    Hey Im going to finally start putting parts on my truck, I'm trying to decide ether to get sliders, or to get a soft top. I don't really do a lot of off roading yet, but people around me are pushing the sliders, but the soft top on the way up to the mountains would be nice. which would most likely be more beneficial, and can anyone post a pic of the soft top collapsed in the bed please, I did a search but most of the pictures were of the top up.

    thanks,

    well if you are taking it offroad you can dent your rockers easily without the sliders but do you need these or even want them? If not just get the top. :thumbsup:

    once you go off roading once you will probably be hooked. i vote sliders. they are probably the most important piece of armor you can put on your truck. i would rather have sliders than plate bumpers if i could only choose one
