rock slider help

im looking into some rock sliders and would like some help

i do light off roading and the other weekend my friend but a pretty gnarly dent in the bottom of his door from a rock, so that made me want to invest in some sliders

what i need help with is,

which are the cheapest/most effective/ easiest to install

bolt on preferable but may consider welding

bolt on for convinience since i dont do heavy offroad

Thanks in advance

 

I bought some all pros not shure if there weld-on or bolt on. Havnt seen them yet they where around 700 shipped.

 

4x innovations for bout $300 shipped. Can't be em!

 

notice you are in cali, look at KRfab in the vendor section.

 

I did the weld on 4xinnovations but if you're not handy in a shop you may want to consider something else. Mine didn't seem to go on without some custom modifications.

 

Check out BruteForce fab out of Fresno. Billy is an awesome fabricator and his prices won't rape the wallet

weld em'

 

Shrockworks
These are solid, well built and are bolt-on. They aren't cheap but are worth the money.

700 for slideres seems a little expensive??

Are there any advantages? I honestly wouldn pay above 500 before shipping for some metal

 

Do not pay more than $500 shipped for sliders. Especially when there are so many great ones out there, for some much less money.

 

X2 i got mine for under 300 shipped, but you have to weld.

 

actually the price is not that bad. I ordered a set a few weeks ago and i paid $479. these sliders come powder coated. most the ones you see here in TW ships bare metal. I didn't pay any shipping cost since i'm local, i will pick them up. It does take about 8 weeks from beginning to end, but you are right they are very solid and the powder coat looks awesome. can't wait to pick mine up.

 

Oh I love mine. They are more expensive then others I have seen but are solid. I wouldn't want another slider. My dad is a retired welder and he said these Shrockworks are well made.

 

I was new too the offroading world when I bought these and did not know about all these other sliders if I could do it again I would go another route.

 

well thats why im on here asking first... but i am not new to the offroading world, just tacomas...

still anything over 500 seems like im being raped for money, all the tubes and bars and bending would only cost about $60 then the rest is labor an making it the right way... most deffinantly not 600 dollars of labor

EDIT:
ohhhhhh i see what your saying disregard this post

 

Avid-Off Road

$330+shipping, but they give Tacoma world guys a 20% discount, so it's more like $260+shipping. They have a solid track record on TW, and bust their asses for us. Check 'em out.

any one wanna just give me these damn things for free haha

i hate forums, they make me wanna do everything to my truck all at once!

 

Sliders are definitely the way to go. My sliders saved me from a lot of damage this weekend when we inadvertently ended up on a very technical trail. I'm running bolt on Demello sliders and they're awesome. After sliding my truck via sliders across a giant boulder, I finally answered whether they can hold the weight of the truck.

Demello makes great equipment!

 

Amen...this forum makes me want to do stuff to my truck too...which is bad when you're a poor college student hahaha

 

i have some but not for sale lol
