    I do have a tube it's only like 100lbs.
    But the sides tend to suck up small trees so you have to be careful when it's tight.
    I'm up to like 3 trees I've wedged between the body and bumper and every time I'm like what am I hung up on?
    :anonymous:
    Don't get me wrong though it works great it just has that flaw to it.
    And personally I like the tube look.

    I'll have to look around if and when the time comes. I am just planning a suspension around not adding 350lbs front/rear steel bumpers.

    Years ago it was common to run up and back to avoid the water crossing. The first ledge wasn’t as bad as it is now the last time I went down it.

    You’ve been on the thread with JDUB right? If he decides not not make sliders I’m going to eventually order a set of cheap-o trail gear sliders off eBay. We can have a frame drilling party.

    If you're not on the Northeast Craigslist Find thread, get on there! I managed to find mine on the For Sale section. Had to go to Jersey unfortunately though...

    Either way you are modifying the frame and a dealer can chose to be a dickhead about it. But legally they can’t refuse to fix the radio under warranty unless they can prove a dozen holes in the frame caused it. I have 175k on my truck, I’m long out of warranty service aside from the frame recall. If it ever rusts out I can pull bolt on sliders off in 15 minutes and put them back on.

    Just a heads up sliders with kickouts save your rear panels...
    Not to mention it's a nice step for getting in the bed.

    Im sure they can screw me on it. But id do my best to put the onus on them and prove the modification caused the frame failure.

    I hope I never have to deal with a frame replacement due to rot. Spent alot of time on the frame scraping rust; using converter, top coating. Going to start a fluid film regiment this year (idk why I havent yet.. durp).

    There are downsides to bolt on too. Hit them hard enough to tweak , you might never get them back on if you ever pull them off. The biggest reason I went with weld on is because they could ship weld ons via ups (cheap). The bolt ons had a big ass mounting bracket that requires freight shipping due to size/weight. That shit aint cheap from NV.
