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.

The inspector he recommended is known throughout the Villages. DeAngelo is one of the best in the area, licensed, insured, and they spend a pretty fair chunk on advertising all over the place. They're not unknown or some random Joe Contractor (I wouldn't hire one of those either).
