Pre welded sliders?

Hey guys Ive been gone for a while, but I'm back now and I'm looking for some rock sliders. So like the title says, I'd like to know if any sliders come with the legs prewelded. If there are any that also have the legs cut to length that would be even better (I'm kinda OCD, and that would make my life way easier) Thanks guys

I have not seen any just bolt ons for Toyotas. Jeeps seem pretty good about that sort of thing but those parts are expensive.

None on the market that I've seen, never seen two people who wanted them in the same spot on the truck or the same angle on the legs. It's not a Jeep, bolt on options aren't really a big thing in the Toyota aftermarket.

That's right, and they are nice ones too, but the site says that only kits are available.

Look at Stubbs welding. That's where I'm getting my sliders from. Look really good, and ive heard great things about them from here.

All pro also has some decent looking ones. My little bro is pretty happy with them on his Tacoma.

Thats weird, why would you want the legs welded already, if youre already welding it to the frame?

You need to cut the legs to fit where you want them on your frame...

like i said im ocd, so if theyre not pre welded i'll spend all weekend trying to get the spacing and angle perfect on both sides. I'd reather just center them and weld them on.

If theres nothing out there that fits my needs at a good price then I'll do it, just thought I'd see if such a product existed

That is how I did mine except that they are bolt on, which was way more work..

My All Pro sliders came with the legs welded to the sliders at what appears to be an ideal angle. Plus the legs were cut and angled to weld straight to the frame of my 4runner. My last 4runner had trail gear sliders and there was a ton of head scratching to get everything right. I'm extremely happy with the purchase of the All Pro sliders!

since you are OCD, some attention to detail like the model/year of your truck is a big help. lots of companies make junk..the details help people direct your search...

You can't go wrong with sliders from Stubbs, Had them on my '05 Taco.
4xinnovations are great too..have them on my '81

Completely pre welded? I've installed every kind there is and none fit as perfect as Stubbs.

DIY kits are a lot cheaper.

I have the trailgears, and I wish I'd gone with 4xI. The notching on the legs looked like it was done by a braindead monkey and they fit like crap. I don't have a notcher and had to find someone to correct that for me.

TG doesn't make pre-welded sliders for your 86 so if the legs fit like crap then that would be your fault as they are a DIY kit ready for you to finish fitting, adjusting and welding.
