So I got off my but and aquired all of the materials required to build my sliders. So I went to my local Friend and trusted 4x4 shop Jeepers Den in Orlando FL, and went to building. I will keep you updated, today we were able to get them built. Tomorrow then end caps will be made and welded on as well as a coating of HotSpray bedliner shot on them and hopefully by Tuesday the will be welded on the truck.

Looks great so far! ... Did the Rottie help by keeping away Jeep owners ...?

 

nice...think about kick outs on them? wish mine had them on it...(shouldnt have been so cheap)

 

Wait till you see them on Im not so certain Ill need kickouts the tube run almost even with the outside of the tire. Keep in mind when Im running the SSR's they will be about an inch in.

Aaron

 

cool, hurry up already!!!

 

You should get a bung welded onto each of them so you can use them for air storage later. To add to the capacity and if they had a huge arse drill bit you could get themto drill a hole at each support tube to utilize the support tubes as well since they are so big. Just a thought

Though now that I think about it, you could always add it on later when you get an air setup... Lookin good!

 

Hmmm yeah prolly not Seeing as How I already have a tank!!! But thanks for the creative thought. where were you when I was desiging these? ˟˟˟˟ come to think of it I could have mounted flip out rocket carriers, or a set of wings!

UPDATE

HMMM delay in the paint dept. I guess the Hot Spray guy is out at Disney painting all of the trolley cars with that bed liner crap so im on standby waiting patiently for the time being other wise its bedliner in a can if I run out of patience.

/snicker

Looks like you've got a good install going there...

 

Got them in last night with the HotSpray coating ready for battle.





Aaron

 

almost there!

 

Looks Awesome!!

 

What size metal did you use?

 

The square tubing I am inclined to say was 2"X3" and the round tube I cant remember, I believe the diameter was about 1.5" you can see my finger in the picture and make a judgment, I will howerever get a measurement for you.

Thanks

Aaron

 

Those look pretty beefy! You should never wish you made them stronger.

Very nice work.

 

Those are good looking! Nice Job. WIsh I had a welding rig... I'd make everything...my roommate is a machinist though, maybe I'll just get him to make me some cool ˟˟˟˟e.

 

looks great, i like that you made them out of something different than 2x2 and 2in di tube (which still looks good)

 

did i miss something? don't these seem a bit short? http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3...n/P1010051.jpg

 

I want to say its the angle of the shot, but your right from that picture they do look way shorter than what they are supposed to be. But to keep you mind at rest they are the proper length I think they should be and will post some action shots shortly. Well soon being as oon as I get them welded on and can put them to use in FL. Acctually now that I think about it Im going to have to find something to drive on,,,,, maybe over the front of a civic.

Aaron,
Hope you kept the plans for those handy as I will be needing a pair too! Looking good bro! What did it cost you for the whole setup?
