Hey leave bleeder alone =) I was honestly curious, I've been warned from implicating a "curse" word... Yotatech is a G rated site to the core and it's IMO rediculous how strict they are, feel like im in a damn church half the time.
IVe gotten a Tread Lightly warning from the mods for posting a video of someone ELSE's truck. Go figure...
anyhoo, truck looks mean Vance =) !@#!$#$ YEA!

Hey Vance,
That pic was of the famous "Guy with a Mini-Semi, with a hole cut out where the engine goes and a Bull(COW?) Pulling the thing!" hahaha. He's smiling like crazy and there are like 3 guys in there. Here's the link if it doesn't stay up, lol......

Yeah he got sliders thats what they come in =)
VANCE did you get the gusset kit to??? I HOPE SO! Don't be cheap! Makes a huge difference! Can't beat the price on the kit either. I've installed two sets of sliders now, woop, last one went on a 09 Taco quad cab, came out absolutely perfect.
Advice? Figure out your mounting points, tack on the gussets, figure out where you want the sliders (how far out, what angle, where centered under the cab) TACK it all together, do some GOOD tacks on everything but the gussets on the frame..
Then cut the tacks on the frame and pull it off and then fully weld it OFF the truck. Then if you want, paint it, coat it, powerdercoat it, herculine it, when its off.
Just welding on the gussets is a lot of burn time, gets pretty hard on the neck doing all the welding under the rig not to mention you can get the best results fully welding everything when it's on a work bench, or the shop floor.
Things will adjust slightly when its welded off the rig, but if you did it all right it'll come pretty dang close to fitting perfect when you go to put it back on teh frame. Get some big C clamps out and position it and adjust accordingly with the clamps. Then fully weld it all up, including the rosettes.
Have fun =)
