Great Build, Subscribed.

 

Thanks, I've had those sliders laying around taking up space in the garage for the last 6 months waiting for the DT lift to be done. I am glad to finally have them welded on.

 

Rob, sliders look awesome!! My 4xi sliders are sitting in my garage, waiting to go on. Do you remember how much you cut off the legs? I am trying to figure out how far out to mount mine.


And what did you paint em with? They look close to the sheen I got with "zero rust" paint. supposed to be like por-15 in a can. almost looks like powdercoat. I'm sure it'll still chip, but it should hold up better to salt spray in the winter.

 

Thanks Kiyo, I am not sure how much I cut them because they came to me usedwith the legs already welded to the slider. I cut them off of my buddies single cab Taco right before he traded it in. Luckly they worked out great since all of the legs where still too long, I just had to come up with the 4" x 4" x 1/4" plates and the angle braces. I can get some measurements for you though, the front leg is the tricky one because the frame angles in towards the front like this / \.

 

Soooo, what you are saying is you can't help me. Great.




Either way. Looks great.

 

I'll measure the distance from the frame to the inside of the slider for you when I get home.

 

Just giving you a hard time, Rob. Just getting measurements to compare to. Have t decided width yet, but gonna try 15 degrees for the angle.

 

Hey Rob.. the sliders look great. Looks like you got alot done. That was a good size list. With job, family and the 500 other things that come up along the way, it is a wonder any of us are able to get anything done. You got a lot accomplished and looks like you will be able to go on your run. There is alway something else to be done, but that can wait. Its ready so that is all that matters.

Great job and hope you have a great time on the trail.

 

ya know.......I've been in a tailspin for over 2 weks now and have not been on YT much at all and even when I am it's only for a very short time.......in other words, I haven't been able to catch up on the threads....so today I am......and your pics aren't showing up(says it's doing maintenance and will re-appear soon).....and with all the OOOH's and AHHH's i see as replies to your pics.....i'm missing some good stuff.

sounds like you are a man on a mission Rob....can't wait to see the pics

 

Slider pics arnt showing up anymore.

 

I'm not sure what is going on with the pics. I assume that Photobucket will have them up again soon. It says they are doing some maintinence? I sure hope they get them back up, every pic in this thread is down at the moment.

 

hmmmm...i'm able to look at my pics on photobucket

 

And magicaly the pics are back

 

Wow man, I left for a few days and PAPOWWWWWWWWW! lol. Looks great, but I WANNA SEE THE WHOLE TRUCK, man! lol..... I mean, ..."see the whole truck W/SLIDERS" now installed, ya know?

That's great, sounds like you're almost done with everything. How those gears feel??? You'll be a climbing foo! lol.

PS> Are you driving the truck to the destination?..... not towing it?

 

Great job those slides look great but I agree with chef picture of the whole truck

 

Thanks for having my 6, NV! ...hahaha.

Whenever you have time, Rob, ...not trying to be pushy.... just LOVE yer rig! haha.

L8r t8r's,

Mark

 

There will be plenty of pics up next week. The 4runner is on my trailer now and I am heading out at 7:30 am tomorrow. It's a 3-1/2 hour drive so no go on driving the 4runner there and back, I'd hate to break something on the trail and be stuck out. Plus I am so comfortable driving my Tacoma for the distance, it pulls the trailer great! Just gets poor mileage, with all of my gear + trailer + 4runner I figure it's at least a 6k pound load. I'll be lucky to get 12 mpg's average for the trip. I'm headed out for the hill country so it's going to be a nice drive. Hopefully my friends will get some good videos of me that I can post. Plenty of pics of course! Wish me luck guys, I'll report back Sunday eve or Monday morning.

 

Good luck on your trip. You had a workout getting the runner up and going. Sometimes it looked like everything was against you on getting it done, but it worked out. Between time and waiting for parts. Hope you have a great time.

 

hope you have a good time rob, and the runner works well for ya looking foward to pics or vids just seeing you wheeling that thing lol.

 

Looking forward to the pics, have a good trip!
