Got custom sliders for $150!!! (pics)
I finally got sliders!!
I found out that my co-worker's husband does fab work out of his garage... So I asked him if he could fab me up some sliders, and here are the results.... and for $150
the main rail and the struts that connect to the frame are 1.75" tube and the kickout and two middle pieces are 1.5" tube, plus he made them so I didn't have to trim my pinch welds
Here is a shot of the weld quality
if anyone want's work done, the guy said he was up for more projects.. PM me if you want his number.

$150 would barely cover the cost of the materials. A 20' stick of 1.75" DOM is $95 here in ABQ and I would expect it's more $ in CA, good find!

Awesome! $150 huh? I'm in Cali too but I'm about 4 hours away. It would be nice trip to come pick them up rather than you having to ship them. Could he also install them to? I heard it was illegal her in California to weld to the frame, so the only way is to get a private party to do it, but I don't know anyone who would/could. Is this guy willing to do a few intalls? Either way, I'm very interested!

HEy mikronized, those look great. Is he in San luis abispo as well? I'm down near L.A. For $150, I would be willing to drive up and get them installed. (did he do the installation as well?) If he would be interested in making a set for my 3rd gen and if he would be willing to install it as well, tell him he has another buyer.-thanks

I'd be interested if he can do three things: 1.) make them for a 1st gen. 2.) make them to be bolted on in like 8 places each, not welded. 3.) ship them across the United States for me. I don't ask for much, huh?

Sunday,
Where did you hear that? I dont think so, else eveyrone i know here in CA will be getting tickets soon!
Mikronized: looks great! I love the look of your truck, period. Those MTRs are the best and now w/ the sliders, the look is complete.
See you at Pismo!
Also, and not to be a big party poop, but is your co-worker's husband doing this "on the side" or is he a legitimate business? Website?
