    Ha ha, that's pretty funny. Strikingly similar to my sister! Her daughter is 1.5yrs old and she stays up all night!


    I appreciate it! Been in 3 years, just going the Officer route in May.

    I’m not affiliated in any way, but these guys have been around for a long time, and you can get a dbl cab sb set of DOM sliders, with kick outs, shipped for about what you’d pay for the ones you listed and the drive.

    My sliders are home built, but the dude I bought them from was a fabricator by trade and I knew enough when I was looking at the welds, etc.

    Did the seller say Hrew, DOM, wall thickness, come with backing plates, etc?

    That and you can’t fully inspect the welds from those pics, my two cents.

    I can't personally attest, but I already know it'll be well worth it.





    The seller said nothing about them at all. But then again, I didn't ask. Just considering he didn't include that information, it may be fair to say that they're not the best quality.

    Wow, those are very inexpensive. I've actually seen their video comparing their HREW and DOM and square tube. I'm really attracted to their price now that I've actually seen it.

    Yeah, mine are square tube and heavy, these are bookmarked if I wanna swap.

    I’d build my own, but shit, locally a 20’ stick 1-3/4” x .120 DOM is close to $200, these are cheaper and I don’t have the time to fab my own anyway.

    Looking more into them, I'd want a bolt-on as shipped, they come to a hundred fifty or so less than the minimum bolt on CBI's. As I don't have my own equipment/knowledge of welding, I'd have to pay a local guy which would probably be a few hrs, around $80 an hour from what I've heard around town. Not sure if it'd be worth it anymore, as these arent exactly what I was looking for. For someone who had their own equipment, they'd be perfect!

    What area are you in...there might be a member in your area that can weld it for beer and pizza. Look in the regional section for your local threads

    Now that's a thought... I'm southeastern Idaho, about 2.5hrs north of SLC and 3.5hrs east of Boise to give you frame of reference.
