Show me your sliders?!?! PLEASE!!!

Thanks so much, brother! I appreciate it. Thanks for all you do to keep all of us healthy and upright. Know a few travel nurses. They love what they do but know how tough it can be. And while I’m paying you a compliment, can’t leave out how much I love your truck. Great stance and great setup!

 

Yeah, mine lead time is about 8 weeks, they must be slammed with tons of orders. Stimulus checks are perfect size for this kind of upgrades.
I'm going to install mine at home after picking up, did they have to jack up your truck to install? Or they just crawled under at stock height?

 

Brute Force Fab weld on sliders. The legs came with a slight angle, but I had them cut straight for nicer steps. BFF were very reasonably priced (probably cheapest I found).

 

Just crawled under it, you can see in the second picture. They did it a lot faster than I would have, lol. I don't think it's horribly difficult but they know exactly how it goes. Might want a second pair of hands for lifting them up in to position to get it started but he did it all solo.

 

Thank you brother! I’m looking forward to seeing how your sliders turn out. Be sure and post some pics, I know you’ll love them. Also try and get Westcott to throw in a t-shirt with your order, they’re pretty cool

 

Up here in Canada, not much options for sliders, unless you are willing to pay the highway robbery from UPS's Brokerage fees for popular manufactures in the states. bank on paying at least half the purchase price for the sliders on fees, let a lone shipping cost !!
Found a local artist that made custom off-road accessories
So glad I found him on YouTube, I ordered my classic non kick-out, weld on sliders, with double shear 1/4 plates and couldn't be happier with the fit and finish
Darren tacked on the plates and pulled out the inside calipers to measure distance base on the door opening. Passenger & driver, front seat to back
It was off a 1/4 inch, I said, good enough but his quality workmanship made him break the tacks to be equal
In my books thats perfection and I really appreciate the job well done
Thanks Balmer Fab

@Oatwillie was one of the last ones haha! But yes we are just to busy for installation, our main objective is to make and ship product right now!

 

4xInnovations weld-ons made in Wisconsin. $415 shipped. Domestic DOM tubing. Requires a little fab & layout. If you can run a wire feed and can read a tape measure, it's a fun little project. These things are stout as hell. I used Herculiner for the coating. Cheap and easy to touch-up

 

my rci sliders definitely saved me some headache/money. on a drive home from work last week i had a lady in a jeep pull into my lane and hit me while we were going 20ish mph. sliders saved me from everything but having to wipe a little rubber from her tire off!

 

Cali raised 25° bolt on. A pain to install but very happy with the results.

 

Cali raised 25deg w/ kick.

 

Victory 4x4 bolt on but two holes drilled into frame for torsional support if you need them to be more than looks.

 

Also deciding on which sliders to get for my new 21 TRD Off-Road DCSB. Lots to choose from, but I'm leaning towards the White Knuckle sliders. Thoughts on 'em?

 

I'm late to the party here, but I like my RCIs (the top plates are unnecessary but look really cool). I've had them on the truck for a few years, and they work as advertised! I'm not doing crazy rock crawling, but I've dragged them across a few rocks. I got the powder coat because I like the look of it, but when the bottom gets scratched I just clean it off and hit it with a cheap rattle-can of matte black paint. It's just going to get scratched again, right?

 

Hey, did you ever get and I stall the Wescott sliders. I'm about to pull the trigger and was wondering about the hole drilling. Any worries on warranty or structural issues?

 

Not directed at me, but snapped a couple pics just now of the mounting bolts. I’ve had the Wescotts for like 8 months or so. Not the best pics, but it’s kind of a difficult shot to take

 

Hey! I had a not-so great experience with Wescott’s sales manager and decided to go another way. Cancelled that order and went with the caliraised. Here’s the thing I have no doubt the Wescott is a better design and build. Just couldn’t stomach sending them money after our brief exchange.

 

EXPLORE-OVERLAND in Central NY state

15 degree, Robust, easy install.

Primed with Sherwin-Williams industrial primer , top coated with rattle can "wheel paint" from the FLAPS ;-)

Just finished undercoating with NH black goop! Ready for winter!
