    I have been in the market for rock sliders and a tube style rear bumper for quite a while now. I have an ARB deluxe bull bar and am trying to find something equally as aggressive looking without breaking the bank. If I knew how to weld and had the tools, I would just make one myself. Unfortunately I have neither the knowledge nor the tools. Anyone have any ideas? I have about 700-800 dollars to play with for both of them. Thanks for your help guys!

    I have the 4x Innovations sliders, they've held up really well. They don't come completely welded though, so you can set them to the length and angle you desire - you'll have to find a shop or someone to help you set them up.
    I think there are a couple companies that make them already set up, and even bolt-on if you want, you just have to drill some holes in your frame.

    I'm not a big fan of tube style rear bumpers, but Trail Gear makes one for a decent price that doesn't look too bad IMO. Both of those, with shipping and some shop time to get the sliders on, looks like it'll be right about $800.

    There is a group buy for sliders right now. Demello is offering 20% off until end of June. $240 for weld on plus shipping. $330 for bolt on.

    I bought my bolt-on CBI sliders off of craigslist, to save money. Sliders are a simple product so, unless they're crazy rusty, you can just repaint and install.

    I don't really care what kind of rear bumper I get in all honesty. I just want something aggressive and tube style bumpers are about all that I could find that aren't just subtle upgrades. If you have any suggestions, I am open to them for sure!

    I just craigslist and there isn't anything at all. Unfortunately since I am in Florida, there isn't a huge demand for rock sliders haha. They just make the truck look so hard and agressive, it's hard to pass them up. I am sure they will help with tree stumps at least

    You should just find a shop and have them make you both. Easiest cheapest way I bet
