Rock Slider Quest

RCI says 1-3 weeks on their site and All Pro might have them in stock according to above. Worth asking anyway.

If it turns out that no one can deliver then I may consider all options.

 

Let's face it. 99% of third gen owners don't need DOM sliders.

 

Not that I'm trying to sell you on all pro but they also have free shipping on armor right now. I don't know if applies to sliders though.

 

Here is some of the pictures of my AllPro Apex sliders. Shipping was fast and easy. Your UPS guy will hate you because they come bolted together and shrink wrapped to your front door(no pallets unless its long bed). And like someone else pointed out they are having free shipping right now. Dropped mine off locally to get powder coated and picked them up several days later. All the brands you have on your list are great brands. I got in on a group buy for mine and that's why I went with AllPro.

 

These... C4

 

Hot damn, that's a fine looking truck.

 

Already been taken care of. Same holes many bolt on sliders grab into.

Currently working on mine in my little free time.

 

OP if the time frame works for you these sliders are sweet. I have a set with 10 degree instead of 20. Kick out, fill plates, and powdercoated. Full bolt on, no drilling what so ever. Most of the other ones I have seen require at least some drilling thru the frame.

What he didn't mention is that thier powdercoat is one of the best I have ever seen. It's textured to be non slip and is not so rough that it destroys you clothes if you run against it. I use it as a step for my kids, and to run on rocks. I had Weldon sliders on my old rock crawler, added extra bracing and plates to it and beat the snot out of those things. No joke, I think the Mobtown sliders are beefier, and secured better to the truck than my old weld on set. More points of attachment and better load spread. You can check my thread for more info

 

another vote for the SOS concepts sliders, but I don't think you would get them in the time needed I believe mine took about 6-7 weeks.

 

Whatever is the most local to save money on shipping (if required), and whatever meets your time requirements.

Sliders are sliders. If one bolt on design fails over another, you have bigger issues than slider failure. Only thing I'd cherry pick on is what you want aesthetically, but your time frame may not work with the lead time of the fabricator you prefer.

 

Are your 2nd gen sliders angled upward? Or is that an option? They look flat on the website but it's kinda hard to tell on a celll phone.

 

All sliders angled up at 20

 

Not readily available but we tested many designs vs our designs and ours flexed the least out of all the designs that you don't drill. We took a lot of extra steps and added a lot more areas for bolting and clamping that added even more strength.

 

So no , you cant prove it its just word of mouth as of right now

 

I mean, the proof is compare how many attachment points and bolts are used on others vs ours as well as how they're attachment flanges are made vs ours. Doesn't take an engineering degree to prove it. Attachment plates with bends under the chassis and up the inside or going to provide a stronger design that a lasered flat plate...

Some sliders tubing whether it's the legs or the tube running parallel under the truck are round tube, we use square. Square is roughly 70% stronger when talking about moment of inertia. Some vendors offer DOM tubing as an upcharge, we do it as a standard. We've personally tested HREW vs DOM and saw the difference and weren't ok with it. DOM is far superior as far as dent resistance. Running the length of the sliders we use an appropriate number of legs from the attachment plates as well as on the outer hoop. They're spaced at certain dimensions to eliminate tube flex between them.

Not sure how much more "proof" you want but we've sold/shipped over 300 sets in just over two years and have seen first hand people beating the death out of them with no issues. I'd like to think we know what we are talking about coming from over 20 years combined mechanical/manufacturing/aerospace engineering.

 

@Mobtown Offroad does a ton for this community and helps out CONSTANTLY. Not the one you want to start picking a fight with for no reason.

OP, best of luck! Sliders are one of the most exciting mods. I have a great set of BAMF @JLee and will forever recommend them.

 

@JLee does a few things that others don't too with his design that are a major improvement. He clearly saw and understood the the same engineering challenges and fixed them.

 

He likes to talk shit on here im sure he can handle someone pulling his leg... he is a big boy no need to talk for him

 

Thanks. Narrowed it down to you or Pelfreybilt to replace my OLD Stubbs weld on's
