Added Sliders

Mobtown Offroad Rock sliders!!! I love them.

Edit: Sorry. I thought I posted this on the "What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?" thread.

 

Bolt or weld on, looks sweet either way

 

Congrats! Loving the red/black combo with the truck...I also just finished installing my Mobtown sliders today on my 2nd gen and couldn't be happier.

 

Very nice!

 

Bolt on. Took me a good 5 hours! Took my time though since it was my first time installing sliders.

 

It was sunny so I fried my legs today buy it was worth it. LoL

Oh and that flat washer with the welded bolt and long handle is a pain to get it in there on the driver's side. Spent an hour just on that! My wife had to help me!

 

How much do they weigh and do you have any pix of the frame?
I'd like to get some and can't decide on which ones to get.
I had home made welded ones on my old pathfinder that worked great.

How'd you do that black inset on the hood?

 

Their site says 140 pounds but that must be for the pair. I can take some photos of the frame tomorrow for you.

 

LOL ohh yeah I definitely didn't follow the directions and forgot to put that flat washer w/ welded bolt in before working on the rest of the bolts and essentially had to restart once I realized my stupidity...

Cool, thanks for all that!
Truck looks great!

 

Truck is looking good.

 

your truck looks badass! love those sliders... they look the perfect angle too- what is that angle? 10%?14.5?

tires and wheels look perfect

 

Thanks. 20* on the sliders

 

what tires are those? winter rated? they look like 285- is that right?

 

Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Yeah 285/70/17. Not sure about winter rating .

 

I know this is a dumb question but I am relatively new to this but what are the differences between a 0 degree and a 20degree rock slider? Where is the angle at?

 

The angle is how much of an angle the tubes are pitched up compared to the side of the frame - the higher the angle, the closer to the rocker panels the tubes will be, and the less step-friendly the slider becomes, but it also raises slider clearance for rocks at the same time, and lowers door and shopping cart protection.
5-degrees makes for a good step while allowing for a bit more clearance and side protection.

 

Just curious, as I am shopping sliders, how far do these measure from the frame, to the furthest points on both the main body section, and the kick out section also?

And... at 20 degrees, where does that put the top of the tube,... lets say from the bottom of the driver's door bottom? I'm guessing most trucks sit different, due to varying loads and equipment weights, but think the relationship from bottom of door would remain pretty much constant.

Your rig looks fantastic, by the way!!

 

Thx. I will get some measurements for you this afternoon.
