I was wondering if the Stubbs sliders require you to cut the pinch weld as required with the install of Trailgear sliders? I couldn't find any install info in referernce to the Stubbs sliders. I guess Sonoran is the only place selling them now.

 

I have installed lots of sliders and never cut the pinch weld as IMO there is no need to do so.

 

What wabbit said is true. I have a set of stubbs on my 4runner and the pinch weld didn't need to notched. I order mine directly from Richard (if i remember his name right). Just tell him what length you want, if you have the factory fender flares and if you want the kick out.

 

My Trail Gear sliders didn't require the pinch weld to be cut.

 

What's different between the ones for fender flares and ones that aren't?

 

I just installed mine...about 1/4-1/2" below the pinch weld. Didnt need to be cut.

 

Basically, just the length. The rear flares on mine had to be trimmed a bit to fit correctly. (I should do the front but they don't cause any problems).

 

That's what I thought. I was just looking into buying some off someone "marketplace" and I just wanted to make sure they'll fit properly. I think I'm going to pass. Good deal if your close to PA, on a pair of SKO's from Stubbs. Thanks for your help!

 

Yea, definately make sure that when you do your install, they are at leat a 1/4'' below the pinch weld. They mounted mine flush with it, now they bash against the pinch weld when I hit bumps. Once I put my body lift on it'll go away, buts its really annoying

 

Buy them from Stubbs Welding direct and you don't have to cut the pinch weld. These are Stubbs sliders on my 2004 Tacoma.

i cut the pinch weld on mine and i would do it again to any sliders i would install. i would because its easy to build the sliders stronger with the addition of a piece of flat bar welded to the frame for renforcement + gussets. its true you can do this without cutting out the pinch weld. i just think its that much stronger if you do it that way and can mount the tube a bit higher on the flat bar. than at the bottom of the frame. if that doesnt make sence ill post some pics tommorow to show you an example why i did

 

heres a quick right up on instalation for All Pro's sliders. cutting the weld is up to you but like i said before i would do it http://allprooffroad.com/index.php?o...ask=view&id=63
