Will these fit a 4th gen 4Runner???? I want a pair!!!!

 

They're 58" long... so get your tape measure out! I don't know how the frame looks on the 4th gen... They're may be stuff in the way... there not be... just check it out! I hope you can fit em! I just got mine in today! WEEE!

 

Thanks! Now I get it! :pat: Sorry, I'm a little slow.

I saw some pics somewhere where they ground down the pinch weld just above the bar so the slider could be mounted higher and tighter. Hmmm . .. where did I see that . . .

 

Quote by Wabbit: "I put on 1/4" scab plates"

I'm no structural engineer by any stretch. But, I was thinking that the surface area of the weld is greater by welding the scab plate to the frame. However, the surface area of the weld between the slider tubing and the scab plate remains the same as if the tube were welded directly to the frame. Why use plates? I saw a picture showing the tubing welded directly to the frame using gussets on the top side increasing vertical rigidity.

I think I need to go take Welding 101 at the local junior college.

 

Scab plates spread out the load. The frame isn't 1/4" thick, so the extra beef helps.

 

Well, I am an engineer and I work at an industrial fabrication shop and we use repads, poison pads, and scab plates all the time for many applications. On the rig, scab plates strengthen up a frame that is somewhere between 3mm and 5mm thick. The surface area of the weld is NOT the issue. The plates create a greater surface area for spreading out the load where the sliders are attached to the frame. Gussets on top do not spread out the load to the frame as well as putting gussets on the sides. I work as a fabrication engineer and see this kind of junk day in and day out.

 

Thank God for professionals!!! I appreciate the help Wabbit!

That makes a lot of sense.

 

i'd get a set but i don't have a welder

 

you can get a local shop to weld them on. or see if anyone from here can do it for you.

 

If anyone with a 4th Gen have gone out and measured, can you tell me? Id love to get these.

Also, anyone near Washington DC that has a welder?

 

I'm not sure what my plans are for then. I'm going through a job change and it's hard to know what things will be like. I'll definitely want to do some exploring when I get my mods done (motor, headers, lockers, sliders, tires, . . . ). Baja? Good luck with your mod weekend! Sorry I'm not around to lend a hand.

Oh, Pismo? Sand! Put on the paddle tires!!

 

anyone around gettysburg or hanover pa that can help me put um on or know of a good cheep shop? how much do you think a shop would charge?

 

For those of you that were thinking of ordering or are waiting check out this page...they've got 250 of em and are moving roughly 10 per day so do the math and you've got a little time left but they may make this price permanent if they can sell enough. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=14450.0

 

i want to get in on this! shipping to NJ is $55, but i'm assuming $155 is still an excellent deal right?

 

yes it is

 

Stubbs 84-89 4Runner sliders $99 plus shipping

Hey, what's up everybody that got the new sliders?!



Let's see 'em . . . . . even if you painted 'em pink!

I decided to install a 1" body lift before I put mine on.

 

Would it be possible to get this and then make them bolt to the frame? Maybe scab a plate to the frame with a larger size tube and then have the sliders slide (no pun) into the larger tube and grade 8 bolt them together? I think it would be nice to remove them to work on truck (body work-I have a hole in my cab that needs mending). Whadda think?

 

sounds like just as much trouble to install.....might not be as strong, im a business major.....any engineers got any comments?

 

I dunno .120 is pretty thin stuff. I remember gashing up a set of sliders I had on a pathfinder that were the same wall thickness as that.

Anyways no real need of sliders where I wheel they might deflect trees and stuff but that's about it.
