That timing cover must be a PITA! heheh... jk, ....actually, just curious how that sweet rig is coming along? Need pics, too, or maybe more video? .....Please? lol.

have a good'n,

its going slow... i put the 4.88s and lockers in with some help, and i haven't done much to it since then. I move out in february, so the modifications are gonna come to a halt. it'll be more about keeping it reliable than trickin' it out.

 

Got some work done on the 4Runner yesterday.

Stubbs Welding sliders

How they arrived:




Getting painted:




Test Fit:




Finished:


Also, Heres a comparison. These are Single cab/4Runner sliders from TG and mine next to it. Both unpainted.

 

Also Welded my IFS brace on. Just a stitch weld, can be easily grinded off if I need to remove it.

 

Looks good Mak but unfortunately, you will now have to get them all scratched up for us to see that they are really working...

 

lol totally... theyre my glorified side steps. i expect them to take more damage from rocks flying up than an actual rock

 

Yeah I hear ya. I would love to get rid of my nerf bars for a set like yours but they would end up being like the nerf bars, just a show piece, collect mud and snow and something for me to use to step up into my truck. I don't go rock climbing mainly because we don't have that type of terrain here.

 

the ONLY thing about his "sliders" you cant see is how heavy those damn things are... pretty sure that they caused his truck to sag as soon as he put them on...

 

It does sag slightly. I through a level on it earlier to be 100%. but the skid plate will even it out and bring the front end down some more. lol

 

Who makes those sliders?

 

And to tell the truth I've found it harder to get in my yota with the sliders but they are cool for standing on if your spotting and I have put them to use alot have saved me a few times

 

Stubbs Welding makes them. Richard Stubbs is a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend him.

 

Reinforced my bumper with some extra bolts. Its pure beef now. Definitely winch ready.



Also, I found a spot for my huge PA horn ( I didnt think it was that big when I ordered it ) but Heres the pictures!

Front of the bumper, off to the right of the blinker.


Doesn't interfere with the blinker at all, and no one will know its there.


Here it is with the blinker installed.

 

Those sliders look great! Plus, if you can't beat them up on the trail, at least they will save you from those dreaded door dings at the mall.

 

haha im gonna be testing them at squaw ridge this year, hopefully.

 

stupid iphone!

 

stupid iphone?

 

phone froze and when it unfroze it started pushing random buttons and posted crap on your build thread... sorry...

 

TJM is definitely on there now those bolts were tough tools didnt exactly fit but we got it done lol, i like that idea for the PA come up with any ideas on how to bolt it there?

 

Zip ties!
