Default Looking for an experienced welder in SoCal

Hey guys,

I'm relatively new to the area and am looking for an experienced welder or 4x4 shop with reasonable prices.

I'm in need of some welding work on my jk, I need my new rear track bar bracket welded to the axle side and my frame side reinforced as it will be compromised when I cut the teraflex bracket off of it.

I am also looking to have either an artec truss upfront or sleeves welded in. I have evo c-gussets already that I need welded in as well. I live in Anaheim and can drive wherever needed.

Any recommendations are appreciated, hope to wheel with you guys soon!

Get a hold of Travis @ Brut4orce. He is on the forum and does some exceptional work. He lives in Oceanside.

Well, that's why I'm looking around... I was going to go to Travis as I found him via craigslist, but I've seen too many threads with brut4ce having welds break, axles bent from trussing and him not delivering on goods already purchased. I'm too concerned regarding all that I've read...

Yeah. You want to stay away from Travis at brut4ce. He burned me really bad and has never made an attempt to make things right. I am talking a few grand here. He is also not on this forum anymore. So what you want. But beware.

Sick JK, yeah I dread the day I have to leave mine for someone else to work on it. I went out and bought a Lincoln Welder from the local store tempting to weld on my own c gussets (EVO's). Lucky for me a friend said, "Lets see what that 110V. welder can do?" LOL, he wasn't impressed, so he brought his out. What I'm saying is pick up a welder and do it for the price someone else is going to charge you.

PS: Yeah the 110 V. will work, but takes a little more time.
