    You went with 4x for your sliders? I'm going to order a set next week. $190 you can't go wrong. Strong? Got any pictures

    Yup, at $230 shipped to me you can't go wrong imo...

    I've dragged them across rocks with my whole driver side weight resting on them and they didn't budge or dent.

    I suggest going with the DOM since it's stronger. Very few people out there dent their sliders, but I'd rather have the piece of mind of having something as strong as possible since I'm welding it to the frame. Wish I would've went DOM.

    Here are some pics. I left the legs as long as they were when I got them and this is how far they stick out. Makes them stick out just past 12.5" wider tires on 3.75" backspacing wheels. As angled as I could have them with about an inch of clearance from the door IIRC.

    Are they very noticeable from a regular side view?

    Yeah, I like them a lot!

    If you angle them like mine, they go really well with the lines of the truck. I made mine go as far back as I could without hitting the side of the bed so it will push anything away for as long as possible until my rear tire gets to the obstacle. This is also nice if you ever plan to go 35's, as many people have had to cut back the front of their sliders since they're so close to the front fender, unlike how I did mine.

    Nice setup. I have a 99 prerunner. What size are your wheels and tires and are you lifted? I want mine to look like that if i ever get rims w/ tires.

    I removed my spare because tire on it was no good. No point in having spare on truck if the tire is all cracked and 10+ years old like mine.
    thanks
