i was on it for the last week looking at my power steering gear box. I haven't ordered it but called on it today and my phone kept telling me that the server was busy. I ordered sliders lastnight from them and I was online at their site until about an hour ago, and now I cant get connected. It'll come back sooner or later.

O.K., I am a very trusting individual based upon this boards recommendations of Marlin Crawler's products. I just got thru to Marlin Crawler and ordered the sliders sight unseen... With shipping, they came to $125, heck I couldn't make them for that, including time and supplies! WIll post pictures of the installed sliders next week......

I want, I want! I just can't do it (MAYBE I can)... but with the baby on the way it kind of puts a damper on impulse buys... SHEESH. Anyone want my stock "sliders"? HAHAHA

Kids beat a stupid 4Runner anyday. I'd give mine away in a second for my boys. One day you'll understand...if you are lucky!

I could probably afford it, but I just don't want to spend TOO much money before the baby is born... But then again after seeing a thread where they talked about collision safety with sliders taking most of the force in a t-bone type collision... I may just have to buy them for that fact ONLY... My g/f tells me to buy them, but I just don't know

It's a very enticing deal... I wonder how long they'll be available at this price?

Well... just ordered mine! I don't have any regrets... the g/f said it was cool... and the baby isn't due until Jan... So, NO MORE SPENDING, KEVIN! NO MORE! MUST... SAVE... FOR BABY! but maybe an engine swap to uh... get better fuel economy...? That'll have to wait, I guess.

I dont know if I should paint them or use a liner or undercoating type deal....I guess i'll try both.....and see which holds up the longest.

I'm thinking paint. My decision is based on chipping and how it would look if you touched up the liner or undercoating with paint after wheeling. Would the undercoat stick if you just applied a little bit as a touch up?
