Wow, you da man, Brudda! I'm kind of torn on the bumper avenue I want to take(Ie; CBI with tire carrier or TG style... ) Ya know? But seeing this could help me likely save quite a bit that I don't have, lol... I think I should try to see if there's something I could do with you that would save me a lil bit, right? I do need sliders.. and I've almost ordered them around 3 times... It seems around the end of the month when I'm about to do it, my daughters or someone comes to me with needs that wipe out that plan again. BUT, I came close this last trip... and I DO NOT want to damage my body if I can help it, yeah?

I'll PM ya so we can chat on it if that's ok... Just wanna figure a few things out and then just DO IT, ya know?

What are you doing on the rear? Did you already design it?

You got it, just lemme know whens good n ill make some time. Sliders should be no problem. I'm going to be making a simple TG style Tube bumper with hitch.(tire carrier will be added once i do more research and feel like buying a good latch.) Im just glad i got 90% of the 4runner done now =D. U will save money making the sliders, etc. 1.5" DOM last i checked was like $112 a 19ft stick.

Thanks Chef, yeah it was empty out there. She loves the Rig now that im not workin on it 24/7 lol...I cant even begin to explain how smooth it rides with the kings and air bumps. It maybe got within 1/4" of bottoming a bump on 1rst video run. Im super stoked on it and got alot of praise from the people that where out there.

Wow, sounds SMOOOOOOOOOOOTH! nice!!

Thank GOD there was no 'slider-free' carnage last time out hahaha... JK, I know you're not gonna risk that til it's ready

PS> I was gonna order them the other day... 4xinnovations... But right before clicking 'buy'... I remembered you saying "just come over here",..... hahaha. Would I be helping you out(with schedule, life business, etc.), by just getting them and we could weld them on over there? Or do you think something else? ..... Don't wanna be presumptuous, buddy, that's all, ya know?

Was also thinking of some things I wanna fix onto the Con-ferr... and maybe a couple other things. (I would like a TG style rear bumper....or preferably even the CBI with Carrier and jerry can apparatus, etc.... Just gotta save, ya know? lol)

Sure is, I try not to think of how many hours of my life went into this thing since it went into operation in mid Feb. But i think i got it mostly done in a good amount of time for only being able to work on it on the weekends. Lots of bruises, scrapes, burns, cuts, blood, sweat, and hopefully a lifetime of enjoyment. My new Hilleberg Tent just came in today so hopefully be doing alot more camping soon. (LETS GO CHEF! or at least build you some sliders & bumper!)

4xinnovations $165 +$50 for DOM = $215

M&K Metal $112/19ft DOM stick(1.5x.120)

Ill let u figure out what route u wanna take...

If u bring over pre made sliders we'll just line em up n burn em on OR We can make them per your desired lengths/widths/gussets/etc...

Im down for the cause either way...please dont hesitate to pull the trigger.

Sliders only have 1 bent piece of tube...the rest are straights.(should be pretty fast & easy)

I'll trade u some fab for cookin skillz LOL!
