    I have already ordered myself a front bumper and sliders, but I know one day I'll be looking for a rear... I'll keep you in mind.

    If you look around you will find bolt on sliders for like 525 US unpainted, I'm not sure how much a good powdercoat job is but 700 seems about right. These look well made, you get what you pay for.

    allpro long travel, shackle flip with ome dakars, cruisin offroad bumpers and sliders, 4.88 gears with arb's front and rear, budbuilt skids.
    525 us plus shipping and the tax at the border and getting a good powder coat probably puts you around 850 , so 700 for a set of sliders is pretty good

    This

    With the powdercoating included I would say the price is fair

    Meh... I don't think shipping should be a factor. Local is local. If I lived near BAMF demello or relentless, I'd pay without having to ship. Plus, I'd go non-powdercoated. But that's just what I think. They do look like a good product, no doubt there.

    Maybe another day.

    Then buy demello sliders problem solved, if he can't sell any at his price then he will lower it.


    :notsure:

    A good powder coat job on sliders would be totally worth it.

    Especially up here in winter they get constantly hammered all winter with rocks and gravel. I cheaped out and spray painted mine, now every spring I have to repaint them.

    Usually you get what you pay for, looks to be a great product for a fair price. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

    Like I stated above, I don't live near any of those guys.

    But I am sure he will sell his sliders no problem as they are a great looking product.

    And I dont need powder coating since I have rock guard, I don't like the look of filler plates, and yes, bolt on is a whopping $75, which I would do.

    Look guys. I'm not hating, just said they were a little steeply priced, (as everything in Canada usually is) undoubtedly his material costs double too since our mighty government loves money more than me apparently.

    and all I'm saying is your comparison to $350 Demello sliders is not apples to apples

    Boys boys this isnt a pissing contest, this is a man trying to broaden our product choices, if you like it you will pay what you want for your items. This is a posting to show off those products for Jason to get his foot in the door in the taco world. If he feels he can make a change in in pricing further down the road as he figures out a production technique then he will do so. Until then just enjoy the eye candy.

    Thanks ghost. I wasn't trying to make it out to be anything other than what my opinion was about pricing. I will in subscribe from this thread and say no more.
