Default Custom fabwork for local guys

I have been collecting items at my new house as ive been building my new jeep. i have done work on a few buddies rigs and my own jeeps.

once i get my welder up and going i will be trying to do some side work for local guys. i can do most custom fabwork out of my garage with the tools i have. as i get more side work i will be buying more equipment to broaden my abilities.

as of now i have equipment to do any sort of welding, tube work, bumpers, etc.

this is just a heads up. in another month or so i should be set up and ready to start work for people.

PM me and let me know if you need anything done and i will see what i can do

Located in Bonney Lake. Near Tacoma for those who dont know where that is

You can text me too at 253-334-5163

Do you have materials on hand? I've really been wanting a swing out tire carrier / rear bumper. IF / When you get time... Maybe you could give me a quote?

Could you make me some front tube fenders like these. I'd even be willing to drive down and help.

Hey buddy, I want a full interior cage put in my new XJ, eight point. Just kidding...lol. I'd really like to do it but I can't even afford the tubing let alone to pay you to build it for me right now. Definitely sounds like a good business for you to get into, though. You can do some pretty amazing work!!

got two potential projects i"d love to get rough quotes on..

1. roof basket.. ideally damn near the size of roof itself. 1x1 square tube (or 1 round) with 6" tall sides and a base covered in expanded metal of some sort. will need to be pretty solid as i"m looking to toss a tent up there for camping trips. bonus if we can come up with some type of slim ladder to get up there on the rear driver's side

2. interior rack.. basically a smaller basket like above, but inside the back of the jeep. would want it on legs so i could slide coolers and recovery stuff under it.

for the roof basket, i figure rain gutter mounts would be the strongest? would probably need at least 6 of them due to size of the basket.

the ladder part might be a bit trickier, but i figure once i have the basket up it'd be easier to spitball ideas

Mount it like mine will make it stronger yet.

i like it! something like that, but with sides and a mesh bottom would be perfect.. i have the factory rack on there now, so the mounting spots are good i guess?
