Does anyone have a metal fab shop they trust in Portland, OR? I got a new winch bumper for my samurai and it needs some modifying. I'm going to run a 5500 lb UTV winch (the samurai weighs less than the 4-door ones) on it but the bumper is designed for a normal truck sized one, so the existing holes are in the wrong spot and the fairlead hole is too big. I also want to add some d-ring tabs, light tabs, and a way to attach the mounts for my tow bar. I can't weld, and my welder buddy unfortunately lost his shop space. Thanks in advance!

Nubworks is right over the border. Not sure how busy though.

It always irritates me when I see stuff like this. I'm in Phoenix and am too far away to help most of the folks here. If you were local I'd suggest that you come over; I'd do it for a pizza and teach you how to do basic welding yourself.

No offroad shops there? They install that stuff all the time and can likely make small alterations.

There's a couple, I just don't know which ones to trust.
