WTF? I posted this thread. 2DoorRunner replied, I use the link from the email notification and the thread is gone! Whats up with that?!

I'd measure my own dam truck but it is 3000 miles from home. I've got 1 day to finish this up and take back with me.


I trying to fab up my sliders mounts while at home and need a measurement. The truck is an 89 DLX and I need to know the distance from the outside of the frame to the pinch weld/seam under the door.

i measured the pass side from the frame to the door was 12" i think. the line bottom line of the cab comes out to 9 1/2"

First of all...chill out.

It was deleted because in your original thread you didn't say that you were unable to access your own truck.

Fink

yotarover

i think he did because i remember seeing a thread about a guy who wasn't near or around his truck .. hope those measurements are right

Fink

He didn't - we keep a copy of the threads we delete.

Fink

yotarover

i figured yall did. maybe it was in another forum similar to what he was asking

Fink

Yup!

Fink

yotarover

either those measurements were right and he headed off to go build or

he fell asleep with a smoke in his hand caught his hair on fire burned down his place, jumped out of a window looking like chucky then got hit by a bus. im sure someone will figure out the rest

My bad for assuming folks would give me the benefit of doubt. But I guess you don't know me... Maybe posting pics of my junk as I ask would help?

The sliders (in Vancouver), 1.75 sq & round tube. Bent with greenlee hyd bender.



The brackets, 2" sq tube w/1x2 tube gussets (in Alaska)





in the background, 52" ags, rocks w/arbs, 4 linked F&R, rear discs, narrowed crewcab ...

bad ass i like it

Fink

Most of the time...people are just too lazy.

yotarover thanks, 12" is too much for sure, 9-9.5" is probably close enough. I may go to town and start driving the parking lots looking for a rig. Yeah I did post over on alaska4x4network but they know me there and know the truck ain't at home.

yotarover

at least i tired to help i can make a post or ask a question and some times get jack hit from ppl. but now if somebody well known makes a post about what they just did the whole community chims in (SRAH-selective response A-holes) i still have yet to make my sliders

Now that sounds like something I would do. Well, I have done it. Recently too. just to get a measurement.

snowbear

Thanks yotarover

I gotta get this cut, welded up, packed and in the mail so it's there when I go back to work. Then in a couple weeks when I get time, fit everything to the rig. Never enough time in the day...

Better get off my a$$

went to walmart and found a rig 5.5" at the door. Pretty much got'm done except for the 2 that'll go behind the front wheels. I remember those are longer and will need to be beveled at the frame.

Fink

Enough with the back and forth.

2Door has a point and he's right - he wasn't directing it at anybody in particular.

snowbear,

You definitely look like you've got some fab, and some measuring, skills.

Fink

2DoorRunner

Thanks Fink.

And x2, like i said earlier, i love the sliders with the kick out, yours look like they will be able to take a nice hard hit
