    Hello everyone,

    First time owner of a new Toyota vehicle. I had 2 used Toyota vehicles before, but this is a first for me. I am excited about the possibilities and adventures this truck will provide me and my family. Also, excited about being part of this forum.

    Laters!

    Your welcome. Slow down or your wife may hide your wallet. On second thought, maybe she should. Lol. Enjoy. It can be fun but painful at the same time.

    Haha I have start with "inexpensive" items first, but sliders are on the list. Just can't decide which to get, also they are pricey!

    Where you located big guy?
    Mob town are most popular
    There are are a few other quality choices as well. Hit up the local section for your area and see if there a few welder/fabricators in your general area. Pm them and ask what they charge also. Also keep your eyes open in For Sale section or the main wall. They go on sale. A friend of mine just picked up demello's for 350. I am have a local gut build mine for 475, mine will be for a long bed with kick out at angle up.

    Located in the Seattle area. I am going to start looking at the local groups or shops around here. I have a cousin and uncle that can weld anything, I guess I just have to draw something for them. My truck is also a long bed, and I would like the sliders to have a kick out and an angle as well. My have to put my thinking cap on..............

    Just need to ask what type of tubing they use and i am going bolt on, weld on can be done too. I have just heard a few stories of toyota voiding frame warranties and such due to weld on items. Do a lot of reading, what are your plans for the truck wheeling, camping, overlanding!

    Mainly camping and wheeling, but I wanted to get the sliders to use as running boards on steroids, just in case I get into hard core off-roading. I am definitely going bolt-on.
