    Yes haha
    Caue I would most likely get more use out of a wilder than a range finder and yes I can weld.

    sounds like it is a cheapo welder but it runs on 220 volt and is brand new

    Yea..maybe next summer. You have to get licensed.

    And you never use your radio anyways..haha :p

    Yea only for Gopro. Still damn cool though. Wish their stuff was so pricey. 3k for the Xp2 with GPS and 400ish for the Gimbal with a handle..crazy..

    niche market though.

    So you lost the antenna or it broke?

    What brand??

    That sounds super scetchy gage! could you weld on tabs or flatbar to the rack so you can tie it into the rail system? Maybe you could do that too while you and Joey weld on ur sliders...

    Its about a 4hr install. We just did a set of the BAMF sliders on a double cab. We had to stack some frame plates as there was about a 3/8" gap on a few legs after we laid them up on the frame. So, it took some time to get it right.

    On a side note, when we do installs like this, I drop $50 off if the sliders already have the legs welded on them. IIRC, the BAMF sliders have the legs already welded on. So, it would be $150.

    Still its about a 2.5-3hr install with the legs on. It takes time.

    Yea that makes sense. Took a while to do mine myself too. Its not an easy job thats for sure.

    BAMF sliders do have legs welded on but not the feet/frame plates on the ends of the legs or guessets.

    you guys gonna sell a turbo kit anytime soon :D

    Not really possible to do a "kit". Everything is so tight in there that we kind of have to do it ourselves. Plus, a lot of it is TIG welded.

    We could install a system like Glade's for around $5K. It sounds like a lot, but look at what a new Supercharger costs and then add on all the URD stuff to make it run right and your at $4000 anyway. Plus this is projected to give around 350hp at the crank. So, you would get A LOT more power out of it.

    5k sounds like a good price for custom exhaust work and tuning stuff in one go.
