Default Chicago C-Gusset install shop?

Anyone around Chicago know a good shop to get a set of C-Gussets welded on? I really wish I could just do it myself but I do not know how to weld.

I have a buddy here in NW Indiana who could do it. I'm 45 minutes from Chicago. If you are on the East or Southeast side it would be far at all.

I need a bit of welding done also. Going to do gussets, CA skids and maybe do my rear TB bracket. Anyone up for this? I'd rather have a fellow Jeeper do it and help pad their mod funds than go to a shop and pay for someones overhead

My buddy would be up for it if you aren't to far from Valparaiso, Indiana. He has a sweet CJ and loves working on Jeeps.

Good deal. I am ordering C-gussets, front CA skids, EVO rock stars, and tube sleeves next week myself. Maybe we can both get ours done the same day. My buddy works during the week. Sundays are always a good day to have him do some welding.

I am open as well, just got to do it around the kids schedule...
I am hoping to get a sleeve set and C gussets soon as well, will most likely regear at the same time.
