    I'm starting the process of fitting my sliders today. I've been practicing welding for the past month and I'm felling pretty confident.

    Totally, like I said, if you can do it yourself, absolutely, but for those of us who can't, I think this is a real good option.

    No idea when my next time off is going to be, so I'm going to have to hold off on getting them welded. Sorry I can't pitch in for the group welding buy.

    I don't have a timeline for either group buy, so it may work out Luke. Nick wants to wait til it's dry so it's not just a mess when we all pile in the shop. Realistically I think we're probably at least a month away from putting them on. Is there anyone who has a need sooner than that?
    I know I want them on, but I definitely don't need them on right now.

    Already dropped them off? Is that what the rest of us should do who will have underground install them?

    Billy reccomends 15 degrees. You'll just need to cut the angle into the supports that go to the frame.


    I'm putting mine on flat I think.

    Well I remembered correctly then. I went over to KCC today after I grabbed them from you, noticed the supports needed the angle to be cut and could have sworn I had heard 15 degrees somewhere. So I went with that. Ill hopefully be able to get them on by the end of next week

    I asked billy to leave them flat so we could set it at any angle we wanted. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SET THEM AT A NEGATIVE ANGLE THOUGH. it looks ridiculous and is incredibly impractical. I've only seen it a few times but lets not do that up here haha. Billy will shun us ;)

    But I thought that setting them at a negative angle would help me slide on more rocks :confused: Aren't these "rock sliders"? I want to be more proactive in putting them to use.

    If one goes negative, we all do! We've got to stick together.
