    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Killer job on the night pictures! Looks like day light.

    Just added a hi lift mount to my rear bumper order. Will hold similar to this one. Stoked!

    Had to drill through the reservoir mounts and grind down the edge to fit the bolt.

    Quick question. How much are you guys paying for sliders? And installed prices?

    Got mine for like 400 or so? Welded on for like 100 I think. @glorifiedwelder put mine on.

    Bolt ons are more expensive but you can install yourself

    I got a guy that said $450 installed. Work seems decent. Didn't know if that was a decent price. Would want to tweak it a little though, more supports and larger tubing

    x2 for Ryan. He's a good dude and does better work IMO than the picture you posted, @Thesandaddict . No offense to the other fab guy. He'll work with you if you want to make tweaks to his design too.

    Lomita isn't really near me. So seems like a decent deal though.

    +1 for @Shmellmopwho sliders. Mine have already taken a good beating and held up great. About time I give it a repaint so they don't corrode away too bad.

    Got my weld ons (90") for whatever the pelfrey site says minus 10% including powdercoat. However, I wouldn't pay for powdercoat. I was in a pinch and needed a set right away and they had a recent customer back out. Satin asked if powdercoat was ok or if I wanted them stripped. I said "shoot, I'll take the powder included in that price." Went from an 8 week possible lead time to a pick up next day situation. Surely, I lucked out there.

    Also, 1.75" is a good, beefy size. DOM is best but overkill unless you're mashing king of the hammers style. HREW is just fine at the lesser cost.

    Thanks guys. I unfortunately am going to be taking a short break on sliders for a little bit till the show I'm working on is finished for the season. 12 hour days and working on these sliders have killed my time with my wife and daughter so I gotta wait till things slow down a little. But in a couple months I'll be ready to take more orders.

    My rear end is squeaking again since the dunes :annoyed:

    Also, that ocean sand is no joke. Found some spots of surface rust that definitely weren't there prior to the trip, cleaned it off and hit it with some protectant but dang, makes me glad we don't live in a climate where they salt the roads

    Dirty leaf pack isolators? My leafs always squeak after being in dirt or sand. Soapy brush and high setting on the garden hose quiets mine down. I don't spray with any lubricant because it attracts dirt and exasperates the issue.
