    Too many, but not enough....
    Got the Cali raised sliders with rhino lining on today. Their badass to say the least. Install took about 6 hours alone, mostly because I had to drill some holes to fit with valhalla sheild cat covers and the rci fuel tank skid bracket. They kicked my ass but so worth it.20210725_154820.jpg 20210725_154816.jpg 20210725_154751.jpg 20210725_154745.jpg 20210725_154740.jpg 20210725_154720.jpg 20210725_154732.jpg 20210725_154711.jpg 20210725_154705.jpg 20210725_154700.jpg

    Same issue with the confined space. Luckily for me, I had this stubby 3/4 wrench in the back of the toolbox. Was just able to get it to fit in there. Had to tighten in little tiny bites, so it took a while, but was able to get some oomph on it at the end to make sure everything was cinched up tight. D9BCFDA0-2985-488A-9197-66B1E9402ABC.jpg

    Damn, well that beats my long needle nose. I may need to pick one up to tighten the rest of it when I have a chance to.

    If you can’t find a stubby, you can always get a cheap Harbor Freight or pawn shop one and cut it down to fit.

    Is that the bedliner finish option from cali-raised or did you have them rhino'd after you got them? I'm torn between these and white knuckle. Cali is all 2" DOM and WKOR are 2" square + 1.75" DOM outer. So much debate out there about what's stronger or what's the better design.

    I'm a cheap bastard so I got some trail gear DOM 80" sliders with kickouts. Plan is to split them mid way and add a filler piece to extend them between the wheel arches, then set a plate on the frame sides and start tacking in mounts.

    The price of DOM, much less the current availability is INSANE.

    Haha, will do! I have a lot of other projects rn like installing the bed rack and RTT but we'll see when I am able to do the rock sliders. Hoping sometime next month with being out of town.

    Those Milwaukee Black Oxide bits are what you want, but you’ll need to get up to 1/2 inch. Those included unibits may get you there, but I’m not sure. With the right bits, I doubt you’ll have a need for the Jack, but it won’t hurt. Bits are key. Grab some appropriate long-sleeve work wear.

    That stubby wrench should save you a lot of heartache. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    I’m prepping to install the same sliders. I’ve read horror stories of trying to drill through the frame so I went on a mission for the best bits and found these at Home Depot rated for “hard metal”. I picked up multiples of various sizes from 1/8” to 1/2” figuring I can return them if I don’t end up needing them all.

    If those don't work try some Step bits. I found black oxide to work really well with steel. Available at home depot or harbor freight. Go slow with a variable speed drill and use a drop of oil, otherwise a high speed grab will wreck your wrist fast.

    Edit*** forgot to include a pic. These might be cheaper than the bits you bought.

    You’re lifted right? If you are, the Ryobi should fit under if you have a jack. When I was using it, the Ryobi was too big so I had to use my Dewalt drill with a 5ah battery.

    So this one is the one that I want, correct? I can use the step up bit since it goes up to 1/2

    And yeah, I am lifted. Its just 2.5" so I might get the Ryobi since it is cheaper.

    Haven’t purchased yet. Slider install hopefully will happen in the next couple weeks. Trying to find a decent quality, low profile, and low cost has been tricky. I’ll post up anything I may find

    Not sure on that one, but most of them are pretty strong. At least for the expensive brands..

    So to confirm…the CM fit the DC. The only issue is the difficulty of the last bolt?
