You have pics of that somewhere? Or are you saying 4xinnovations does that already?
plan on adding it. i really wanna build one out of square tubing but will see.
here some ideas. i want mine to be tucked pretty good and not stick out much. not really meant for a step but for the looks
some of these stick out to far cuz i think they wanted a dual slider/step setup





i been reading alot of off road mag from over the pond. so you can see its not uncommon over there

Yeah they're sweet. My trucks so low and long, so they add a lot of confidence, cant wait to do some belly dragging. I didnt get a chance to test them out other than 3 of my buddies jumping on them when I pulled in his yard. Haha. Im heading to an offroad park in southern New Hampshire on the 22, so I should be able to get some good pics then.

I put the sliders and budbuilt to the test this weekend. Bent the pass side slider one a hair, but all my welds held so Im happy with that. Went to a off road park in Southern New Hampshire with my local off road club. Had a blast, made some new friends, and didnt break anything major. I call that a good weekend.

Made my doors quick release. Just cut the pin out and replaced it with a 7/16th (I think) pin. Wheel'd all day Sunday and absolutely love it. Should have done this YEARS ago.



Top pin goes up from the bottom, bottom pin drops in from the top. Got that?


Had to grind a chunk out of the head of the pin to get it to clear the hinge bolt. Close up of the pin ground down clearing the bolt.


AAnd door less!


The view from inside. Now once I get some had doors made I can switch them out easily.

Not a lot of action shots. Too busy drivin'

Its been a slow start to the season for sure. I cant wait 'till we get some real accumulation.

Between this set of pics and the last snow pic, that snow had completely melted away.
But The ground is more frozen now, so I think this snow will stay.

THanks chef! The trucks a blast to drive, smiling every time I get behind the wheel.

Heres a shot from last year at this time during the motor swap! So happy to have the truck up and running!



Should have some new goodies for the truck soon! Cant wait for spring. My parents gave me the "ok" to make trails on their property. They have about 70 acres, so after a few days of cutting, ill have my own playground! All the recent snow pics are from there.
