Looking good. Are those stubbs? What color are you going with? Most do black, myself included. I've seen some non-black sliders look pretty good, but black tends to look the best IMO.

I painted mine before I put em on, screw trying to mask all that crap off.
They're gonna look awesome either way though.

Thanks guys, I don't think that painting them will be that difficult (I could be wrong), I have a set of the stock rims that I'm gonna sandblast and paint too this weekend over at my dads. I had a local guy do them and he did a VERY good job and a SWEET price, next week we're gonna try to fab something up for the rear bumper and then finish up with the front winch bumper. I'm excited!

If you're interested in getting something fabbed up you can email Brian at:

yeah, thats probably him...he has a lowered tacoma and a nice 4x4 chevy. I am VERY thankful to have found a guy in socal that can do stuff like this, everyone I talked to wanted me to drive my vehicle to another state for about a week or so and I don't have that kind of time or cash...or I could have ordered the sliders online but this is cool for the fact that now I can do the front and rear bumpers however I like!

Sliders look badass.

But even though I agree with it, the last pictured was completly unnecesary.

Yeah, I was actually thinking about getting one of those tents...the pricing is decent now and they look comfortable.
