    looking for some reccos for a welder near Kelowna that is willing to take on some frame patching/repair. Pic attached is the work required, a perforation just behind the trans cross-member/next to the cat.

    I'm planning to strip/wire wheel/sand and internal coat/paint the frame anyway as part of an effort to get some more solid years out of it, so could prep the area for a welder, I just need someone to patch this section up for me. Hopefully the location isn't too annoying along the edge.

    This is the only spot I've got crumbling. I was pretty good with the Krown while I was living in Ontario, just lapsed for a year since moving out here and spent some time under the truck lately, other than plenty of patches of surface rust/the hitch mount plates the frame hammers ok and this is really the worst spot. Hopefully this isn't too horrific and I can get another 5 good years out of this truck.

    There's a guy in Lumby that does great work -- I'll find his contact information.
