hmm.. wouldnt a curved front on the slider make it want to slide easier? Seems to me, that a square box, while is probably alot stronger than a tube, may cause you to get stuck on the end of the square box. maybe make both ends slanted like this " / " only with a bit more slant, so the truck will 'ride up' on to the rock or log or whatever instead of trying to push it...

Just a thought.

 

they're close enough to the tire that you probably wont ever get in that situation. if a huge skinny rock is sticking out of the ground and fits between the tire and slider i dont think either way is gonna help much.

on the other hand, in erics case.. if your just a giant flaming poser you never have to worry about it.

 

or in Matt's case you don't have to worry about it cause the TRUCK will never make it to a wheeling spot to get the truck in a position to actually USE the slider!

 

this is getting good lol

 

just like an old married couple,

 

yall are sweet

 

hahahahah....yeah buddy

 

YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO PIMP MY RIDE WHEN IM IN AUSTIN YA KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

 

Nice... I like how subbtle they are

 

im sure i can find some fuzzy dice for ya

 

like em, looks great! I like the square design too, somthing different

 

lets go! I took it to the shop and back today and it didn't run too hot, just ran like absolute **** if i layed into the gas.

who the hell told you?????!!!

 

it's ok man I wouldn't want it to blow up trying to actually TRY and keep up with me...LOL

 

i kinda want it to blow up.. might actually give ya a chance.

 

well you might wanna call TXDOT then and have a dump truck ready to follow you to pick up all the pieces that are gonna fall of it when you "give me a chance"

 

haha

you got a number handy?

 

hahahah geez do you want me to show you how to wheel your truck to? Man can't you do anything by yourself? LMAO

 

please do, I'm pretty n00b to the sport.

 

The truck isn't running hot, only sputtering under load in 3rd and up.. lets make a day trip to boulder

 

i like the looks of the square sliders. i was thinkin about gettin the trail gear ones for 100 bucks butt heck i might build a set similar to these.

 

they'll probably set you back about $100 after its all said and done.. i like 'em.

if the truck stays with me i'll be building another set i just need to figure out how i want to build them.

 

thats if someone else built them and shipped them to you. if you build yourself its cheaper.

 

meh, i guess we only used 1/2-3/4 of the stick of tube, that was what? $65? Then u gotta get 10' of the 2x2, no idea how much that is.. and the 1/4" plate was $12.

i could see 80-90.

 

what did you use the 1/4" plate for? capping off the ends? i think i used 1/8" stuff. lol. its just a cap. doesnt really do much of anything other than looks good

 

1/4 to plate the frame. did the same thing on Erics truck.
