    To compare:

    We're just as strong and require no drilling. We use a new aproach wrapping the chassis with a clamping system and also grabbing with a product called beam clamps. I'll try to snap some pictures showing this.

    We too are using DOM tubing and we also offer the sliders to be angled upwards as well as a kick out. We're still ironing out cost and are looking to drop the price. I have flat with no kickout on my regular cab because the short wheel base and I wanted flat for more of a step. Short wife and kid and plan to lift soon.

    Shipping is one big advantage. Nor too many companies on the east coast and shipping these is a small fortune when going across the country. Sent a set to AZ, $400 just in shipping...

    I'm definitely interested in seeing the details on the clamping system and how they compare strength wise to others that utilize multiple bolts. I'm not trying to discount your design at all, I just know APs are legit, especially for the price. Also, you might try using Fastenal for shipping... way less than $400, but store to store only in available areas.

    I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. The issue is powder coat and shipping. I want them to make it without a single scratch. So I wrap them in foam, build a pallet, band them down and ship them on a truck. If they go Fastenal or amy other carrier and not on a pallet they'll get messed up. If they're not powder coated, I can ship them differently and for half the cost. Thanks for the compliments and I'll be sure to get some pictures with more details. I'm sure you'll agree with our design when you can see what I'm talking about.

    And yes, AP's are legit. I really like them and the design. A very attractive design. But I figured there is a market where people don't want to touch their frames with a drill bit, especially because of rust concerns. So I did a ton of research and came up with this. Like I said, pics and explanation soon.

    Major cost update!

    Was able to drop prices significantly across the board! Finally found a tubing vendor to get my prices down and can pass the cost savings on!

    Also offering better lead times on certain configurations.

    Those look pretty good. It says they are slanted but they don't appear like it in the photos is it that slight of a slant?

    Hmmm. You may have just taken the top spot on my sliders list since I am (relatively) local and could come pick up. Awesome design, looks beefy as hell and really clean install.

    How long was the install process? How many bolts used? (Sorry don't feel like going back through all the pages to find it lol)

    Took me less than two hours. Longest part was pulling all my tools out to do it Haha. Used 6 3/8 grade 8 bolts per side just on the regular cab. Also uses an item called beam clamps which uses 1/2 grade 8 hardware. I didn't get a chance to get pics taken to show how we lock these bad boys down to the chassis. I'll try in the next day or two. Busy building orders!

    So, I think these are definitely next on my list. Found out the other day that my jack is too short to get my wheels off the ground and I don't have any jack points up front for a high-lift. Also scared the shit out of myself on the trail this weekend a few times when I almost dragged my rockers on some trees..

    Now just to save up the money! :bananadead: PM inbound regarding powdercoating

    I did Peters Mill Run down in Edinburg, Va with one of the local Taco guys and his buddy that drives an Fj80. Pretty fun trail. $5 and took about 2.5 hours.. Nothing super technical but we were there right after the rain so it was pretty muddy and the rocks were a little slick in some places. Only saw two jeeps, 4 dirt bikes, and 4 atv's while there.
