I guess I grossly underestimated the time/rates for install. I thought product plus 50% for install.
Guess I got to sell more οοο.
I'm guessing most the shops near you are $100/hr and up. Better learn to turn a wrench and try not to break an arm. :cheesy:
I can turn wrench.....ha ha ha (A$$), but would never think about welding. There's some serious skill for that.
Just got a save a few more pennies. I financed the jeep, so not financing the mods. Thought I was there. So close.
You can do the skins yourself and I think its a 2 hour job for welding the sliders one. If I get off my arse and get to the garage more I could weld them on for you.
I'm thinking maybe do the skins myself? With the price they gave on the phone, it's more than 2 hrs for sliders. You weld? Seriously?
I may need to haggle/beg and just cough up to have them do sliders.
I taught myself to weld yeah. I can but need more practice.
I was told that it was around a 2 hour job for just welding on the sliders. I am sure if you grind away at the frame and get it cleaned up to weld everything it would save a little bit.
You can practice on yours and then do mine.![]()
I didn't really ask on ways to cut cost by doing leg work. Was more just getting ballpark. They're not too far from me. I may just cruise over and talk with them more in person.
I'm keeping you as option 1B.![]()
J. Plenty of people nearby who have welders and will be more than willing to hook you up. Start a thread about it. If They don't read it here I'm sure you'll get some help. I don't weld but I did install my EVO rocker skins and willing to help. My garage is always open buddy.
I may just take you up on the help. At least for the skins. Prob late Feb after the hand heals up.![]()

I run the EVO skins and love them. I beat the crap out of the panel under my door by kicking the mud off my boots after work. These fixed the problem. I plan on getting the EVO sliders this year just not sure at what point yet.
That's exactly how I'm going to roll for a while. I'm ordering the skins from Northridge likely tomorrow.
Then I'm coming over and were gonna get those suckers installed as soon as the hand is cast free and strengthened up a bit.![]()
