I was expecting my order to show up tomorrow sometime when who shows up but my favorite person, Mr. UPS driver with this...











Packaged very well, everything there, free stickers & arrived one day EARLY.
Thanks Chris!

 

i got mine too! cant believe that they were only 135 SHIPPED!! the box is heavy and there are SO many welds. Favorite part for me was that the legs are already notched. when are you gonna mount them and what are the "other"pieces in the picture......?i didnt get those

 

The other pieces are their gusset kit, $39.00 well worth the money, you should have got 'em.



I loved that they were already notched too, I hope to have them on tomorrow or Monday.

 

so your now going to bolt them on! i planned on wellding mine on to the frame.

 

nah, I'm gonna have them welded on. I just wanted a bigger contact area with the frame. I will probably cut the top two mounts off the brace like /\ so the welds aren't straight up & down on the frame.

 

u welding yourself?

 

no, I got a friend here that welds for a living in somebody's shop. He welded my frame for me & works on the side for cash. He's real good & doesn't charge me a lot at all. I'm real lucky.

 

 

Looking like tomorrow or Tues on the welds, my friend's been catching up at the shop and I've been busy trying to track down a 39.5 bogger for a spare for SE4RJ3, plus trying to get shocks located & installed. I hate seeing these sliders sitting on the garage floor, I want them on my truck!

 

Here ya go...

Got about 90% done tonight, we hated to stop but it was getting late, so we'll finish tomorrow. Welds are all done, just need to paint
We actually would have finished had it just been the sliders, but we were also fabbing some shock mounts as well.

Mock-up:





My buddy Nathan, prep grinding the frame for welds.





Cutting off a previous owner's bracket for something.



Mounting Brackets tacked in place...

 

Mounting brackets tacked to sliders & frame.







Derrick finishing some grinding.




Using the plasma cutter to remove the old shock mounts...

 

Sliders installed & painted flat black...

 

those look awesome

 

Thanks Lee, I used my hi-lift to lift one side off the ground as a test. Both tires off the deck, no movement at all. SOLID. I am so happy with them.

 

Ryker...you are a modding fool.

I just finished my last mod tonight...installed the CB. I'm done. I wish I had some sliders...but oh well...I got plenty of ground clearance so I think I'll be fine...I hope. It ain't like it would make the body ugly if I got a dent.

 

Thanks Brian, I need one of your slider adaptors now. I hope I get lucky in the raffle at the jambo. If not, then I know what my first WabFab purchase will be.....and I better get a free Wabbit sticker...

See ya Friday morning at SE4RJ3!

 

Wheres the kick-outs!? With a rig like that i'm surprised you didn't go with that option.
Anyhow..it's looking real nice!
