a couple new mods... *SLIDERS AND LOCKER*

This past week I had sliders fabbed up for the Runner, and threw a Lock-Right in the rear. Definitely money well spent in my opinion. They helped at Hollister this weekend. Here are some pics...







Testing them out at Hollister...




A little carnage...

They look hot. I've gotta learn to weld and get some stuff done. Hey, how much did your front superlift run? I've been thinking about picking it up.

Great job! Looks awesome and way to break them in!

Noticed you are in SLO, how is Garcia Ridge and Big Falls now after the rains?

O yea, I was looking at the pictures again and it looks like it's time to take the valance off although the bumper lights do look a bit odd when it's off on that front end.

Andrew, the Superlift kit is nice. If you want to stay IFS... I like the one-piece crossmembers it uses.

M threezy, a friend of mine in my club made the sliders for me. He does awesome work, so I thought I'd see what he could do for me. They definitely exceeded my expectations. The Lock-Right is a lunchbox-type locker. If you don't know what they do, a locker basically locks both tires (R & L) together under power to give you more traction.

FirstToy, I haven't been to Garcia Ridge or Big Falls yet, but I keep hearing about them. Might be worth a trip...

Miles, my Runner is my DD too. Just so you know... As for the valance, it's staying on because it covers all the ugly that's behind it. I don't mind it being scratched. My bumper is what is tweaked from Hollister. That's why my turn signal is all crooked.

Oh, more pics can be found HERE.

I have the 3.0L backed by the auto. I get about 11 city and 16 highway. I have been getting the same mileage since I brought the truck home. Even after the lift and tires, it hasn't changed.
