The perfect argument for sliders !!!

Don't let this happen to your Toy like I did mine . I did this yesterday at Corral Canyon in San Diego battling the absolute worse clay slip & slide shit I've ever encountered, we were sliding around so much going up a telephone pole access trail, it was like the Bronco peak connector without the boulders except for the one that re-engineered my body style. So get'em now or cry later.......

 

Ok, im getting my sliders painted and put on now, that sucks big time

 

FYI If you turn in an insurance claim don't volunteer the fact you where wheeling. Insurance companies don't owe when someone is off-roading and or racing..

 

Sliders are worth it...cause two trucks were damaged like this because mother nature was not good to us this weekend. I am saving...but with the suspension, it might take a while...but I will stay away from the mud for now.

 

If I had sliders, this rash and dents wouldnt be there.


Oh, my sliders are sitting in the living room. Waiting on my buddy to weld them up

 

ouch! glad I've got sliders!

 

wow damn.. sorry to here about the taco dude. def debating sliders on my truck now

 

Aww hell no , I wouldn't even file a claim for this , I figure

theres $ 1500-$2000 worth of damage maybe a little more but $500 deductable & besides I do sheetmetal for a living & I've got a guy that welds like Picasso fucking painted , make a template & pattern from the otherside & reverse it. cut out the bad shit (that would be the bottom cab area because of multiple layers of joining metal seams )& start knocking shit back together, the front of the bed can be pulled & rolled out pretty easy (single wall)......

 

...but they do investigate. Fraud carries a much larger penalty than the repair would cost.

 

if i had slider this prolly woulda still haappened

damn lawn mower


damn tree

 

yea but thats 1000-1500 you can put towards sliders and bumpers. And didnt picasso paint like crap??? lol like putting stuff where it didnt belong. all ugly and f'd up like? just kidding. michealangelo of welding

sorry just being a smartass

 

lol lawn mower?

 

yea

yard wheelin iz sriz bidniz

 

Doug, Sorry about your truck man. I read about your epic adventure at Corral Canyon. That was one heck of a day to be wheeling!

I know there are a lot of reputable sources for sliders. If you're interested I went with Stubbs Welding HD-SKO slider. And I have been a very happy customer. As a matter of fact, the sliders were my first true mod.

 

Pics? How much was shipping and what did it cost to weld?

 

No prob, my turn to be a smart ass, have you ever seen a Picasso ? If you have or if you do, look at the contrasting colors & shapes & the seams where they meet, they are linear & they are flawless just like my buddy's welding he specializes in stainless & Aluminum. Mig,Tig,Stick, Plasma & I do sheetmetal & the $$$$ I came up with is what a body shop would charge so why would I even bother with all that shit when I have the resources & the expertise to do it myself ???......

Besides that Michaelangelos a fruitcake

 

i had an s10 i smacked a tree with. did 2900 in damage. i went to the local body supplier and got capa hood and right fender and radiator support, and bumper. got a new grill and headlight from the junkyard. Parts cost me about 550 and i painted it myself ($100). (i paint)
insurance cut me a check for 2400 bucks and i fixed it for 650. the rest went into new cams, exhaust, and dyno tuning on the hayabusa

 

haha..i'm always preaching about sliders here..it really should be the first mod if you are planning on being on the trails...

i didnt have sliders on my first run ever in my new taco...bashed the whole passenger side from front to back..had to force the rear passenger door open and i ended up using a BFH and a small piece of a 2x4 to pound everything back in place..

you can see some of the damage in this pic, sliders were installed after the fact


consider getting a pair of sliders that incorperates a kick-out design such as the All Pro sliders..the kick-out come real handy in keeping the back half away from the rocks. also helps when cutting a sharp turn on the trail..you can actually use the kick-out to literally pivot your junk around

if i had a slider with the kick-outs at the time this damage wouldnt have happend!!



little side note...i have a pair of Demello Hybrid bolt-on sliders with all the hardware for sale for a DC shortbed..no dents, just need to be touched up. 300 bucks, local to SoCal only..paid 600 for em, i have the reciept to show haha

 

Yes.

I have posted pics in this thread here AND here

Shipping is in that same thread.

My neighbor is a master welder so I bought him some beer... And I paid him too cause that's how I roll.



Cheers!
