    Short story is guy runs stop sign and I see him run into the side of me. I get out expecting the worst. Pictures are worth $1000 words!

    Sliders are welded on.

    Make sure you have your alignment and rear axle thrust angle / toe checked on his dime.

    Nice!:thumbsup:
    Sliders definitely protect from more than just trail hazards. I had a similar experience when someone changed lanes into me.

    I did an alignment the next day at work and all was well.

    They are the standard sliders.

    Hell yeah, once I found out there was no damage and the left rear wheel was tracking straight, I cracked up!

    My first thought as well. I've at times regretted getting them for fear that the frame would bend in the event of a side collision. But this gives peace of mind if no damage.

    About how fast do you think he was going when he hit?

    :D

    The impact nearly scared the pants off the guy... literally.
    Glad you and your truck are fine.

    You need to send this in to All-Pro; I'm sure they'll get a kick out of this
