Opinions? Scrap it or leave it? It still works perfect just a little off.

 

Looks good

 

Looks good, sometimes it doesn't have to be perfect as long as it's strong.
I think I'll jump on one if you start selling

 

I'm in the market for sliders, what do you guys recommend?

 

Brute force fab

 

@Alfred they look good and the price is decent, what is the advantage of welding them on over bolting on?

 

I'd prefer weld on over bolt on. Weld on they're for sure solid and will provide more strength when sliding on rocks. My sliders are a hybrid they're bolt on/weld on aND seem to be equally as strong as the weld on in my opinion. I think billy charged me 400 for my sliders with kick out, powder coat and install.

 

400 isn't bad with the install and powder coat. Is he based out of fresno?

 

I like @Alfred design. Makes it easy to recoat. I have BAMF weld on, simply because they are cheaper than bolt on and I could do it myself. @Krim 559 is getting BAMF Bolt on for his this weekend I believe. Local is better because you save on shipping charges.

 

B.A.M.F. picking mine up this weekend

 

I'd stay local though if i could afford it

 

Yeah clovis

 

California is localish

 

Haha true

 

So here we go...

Slider adapter for Hi-lift jack, fits up to 1.75" O.D. slider tubing. Painted satin black & comes with 5/8" pin. Cost is $45 shipped to lower 48, $40 picked up.


Extra large base for Hi-lift jack. I can add raised/expanded steel to the bottom for more bite for an additional $15, see reference pic at bottom. Comes bare & with 1/2" pin. Cost is $53 shipped to lower 48, $40 picked up.
This particular one is $48 shipped, $35 picked up due to the pin not being perfectly straight as seen in pic 2.

Let me know what you guys think... Honestly.

 

You're gonna have to quit your job and get a fab shop. They look really nice and I think you'll sell a good amount on TW. Can I share this with the locals that we go wheeling with on instagram? We're in a group chat and I can share it amongst us for now.

 

What if you make the tube on the base a little longer so that it wraps the hilift jack a bit more? Would that help a bit? But it really looks great either way

 

Looks good !
But that base plate looks a bit on the heavy side, I wouldn't know where to hide it on my truck...

 

Thanks! Yeah that's cool

The square tube part?

Thanks! Yeah it's beefy, 1/4" plate and 3/16" tube & gussets.

 

Yeah the square tubing
