Welcome to the Official SoCal BS/ Shenanigans, Tundras and What’s Happening Thread

Haha still need to install my WKOR Sliders as well

 

I knew it!!! I was gonna DM, and thought... nah he hasn't done it either!!! lol I'm gonna try and paint them this weekend.

 

Its gonna be 100+ this weekend... so.. I'd be willing to help if ya want... early in the morning or late in the evening lol

 

You mean sliders not skids??

 

I have got to find the time to install

 

Any drilling needed on those sliders?

 

Yes

 

Do you know offhand how many holes?

 

Glad I installed my suspension last weekend. I was sweating and it wasn't even that hot .

 

I think 8

 

$1060 for white knuckles

 

Each slider or total?

 

Demello are around that too. They both protect very well.

 

Might have to wait a bit. I've bought a lot of parts lately, TRD Pro (skid, fox suspension, wheels, and fog lights).

 

Yup. I get it. Don’t blow your budget. If you trail just be careful. Both companies put out quality sliders and while pricey they will protect your Tundra.

 

@nishibot and @nlaroy have u guys consider getting them welded instead?

 

They were all good finds.

I haven't yet so it's more for door dings. Just noticed the slightest mark yesterday so it's bugging me because I take so many precautions to not get hit.

 

I meant sliders and skids

 

Thought about it, but if i ever decided to part with vehicle, i'd want to take them off easily

 

Which skids did you get?

 

Went with RCI. Engine, trans, and fuel!

 

Nice! Me too, waiting for tank skid though.

 

I have SDHQ sliders on my 3rd gen and they do not stick out as far as the Demellos @Pinay posted. They're awesome as rock sliders, innoart because they're close to the truck, so our already wide trucks don't be even wider. And maybe get a side pic of WKOR (White Knuckle Off-Road) on a truck before you decide, 'cause I think they mount pretty close to the truck too.

And this observation:
If I can't get parking WTF out away from everyone else-- and if it's somewhere people stay a long time together (concerts; the beach... places I want to take the truck but can't park WTF away from everything), I sometimes look around for 2 really nice low cars and pro between. No matter what sliders or steps you get, if you park next to any truck with doors higher than your sliders, you're not protected. Only against damage from passenger cars.... So yeah, sliders are damned expensive if you're not using 'em as rock sliders (to protect your frame and door rockers from damage).

Nick, please tell that woman you live with that I'm already her big fan. I give you major credit for willingness to negotiate fine what you want, and her for recognizing the opportunity to ask for what she wants... from a good partner willing to focus at home. Y'all got it goin' on!

 

Check it out!

 

Looks like @Jackjack

 

Pretty sure it was the fuel tank skid, but one of my RCIs didn't come with any instructions. I emailed and asked and they said they didn't have anything. Not rocket science, I know, but still it'd be nice to know which hardware to use where and what was required vs. extra.

 

Damn. Reminds me. I need to give RCI an earful cuz my trans skid was missing washers.
Still waiting. Any YouTube vids on install?

 

All these damn fab geniouses-- great products; can't write instructions for .

 

Send me a pic of your decal installed on the inferno so I can post it for you.

 

I don't have it on yet. It won't happen right away. I hope to add it to the front windshield which will be painstaking work and require more time than I have now.
