I have the Kiddo's this weekend. I will shoot you a PM sometime if it is OK. Maybe work something out when you are available.

Cheers,

@Timbo89 did a fantastic job on the install.

Oh, and I highly, highly, highly recommend painting them before they are installed. I didn't and it was a PITA to get good coverage all around when I did paint them. Crawling around on the ground trying to spray the nooks and crannies is a full on beeeeotch.

 

I work at Wesley Chapel (sales), but can get you w/ a good advisor and help you. I'm not sure if a place like "The Toy House" will do your prepaid services, but it won't hurt to check. We have a great place like that in Hernando (Spring Hill/Brooksville), called Toyo Doc and the owner Mike is Good People.

 

@Timbo89 welded mine on as well. Highly recommend, he can lay one hellofa bead lol

 

Stacking dimes

 

Haha, well, that didn't take as long as I thought it would, mainly because it's right there in the rear view mirror, but it took Mom two days to notice the Mall Rated sticker. She said she was gonna "kick my ass" when she saw it, but by the time she got home she had gotten over it. Only thing she did was this morning on the way to HD in the OGT, she bitched about it being orange.

Good advice. I painted mine before we welded them in. It's a lot easier to grind off the paint in the areas to be welded and then touch it up afterward than it is to paint the whole slider once it's on the truck. In fact, we tacked the struts and base plates in place and then cut the base plate tacks to take them out and fully weld them. Before putting them back on, I painted the struts and base plates (taping off the edges of the plates where they would be welded) and then we welded them to the frame of the truck. All I needed to do was paint the welds and where we had ground the paint off the frame.

 

@NABeast I'm sorry bud but I completely forgot about that being this weekend i won't be able to make it out

 

Its all good man. @Jon4x4 @kaijac03 you guys want to go to citrus on Sunday?

 

Almost bought from you guys but just couldn't make the deal. Good prices though on oil change I went at 5k for an oil change and the tech was so confused.

 

When’s the next Tacoma meet? Any chance we can do lazy springs?! Just went last weekend and had a fucking blast! Note to self: no mud over the hood. Radiator doesn’t like it .

 

I am a maybe for Saturday. wont be able to do Sunday.

 

Where did you get these sliders from?

 

he got them used from someone local, I forget what brand they are though

 

Believe they are trail gear

 

Ill do Saturday. Im open.

 

Ok, thanks. I am looking for some sliders without a kick-out, some good mounting and support, and able to get locally (don't want to spend too much for shipping.)

 

@allenfab

 

I may be going mountain biking on Saturday, but if that does not work out, I'm down for Citrus.

 

Soon there will be 2 people making them.

Order needs to ship already hahah

 

Yes, they are Trail Gear that I got from a guy in Jacksonville.
