Anything TC is like that.
Make sure you're sitting down if you ever look at their lca.

I thought my UCA were bad the LCA made me want to cry lol. But I know I'll eventually end up buying them.

 

Oh yeah that's right! Hahaha I'm sure u will find one eventually. Tho I wouldn't expect to find a crazy deal on one up here haha not like in the states where u can get a colour matches one for a couple hundred in mint condition hahaha

 

sweet moses. 742 USD. Thats what i paid for taxes/conversion in for my sliders which are now sitting on my prinsu rack hoping to be installed at work tomorrow. Good time to test out the prinsu rack

 

did you find someone local to help you install?

 

i think so.
going into my regiment tomorrow and hopefully my boss wont mind helping out, after all it was his idea to bring it in.
ive got a motorcycle jack, plus two stands and some wood that should help me keep it suspended while i maneuver around the bottom of the truck.
instructions from mobtown could use some improvement but we'll see how it goes.

 

who made the sliders? I'm hoping to get some at the end of the year from Mobtown and hit up their 25% off sale

 

@bfeth sliders are mob town. Mine are relentless fab, but mine are weld on.

 

just as pete said. Mobtown. I got mine during their Black friday sale when alcohol won and i bought them, but no ragrets...so far. plus



Also had some really good interactions with the guys from Mobtown so props to them

"Hi Manfred. Thanks for checking out our rock sliders. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I saw your message earlier, but wanted to make sure I sent a diligent response to your questions. So let's get to it.

1. Yes, we can certainly build them to any angle. But let me take a second to maybe convince you that the standard 20* angle is best. You may have noticed that difference vendors offer different standard angles. For the most part they all end up in the same place, it just depends on where we each started our tubing. In the end, we are all shooting for the same final location of the main hoop structure. So 15* standard angle from one vendor is probably functional similar to our 20* standard angle. So don't get thrown off and think that our 20* angle makes our slider higher than another vendor's 15* angle. Also, 5* doesn't change the location of the hoop that much (moves it about 3/8" lower) so it doesn't greatly improve it as a step. I would recommend you narrow your choice to either 0* or our standard 20*. I think you might be surprised how useful sliders can be even at 20* given that they stick out far enough to get a foot on. I know I use mine all the time as a step to get the kids in and out of their car seats. If you really think you want to utilize your sliders primarily for a step, I would strongly recommend skipping 15* and going straight to 0*. I spent a lot of time talking about this because due to the extra time it takes to build the sliders at a custom angle (our fixtures and batch parts are all run for 20* angles), we charge an extra $100. Also, it would be excluded from our Black Friday Sale. So take a minute and think about your goals and get back to me. I'd be happy to build them how you like, but I'd also like to see you save some money if the standard angle will work for you.

2. Absolutely, they are Hi Lift rated. Actually, the Hi Lift test is a poor example of the strength of a slider. Really, it's the bare minimum requirement and all true sliders should easily be able to pass the Hi Lift test. There are a lot of Nerf Bars/Tube steps that masquerade as sliders and are simply not sliders. But by and large, if it's a rock slider, it can be Hi Lift from and ours are an excellent example of that.

I'd happy to answer to answer any other questions.

Sincerely,

Joe B."

 

nice man! those are going to look nice! how was the shipping? hahaha

 

well i had them shipped to a guy in Buffalo NY, crossed the border to pick them up. got dinged 94 bucks in taxes. So my shipping experience wasn't great to be honest. But to save like 25% off was fucking legendary

 

yeah man I hear you! that's why I picked up my skids when I did hahaha cant say no to 25% off!! but I didn't get them shipped, buddy I talk to on here lives right by them, and is now an ambassador for them. so he picked them up for me and we met up in Binghampton NY. a bit of a drive plus had to pay tax on the way back, but totally worth it for the savings! I will be doing the same thing when I get the sliders.

 

That's why I got the US account to pick up stuff that doesn't make sense here. Such a ripoff Amazon Canada.

 

Hey, you know where i live. I made and mounted my own sliders for my tacoma. I could help you no problem.
Sounds like your good to go, but if it doesn’t happen tomorrow. Let me know

 

Why not instal them over there?

 

Ya and the lca are over $1000usd

 

SON OF BITCH I COMPLETELY FORGOT! yes if not tomorrow or i end up raging, this sat are you available?

 

they were bare steel pretty noticeable when everything was shiny haha, as well 3/4 hours to install them without my toolbox and jacks. and thirdly...i was right hung over haha

 

Yup, let me know! Its pretty straightforward install. Just get two axle stands and a jack to move them around. You’ll be fine.

 

Haha fair!
