Hey man when you get bored of working on your own truck, you should just head here, you can stay at my place...and start messing with mine.

 

i assume that's 360 shiping and parts, not just shipping, right?

 

It's shipping and parts.

These things will take a ton of abuse. On my truck I have slammed them against rocks over and over again. No issues. I do have a small dent in the one side bar but I was literally bouncing it off a rock over and over again trying to get up this ledge.

I'd love to make them for anyone but for the next few weeks I'm stuck with crutches and a knee brace so I can't bend tube.

If you are serious and want a real price send me a pm.

 

body lift is going to be first, but i do want a set, no hurry at all...

i can deal with dents... if you were to put a jack under them, and lift, would they bend do you figure? or would you lift the truck up? (hi-lift)

i'll shoot you a pm when i'm ready to buy though

 

I have used one on my truck, it will left the whole front end off the ground. they do flex but it is nothing out of the ordinary from DOM tube. You want it to flex and give some. That will help absorb the brunt of the impact.

 

flex i'm fine with, it's bending or breaking i don't want... you've got me sold though Zach!

 

Mine have not broke yet. I dont think they will "break", only bend or dent, they are made with 1020 DOM which is not seamed tube.

 

I lifted my truck on a 2 post car lift to test the strength of them and they didn't permanently bend. They flexed and had me a little worried at first but there was no problems with them. Had the whole truck off the ground.

 

Better to flex than to crack and snap off like Zach said.

 

I know. I was saying that to kinda show their strength.

 

nice! when i would on my truck i use them as jack stand mounts. i know they work. :)

 

ahhh i kinda want some lol i just don't have the $$ right now but since you're on crutches i may save by the time you've recovered

 

if youre going to the dunes it would save you some shipping. i will probably be there.

 

my running boards do that same thing lol jk

 

ill send ya a PM

 

Are you still making these? How much is shipping usually?

 

Yes I am. Shipping is around 50 in the normal 48 states.

 

Sweet, has anyone posted pics of theirs that they got from you? Your truck is to badass lol id like to see some on a bl and 33s maybe? How much longer will you be doing this? I can have the money soon.

 

Hey zach sorry if I missed it earlier in the thread... How much for the sliders with 4 posts? And do you have any rough idea what it would cost to ship to Ontario Canada?

 

I can dig some pictures up if need be. There are a few with them. I will make them any time, just send me a PM and I will get you a final price and make them. I have no deadlines. Prices may change as steel changes price every other day. But for now its 300+ shipping.

Its an extra 20 for all 4 posts. And seems like shipping to canada is twice as much. So 120? I know I have priced it before. Send me your address and I will get an exact amount.

 

I wonder what these would look like installed upside down? That is basically what I was looking for when I asked you about them. More of side steps, than sliders. If you installed the same thing upside down would they function as side steps? Anyone have a loose pair they could see what that looks like?

 

they will work for that, when you get them you decide the angle to mount them I do not set that. you weld the posts on then stick the outer piece on and choose the desired angle.

 

Ok so i could tuck them up against the body and not have them stick out much? Your sliders are the best i have seen, do you make bumpers too? Lol

 

Yeah the post come in 14" lengths but you are welcome to trim them up if you would like. I assume you know these require welding to mount?

I have made bumpers but I dont have a stock truck to make a 'die' or basic mount bumper from. my ranger is no longer in stock enough form to build something i could sell.

 

beard, you offer bolt on ones at all? something that clamps to the frame or around it? would that make these less strong if it was bolt on instead of weld on?
