DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I have an IFS skid on order with the sliders which is my bigger concern for Big Bend. May not be necessary, but good peace of mind on a trip so far from home.

 

Why is everyone buying sliders from out of state when @Trailworx is local, has short lead times and only charges $500 for bare metal for the 3rd gen?

 

My choice was based on the companies offering bolt on options and price. I had directly asked Eddy @ SOS about lead time before placing the order, so thought I was given accurate info. Had I known it would've taken this long, I might have gone with someone local on the sliders and get tacodriver08 to make a set of skids. Would've saved the shipping cost from SC too. Trailworx did an awesome job on @Naveronski 's bumper so they will certainly get my consideration in the future.

 

Isnt it a bit cold out to be painting?

 

I've learned quoted lead times from fab companies are not based on reality. Consider yourself lucky if they are only 50% overdue instead of 400% like my front bumper ended up being.

 

SOS has a group buy going on right now and quoting people 8-12 weeks. Good luck to them! With those GB sales, maybe they'll have the resources to finish my order.

 

After seeing, @Naveronski bumper, ill def be hitting up trailworx for whatever i build next

 

Maybe, im keeping the paint warm in the house. It seems to be going on ok right now. I'm moving them in the garage because its starting to look like rain.

 

I think rain possible late afternoon, should have some time

 

I got them moved in.

 

Anyone got anything fun going on Saturday night? Wife is having her sis's bachelorette party at our place and I must vacate for the evening.

Edit: Fun could mean anything from work on the truck, drink a beer, play xbox or all three at once....

 

I dont, but the way this work week is starting out... i will be down for some inebriation.

 

I would be down but the wife will be out of town and I'll have two rug rats to keep alive. Just kidding, they're great but still. But still makes truck work and beer a bit more of a problem.

 

burning some more brush if you like big fired

 

that sounds quite nice and relaxing. definitely an option.

 

Apparently I'm partying at your place.

 

I ordered sliders last November... still havent got them!

Naw man you are just getting started!

I hope to have mine also! This waiting shit is for the birds!

Looking good! Im ready for bigger tires on my truck!

I think my tires stick out that much without spacers!

Black skids matter!

 

Ya man lol TW is a little overwhelming but Ive learned a ton so far.
