Man I hate to tell you this but those won't work on your truck. I'll tell you what, I'll take them off of your hands and I'll even pay shipping just to help a fellow Yota guy out.





Nice sliders!!!!!

Nice, one of the best upgrades I've made to my truck right next to the MC rear bumper! If I were you I'd get the MC rear bumper first and then save up for the front bumper and get a better winch in the future.

I have a question for you though...how do those 33x12.50's fit with your ~2 inch lift? I'm gunna be lookin for some used 33's for wheelin tires and don't wanna lift too much, because I'll probably be running 31's when not wheeling. Do they rub at full turn or tuck?

TOYOTA 1

nice!!

i need to build me a set of those! i think im gonna use square tubing though.

yoder519

nope they dont rub a bit at full lock. i have a screw missing from the plastic inside the fenders, they hit that but no big deal. they do rub a bit when there shoved up in the fender a bit but not enuf to eat my tire..yet. have you heard bad things about the smittybilt winches? the reason i wanna get one now is bc my dad wants me to cuz he had to pull me out with a tractor before. and the tractor bout got stuck. since then i dont play much with mud holes

a4runnerfreak

At least some-one admits they are missing a screw or 2.......lol

yoder519

what the crap. marlin charges $160 to ship just the front bumper with stinger, but it only says its gonna charge $130 to ship the front bumper w/stinger, rear bumper and 2 d-ring shakles. im confused

yoder519

at first i was dead set on welding them on cuz i figured if i bolted them on then it would be easier for the frame to rust. but tehn i got to thinkin, wouldnt the frame rust worst if there welded? since when you lay the bead down it heats up the metal. that sounds like it would make it rust easier after the metal had been heated. what do yall think

you are gonna paint where you welded on the frame right? Paint it with something good like POR-15. If you use your sliders for their intended purpose you are gonna need to repaint them periodically anyway.

I have no personal experience with the winch, but I know that Toyota1 got one and it burned up or somethin he would be able to answer your questions about the winch better.

when you say they rub when fully tucked, you're referring to the rear right?

I just got the same sliders a week ago. Almost got them welded on. Ill need another hour with a welder i think.

They are quite beefy huh?
