You can get them for $130 according to the feedback he's accepted those offers. Sounds too good to be true & he's got a few negatives...even though that doesn't really say much as negatives can be slung at someone over nothing & his are for reasons all over the board.

I hope you get what you paid for & not something he's knocking together in his own backyard copying the TG design.

well considering its 135 on trail-gears website for the same thing, not that great of a deal.

$135 + shipping from TG, these are $140 shipped, so it is a good deal.


about 22% less than TG, i'd call that a savings

I didn't see that one (musta missed it) but I saw several for $130 that he accepted; that is a pretty good deal if they're quality....the guy that got them for $120 got a screamin' deal lol

it cost me more to make my own for my taco.

I'm thinking about ordering these. Are the legs already welded on? Did you have someone weld them onto your rig? If so, how much did it cost you? Did you use gussets? wow that was a lot of questions. sorry!

I figure for the mild off roading I do they should be ok and I'd be bolting them on so if I want to upgrade it'll be easier.

Mine are holding up well. I did the bolt on also. They do not come welded at all. You have to weld the legs onto the sliders. They also do not come with gussets. It is recommended you get those as well.

They weren't on mine, I bolted on, yes definitely use the gusset/scab plate kit!

I'm the wrong person to ask that question, I have little experience paying for welding.

I payed $300 to have mine welded to the frame. That included measuring welding the legs and gussets, then to the frame. They did an awesome job. The TG look great and they are holding up very well. They are great sliders for the price.
