What coils are you using then? They also have to be from the V6, 4WD, 16" wheel model.

I bought the Revtek kit used already installed in another set of stock coils and shocks. I just swapped them in for my old coilovers.

00Runner: How much are you selling your stock coils for and how many miles on them? I am going try the Franks on my wife's D-Cab Taco...or maybe my 4Runner since the SAWs are starting to piss me off.

Well... my sliders are on the way, but I'm worried about having them installed here in New Orleans. The 4x4 shop I called didnt even know what rock sliders are, because the only off-roading here is mudding. But, they said they do lots of welding, so should I trust them to weld my sliders on for me? They said $65 an hour.

I could wait until I go on my road trip to Atlanta and have a better shop weld them for me.????

If they do a lot of welding, they should be able to do the sliders no problem. Are you going to use backing plates? The process is very simple: http://www.geocities.com/transalper/sliders.htm

BTW, nice t-case armor. I put in some 1/4" spacers on the rear bolts and it clears the t-case. Also allows for mud and debris to escape.

Ok, so even without previous slider welding, they should still be ok. I hope. When you say backing plates, do you mean the scabs?

Yup, I mean the little square plates that are welded to the end of the mounting tube. Good luck!
