Looks great if you want them just for cosmetics or a step.
I wouldnt trust them to take a hit and protect your truck

 

That's what I'm hearing. Apparently I have to drill, so I'll let one of ya'll take this deal.

 

"deal"

 

Have to drill, and they only have 2 legs to the frame. Not going to survive any substantial hit. I build mine with 4 legs to the frame and weld on only for people.

 

1/4 or 3/16 frame plates and gussets?

 

3/16 frame plates and 0.120 wall dom tubing. Although my personal ones are 1/4” everything just to be overkill lol

 

Can attest, the ones he builds are strong AF.

And those homemade 'sliders' are total garbage. Glad you decided to ask and not just rush out and buy.

You and a friend could simply pull up on them and bend them at the frame.

Just looked again, scratch the friend part. You could do it by yourself.

 

Agree for a "step" maybe, not for taking hits. Looks like the square tube wall looks 1/16 gauge by the corner shape, hard to tell with the round. The "mount" plates are only 1/8"weak and only two needs four.
Hard Pass

 

Ryan, when I get my work truck back, I'd like to have you build a set for my truck. I could drop it off at your place as it's a secondary vehicle for me.

 

Juan can probably knock out some sliders for Phx locals.

 

Juan is hard to get ahold of as he doesn't TW anymore. I haven't even seen him on the INsta. I was shocked to see him a few months back at the whiskey barrel or whatever that place was called.

 

Yeah, we've all gotten busy with life it seems. We keep in touch and hang out often though. He still does side work here and there. sliders, bumpers, etc.

 

I feel like we need to get a shop day scheduled lol

 

I need to get a 220 outlet installed at my house so I can burn some 1/4”. I pop the breaker every time I start my arc

 

I used to be able to help. If you wanna do the work, I can assist or advise. Still recovering from back surgery, though, so no physical labor for me.

 

You had back surgery?! Damn man. Hope you have a speedy recovery

 

I feel great. I just don't have any strength. I'm not allowed to twist or lift at the moment. PT three times a week, but I'm not taking any pain pills. I'm actually sleeping at night too. Been married for 15 years, and the Mrs. said I started snoring after my surgery. That's been the only side-effect, but it doesn't bother me.

 

That is all great to hear. I didnt take any pain pills either. Are you usually a side sleeper and now you are sleeping on your back? I only ask cause thats when I snore and my wife too. Only if we are on our back not sides.

 

What I understand is it doesn't matter. She nudges me and I move. Then start right back up.

 

sucks to be her
