BAMF Rock sliders "most" Trucks

Now that Joe's kickup and fill plates are all done these other ones should start turning red soon. I have the tubes cut and ready for all the sliders on the list. Just bend trim and weld and they are off on a truck.

 

That is great to hear!! On a side note, have you gotten your powder coating system set up? Been playing with it??

 

Way to hold up the process Joe.

Cant wait to get these bad boys.

 

No the oven I bought is built to order so its about 3 weeks out until it gets shipped to me. Im building Race Simulators for a company in San Jose and I'm powder coating those so you guys will be seeing some powdered stuff real soon.

 

Sweet!

 

sorry i know im difficult to please

 

so when are the bolt ons gonna be ready? your OP said the bolt on are in the works. Those iam really interested in!!

 

They are in the works but it's not something I'm just tossing together and I'm pretty backed up at the moment so not much design has been going on. There is a guy on the list now getting bolt on's so when I get to his that's when the bolt on's will be designed I'm still working out the frame plate design.

 

sounds cool to me man keep up the good work subbed when the bolt ons become more of a solid thing and when the money arrives

 

I would be all over a set of bolt ons!

 

could just get some..then drill holes in the plates and run bolts through the frame couldn't you??...i don't really know..

what the advantages to bolt ons other then they come off? haha

 

Well I CNC cut my frame plates so I could just cut holes in the plates for someone to drill the holes in the frames and just bolt them on. My bolt on's will have two larger frame plates you will still have to drill holes in your frame as will most bolt on sliders.

 

Well are they stronger? Safer? Idk..it seems to me like everyone does weld on and has no problem. But i have talked to a few ppl who say bolt ons are the way to go..

 

bolt ons are not the way to go!! They can't stand the beating that the weld ons can. Weld on are way stronger (assuming you have them installed by a professional). PLUS, you have to put holes in your freakin frame!! NO Bueno!!

 

Not true at all, do some more research...

 

Neither some people just don't want to weld on there frame. Little do they know they need to drill holes in the frame to install them and to me that's worse then welding to the frame. But to each there own Bolt on's that are well designed are just as strong as weld on's.

 

Putting additional holes (large ones at that) in your frame will definitely compromise the structural integrity. Toyota already hacks out as much material as possible to save on weight, id be scared to carve out any more.

 

True in theory, but in reality there are tons of hardcore rigs out there with bolt ons. If done right they are just as strong as weld ons. Check out hytenor's rig on TTORA.

 

Now were getting into 1st Gens I think the U wrap bolt on 1gen style are stronger then weld on sliders. My 1st Gen bolt on's will be that style.

 

ooo now that would be sweet!


And i am not too worried. Im just gonna weld mine
