating; however, I am having difficulty finding someone to do the fabrication work.

    Can anyone here point me in the right direction? Or would any of you with fabrication skills be willing to help me?

    Thanks, bud.

    I am getting a quote later this morning actually.

    If I don't like their services and-or quote then I will hit you up.

    My truck is still a work in progress. I still have OEM open differentials so joining a club is a little tough at the moment. Those are excellent ideas, though. My challenge was not finding people to call; it was finding anyone with the time or willingness to complete this project.

    I installed the light tabs yesterday. I met someone at a show in Lynwood willing to help. Thanks, everyone.
