    addicted?

    they're in FOCO now. just moved. they welded my sliders on for me.

    i've got a welder and i consider myself a decent welder but i'm not sure i trust myself with sliders as they are most likely the most abused

    check out some mom and pop muffler shops. May have a good enough welder? Or ask around about field service guys, they're usually perty damn good welders. Just gotta help em get them lined up right probably.

    Its a PITA to do due to the location. Welding the top part of the mounting plates is a bitch. Getting them lined up is also kinda a pain..just kinda awkward.

    Also the feet and feet gussets won't be welded on. You'll have to do that before they are mounted.

    But not "hard" over all..just important..i mean..your gonna be slamming them on rocks sometimes with the full weight of the rig..you don't want crappy welds to bread off..bye bye side panels otherwise..haha

    way better looking :p haha

    150 huh? damn.


    nah im just giving you shit. My ipad though seriously doesn't resize stuff haha its funny.

    and no :eek: just one R&P 4.88 for the rear..got it brand new never used for 150.

    might have a line on a front diff now too plus an e locker..but i won't take the e locker..as i plan on using a tundra axle which uses the same diff i have now so i can regear it and lock it and just swap the axle and still use it.

    Nice! How much wider is the tundra axle gonna be? They're almost the same as the 2nd gen tacomas right? couldnt you just source a second gen taco axle or would that just cost more than a first gen tundra axle? Guess your going for stronger too while your at it...
