i like that fiberglass u got...as for the dark tint, i get 35% to pass safety and i put 5% on top of the 35 myself. then when the time comes i pull the 5% off and get safety and put the 5% back on lol...tedious and costly but eh better than not getting tags up to date....i used to have a connection for safety, but now no more

 

My buddies at work, and also this guy I know with a white Tacoma, said that the markers are either gone, or have been bleached white by the UV rays. Those things were designed to be temporary construction markers. Atleast get excuse if you're caught off trail

 

Hit up TXnovice Ron he was thinking on getting sliders from BAMF so you guys can split shipping.

 

Yup, I went the other week and the markers are almost the same color as the ground. (good excuse)

What time you guys want to meet down there?

 

I was thinking around 8:30/9:00. Anybody else wanna go down?

 

Myself and Rylan have the All Pro Heavy Duty Bolt ons and there were only 3 or 4 holes that needed to be drilled. And those were for the bottom of the frame only. Which you cannot avoid with any sliders. The bolt on plate uses the existing holes in the side of the frame to secure. But since sliders are designed to hold the weight of the truck you need to bolt to the bottom of the frame as well where there are no existing holes to use. Plus All Pro sliders have counter sunk holes for the bottom and the bolts don't stick out. I believe some of the BAMF guys have the bolt heads sticking out. You're more than welcome to have a look at mine if you like. But they are very well built and don't require many holes at all. Go for the heavy duty instead! That's why the extra holes.

 

Thanks. I don't think I'll ever do hardcore off reading like you guys haha. Maybe low to mild.

Also looking at SOS Concept sliders. Theirs looks to be 100% bolt on. Just looking for the best shipping options.

 

try see what u can get thru boss4x4, shipping should be less during the GB

 

I wanted to get a set from SOS Concepts because he offered removable steps for his sliders. Unfortunately, he doesn't ship to Hawaii. Went with All Pro instead cause of the free shipping deal they had.

 

Seen that GB. How does it work? Whatever boss4x4 have is the only ones we can get?

He's still trying to find out what the shipping would be. He didn't really say if they can or can't ship to HI. I'm still waiting on that.

I'm just trying to get one at least at a reasonable price. I don't really need it to be fancy and what not.

 

Just PM Sarah on stuff you want for the group buy. She will let you know if she can bring it in or not. Right now it's 15% off and get to split shipping cost on whoever is on the group buy. If you still want an All Pro sliders she can get those.

 

plus, if you order those sliders, it's just a little more til free shipping

 

I think you'll find the AP will still be the best bet with price. It wasn't really about doing serious off roading cause I don't. It was the shipping and bolt on that did it for me. If you can get them through the Boss GB then you'll save a bunch of money on the shipping and get a good product. Maybe see how the bolt on application is for the Pelfrey sliders. I believe they are doing bolt on now.

 

Still Need about $1,400 for the free shipping tho. Shipping won't be too bad, not as much if you buy your sliders on your own.

 

Sarah can get pelfreybilt stuff for the group buy.

 

I know and I already ordered my bumper directly from Satin. I know I could've saved money on the shipping and possibly cost if I ordered if from this GB. But, then again I'd be waiting a lot longer.

 

See if your bumper can go on the pallet maybe save a few dollars

 

I thought about that. But, I'd still be waiting again. It's ok. I'm sure we'll have semi-annual boss GB's at this point. I'll order other stuff from her when I get more money.

 

Hopefully our stuff would ship out within a month or two.

 

So if anybody wants to come out and drive around in Kaena point tomorrow, lets meet up in the parking area around 8:30 and head in around 9.
