DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

well i just found that page was misleading. I clicked on details to see if they said they were stainless and found they wanted more money...

 

This one is nice... i like the lock release on the front. which ever you decide just make sure it can lock in and out.

In order to keep it low, I was thinking two pieces of painted angle iron (or stainless) sandwiching the slide, a reinforced aluminum sheet platform, and aluminum angle stock for sides

 

550 lb. weight class with 330 lb. static weight allowance?

 

yeah not sure what is up with that. I mean the slides in the first post are expensive but still half the cost of a bed slide, plus the rest of the materials needed i would say you could get one built for about 65-80% just buying a bed slide.

 

Ive been tempted to order one of the chinese bed slides just to see how big of a pile it is. Lol. Only problem is that pesky 30 piece min order requirement.

 

Do you have 30 friends with trucks?

 

Not that are willing to end up with a POS bedslide.

 

The staff at 6 flags works hard to ensure your safety!

 

Thats about how hard im working. Work took us out to dinner last night and im still steak drunk.

 

When are we doing this pinch weld hammer fest? I’m tired of running already.

 

Just got all my chit ordered yesterday, probably attempt it as the same time as the leaf swap and tire rotation

 

What’s needed?!?

I was literally going to hammer the fuck out of it...

 

Hey guys. Has anyone been to Crossbar Ranch in OK? Thinking of going next weekend.

 

I literally just bought a jack and stands, so there was that. If I’m going to put in effort, I’d rather do it all at once.

 

as a tip i would cut the pinch weld into smaller sections that way you dont have some much to bend at once... picked that up from Pablo at Tandem

 

Never been but have been meaning to camp out there, what dates?

 

I was thinking of heading out there next weekend but didn't know if it was good. My brother in law said that it looks pretty flat, so I was hoping to find someone with some insights.

 

Ahh, I got that, and a compressor if need be. And beer. And bourbon. And cigars. And tacos.

 

Anyone need a cheap lift?
