Im looking at buying some sliders in the near future

i know alot of people on here have them
I need to know what kind is the best

are they all the same? what ones arent good?

Im looking for good quality, plus low price

Thanks for looking

 

oxymoron: good quality for low price

you get what you pay for.

 

1styota, did you get the kickouts or non kickouts??

Pics?

 

there are all sorts of good ones around, just find the ones that you like the best as far as styling goes. some will say bolt-ons work fine, some will say they're too weak...i don't have an argument either way for that. mine are just square tubing welded and gusseted to the frame with nothing fancy going on

 

Some of my racing buddy's say:
fast, cheap, reliable. Pick 2.

I'll be going with the wabbit.

 

The most affordable ones will probably be the Trail Gear sliders. They sell for something like $135. I have them and am happy so far. But then again, I don't do any hardcore rock crawling. I use mine mostly for backcountry roads with light-moderate rocks. Nevertheless, they're still strong enough to jack the whole truck from. I haven't come down super hard on them yet, so I can't give any input there. All in all, I think they are great for the price.

 

dropzone^^ Did you get the HREW or DOM?

 

i got mine for 139 from trail gear

 

Where can i find bolt on sliders?

i know that welding them on is stronger, but im going to get it painted sometime

 

Real men don't bolt on their sliders....
Mine are All-Pro DOM, and I love em.

 

I've got the Marlin sliders. They've held up great to everything I've dropped onto so far. If you weld them to the frame, make sure you make some scab plates that weld between the slider leg and the frame rail.

 

I got a set of DOM, non-kickout sliders from 4x4 innovations. Very good quality but I'm sure all the other kits are as well. You can still paint with the sliders welded on; at least I'm planning on doing so.

 

Has anyone ever had any problems with DOM breaking, or not being strong enough?

 

DOM is plenty strong for sliders. Mine are HREW and aren't as tough as DOM and dent easier then DOM. I've only got one dent in mine but have used them quite a bit.

 

I got the HREW with Kickouts...Ther are only so many rocks out her in Dallas Texas. The kickout have alredy saved the side of my rig once (dang ruts near trees). I have had no complaints except i wish i had not put them at such a step angle. I have pics but are at home pm me you e-mail and I will try to send them to you tonight when I get home

 

Sorry, i meant HREW

has anyone ever had problems with HREW sliders breaking?
