Rock Sliders for Extended Cab Rangers. Who is interested?
yes my exhaust does come out in front of my passenger tire, im looking for length, and width cause the ones i have now don't stick out far enough, im looking for them to serve 2 kinds of purposes, one is to help me bounce and slide off of objects instead of doing damage and the other is to have step sides that i can actually get my foot on, the step sides that i have now are way to close to the body
I made these for Mike, he has the side exit exhaust. I asked him how long he wanted the passenger side. Also with mine you set the pitch they mount at because I just send the legs unwelded.






as for strength....

I have also bashed them against rocks several times with no dents yet.

extend it to be over the rear axle and just chop it there with a turn down

Hey Zach, I saw the question asked, and Im not sure if it was answered or not.
Would it be better to bolt sliders on, or weld them?
I know that some people (including myself maybe) might like to take the sliders off....maybe?
Im curious, even with using all grade 8, could bolting them on be as strong as a solid weld?

why would you want to drill holes in your frame? if you weld them on you can cut them back off with a grinder in a few minutes.
Welding is going to be stronger for sure, I tried bolting and the options are just not good on our frames. If there was any other option i would say some type of Ubolt or clamping system. I jsut dont have the tools or resources to pump out a million bolt on brackets. Once you get my sliders you can do whatever with them really.
I would dump it under the frame. that is how I run mine and will continue to do so.
Those are the number of mountings legs between the sliders and the frame. 3 will work for most but some hardcore guys like to use 4.
I only use 3 per side, it is more than enough it just seems like some people think they need 4, so i offer it.
for anyone interested I will start making these and getting accurate quotes after next weekend. I am just swamped and trying to get my truck done and out of the shop until march. So I currently dont even have room to bend tube. I am not trying to ignore anyone.
