The 5100s I put on my 4runner looked like shit after a year, I ended up taking them off and painting them. The zinc coating is useless against road salt. Figured if I go that route on the Taco I'll spray them with bedliner or something right out of the gate.

EDIT:
How silly is it for me to wait for a set of sliders to go up for sale on Kijiji? Guy from Windsor had a set for sale around Christmas but they didn't last long. Haven't seen anything since

 

Its for sale again

 

Something showed up at lunch while I was home letting the dogs out.



Little bit more for the rig

I think with kijiji wishes it just comes down to how long can you wait for them, along with how hard do you kijiji?

 

apparently not well, first hit

edit:

speaking of sliders, i checked 4wheel parts out real quick to see what they have
and what in in the world is this (site calls it; DV8 Offroad Boat Side Rock Sliders - SRTT1-01)? I'm still pretty new to "Off-Roading" *cough mall crawling cough* and i'm more attuned to that kijiji link to be your typical rock slider

 

Both of those are awesome in their own ways.


That kijiji ad is so great, dood has been bothered by kiijijijiji'ers so much he had to say it in the ad itself.

Then those boat side things?

 

Ya guys were dying to clear coat them. Who would think of that I’d its your first time buying shocks

 

Those aren’t a true boat side. Usually boat sides you cut the rockers out and gain a huge amount of clearance. Those are just styled the same way but without a kickout




Also those sliders from kijji don’t have any gussets are curvature on the frame like angle iron style bracket.

 

Cab Mount fill plates?

 

Yes sir!

 

It's cheaper to just buy and make . Plus then you aren't limited . If you cut too much etc.

What do you need cmc for though? Are you going bigger tires?

 

If you have the plates for a template. Then you should not cut to much. If you are doing it correctly, you cut to little and go from there. Of course its cheaper to make everything yourself. I cant, yet. So I bought em.


Do not really need them right now, happy with the 255's. Just going in to get my 886's installed shortly and figured I could get a few things done at once. I will want these in the future, might as well

 

That's a classic. I was just repeating that to a guy a work this week. He wanted to borrow my pencil and i said the same thing to him and he didn't know how to respond. Lol

 

The Kijiji sliders look alright but to me they aren't gusseted for support/strength. After a few hits they would eventually bend.
The boat sliders I have never seen. I kind of like the idea of plates underneath for a slider but it would have to be welded out of one single piece with no bolts.

 

If you have a grinder it's easy to make .

The problem is if that template isn't enough then it's no good. Like if you need to cut more to clear.

Unless you're going bigger no point in cutting .

 

I check a couple times a week, more often when I'm working. I'm not in a rush and its more tempting to pay TFS than drop $1500 on sliders shipped from the states but if a deal popped up on Kijiji, I may not be able to refuse.

Yah I offered that guy my PS3 but he wouldnt take it, not sure what his problem is....

Life and learn...never thought of cleared coated, might look better than gravel guard

 

lol so your the "one" that he sort of quoted in his kijiji ad

 

Trade ya my PS3 for your PS3

 

is yours the 80GB version of the the 60?

 

I am sure all these guys have paper and pens but the template for the splash guard is in high demand. Might not be as easy a grinder
