PM in route

 

Anyone know of any Salida or as far as Colorado Springs fab shops doing sliders for 2nd gens? I’d love to get some localish if possible. Or anybody selling some? I know there is RCI in Loveland but that’s a bit of a drive.

 

hefty?

 

I looked it over.
I didn't like they way it looked honestly.
It looks OK when the extender is installed.
But I do not like the way it looks when it's not installed. It doesn't look factory at all IMO.
Edit: Oh, and I wouldn't be able to use it for what I did most.
Flipped in the bed to hold a tote close.
After cutting 2" out of the arms, it won't hold what I need it to hold anymore.
I had to choose one or the other. I chose the bed stiffeners. I have a shell and wanted the bed stiffeners. I can always use a cargo bar.

 

Thanks for the lead. Any experience with the them? They are awfully proud of them at $1000

 

My RCIs were $950 with top plate...

they build stuff to last, my buddy has their bumper on his runner, which i installed, that thing is beef

 

Good to hear. Bumper is next on the list

Use to work there (sales/marketing). They make some really good products and don't skimp when it comes to their welding employees. Lead times can get a little iffy some times.

 

How do they feel about making some adjustments? At least what I see online I’m looking for something slightly different.

 

Everything is cnc bent, cut, and built using jigs. I doubt they steer too far away from that. I haven't really kept up with them though, so they may have the man power now to do more "custom touches". Might be worth a call to them. The worse they say is no, and you go on your way!

 

@Triggerhappy might know a shop

 

This guy is in golden but he is cool.

Figured I would throw it out there.

 

yep good dude. no him personally.

 

Anybody working on lift strut stuff?

Mix of 10mm and 13mm lift strut stuff

$10

Exhaust wrap - new

$10

 

Yeah custom stuff is not cheap. Those sliders just weren’t quite what I was looking for. But if they could make some tweaks I’d like to do business local.

 

Those look legit

 

What struts did you use for these? I'd do redline but I can't justify 100+ for struts.

 

Square corners? Could you clarify?

 

So no plate, just go straight to the frame with the bar?

 

Weld on sliders that sit close to the rocker panel a kick out and no top panel
