I dunno, there are a lot of retired folks that were in construction or are engineers.

I certainly wouldn't use random Joe contractor just because someone on TOTV suggested it.

As was suggested above collar ties connecting both rafters to the king post with 3/8th or bigger carriage bolts would be sufficient. If you used 2x6s you would surpass the load bearing capacity of the original 2x4 web in the truss.
