**Sliders + Shakedown**

Shake and bake bayybeh. Went up north a lil and welded on my 4xinnovations sliders thanks to the help of a friend, After that went on a lil shakedown run..Pics..The Sliders were DIY, IE, You have to weld the legs, So i did that much, Then joe the vet welder got it done



What a badass driveway...









Hah, My buddy that was with me happened to get this...


No action shots really, It was a very inpromtu (spelling ?) run..Also im still not very comfortable with the thing yet, so I took a few bypasses and didnt do anything too crazy. The truck does twice as well off road as the 91, the tourqe is a whole lot better and 4lo was my best friend . Anyway, What ya think guys ?

I still need to weld mine on.

Looks good though. Now you need some more armor so you don't mess up that body.
