Rock Sliders!

Just talked with Brian at Lil B's. He's at $800 for raw sliders that would need welded on. If he had them powdercoated it's $250 more.

 

I'm pretty sure that's a pic of White Knuckles on a Tundra. Yeah, those carriage bolts would be way better but how would you screw in the last 1/2"? I think I would just have them welded on rather than having those bolts exposed.

 

I was planning on replacing bolts like that with a grade 8 carriage bolt, if possible, to help alleviate that. Looks like your SDHQ's have held up well!

As far as the welds, they're pretty critical on chromoly. I appreciate the input, but I'll wait for @sdhq_offroad to reply.

 

Me too.

 

The bolt on option is nice and I get not wanting to weld especially on a new truck but in the end if you have to drill holes it's all the same to me. May as well have the strength of welding.

 

Thanks! I think I like the other offer better though.

Here are some pics of those sliders without the top plates.

 

Me three!

 

Yep. Got paid today

 

Group buy?

 

Do any adjustments need to be made to the 38 gallon fuel tank when getting sliders? I looked under there the other day and it seems like the fuel tank hangs lower than the chassis frame on either side.

 

If you're serious let me know, I'm calling him and can say theres two of us. Might give us a break

 

If this does come to pass, may be on board as well

 

Not sure, but I'm planning on getting a skid for mine.

 

If he gives us a discount Im in.

 

so they're 450 painted and welded on. seems like a cool dude and has a week turnaround. can't ask for much of a discount on top of that. going to meet him on Monday to let him measure me up. gonna have him make em a little wider so they will second as steps.

 

These are the SDHQ sliders correct?

 

These are slides made by a local guy here in Denver.

 

Is that your truck? Any chance you could post some shots from underneath? I'm definitely interested. Price is right for sure. I didn't really want to go with weld-on, but for the price difference I can deal.

 

How much is he charging for these? And would he ship?

 

I just bought the Smittybilt 616845 M1 Sliders. Has anybody has any experience with these? I'm going to be installing these tomorrow. Any heads up would be appreciated.

 

He quoted me $600 otd for sliders with top plate painted and welded on.

His Craigslist listing is in this thread and he's quick to respond to questions.

 

Not my truck but I'm looking hard at this price.

 

Just wanted to give my 2 cents/experience about White Knuckle sliders. They have been around quite a while with a proven reputation of quality and durability whether bolted or welded on. The hardware on the bottom part of the slider/frame has proven to be a non-issue. I personally like the fact that the bolt on’s are bolted to two sides of the frame for more support. Just weld your sliders on, that’s the way to go for the most strength in my opinion.
I have no connection to White Knuckle but have there sliders on my truck and had a great customer experience when purchasing mine

 

I had issues and called Smittybilt. They do not fit a Tundra with the 38 gallon gas tank.

 

@Biff_Elwood @Grey Wolf

Went over and met Loren @ First Choice Fab last night, good guy and knows his way around a welder for sure. He only had his Blazer there to show me, it had full armor on it and it was really beefy. Needless to say I gave him some money to get started on mine. He's really quick, going to be about a week turnaround and a quick apt. to weld them on. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

If these go well I'm going to have him do front and rear, pre-runner style/minimalist bumpers.

 

I'm interested to see how they turn out. Keep us posted.

 

Will do. when are we going wheeling?

 

SDHQ got my vote. Got their pre runner bumper, and the quality is one of the best!

 

Definitely want to see your sliders/truck up close!! Might be time for @T-Rex266 to set up another meet and greet by end of summer.

 

shit lets just find a brewery
