Does anybody have these or have seen/heard og them? What is your opinion, they are bolt on to the fram which would be nice as I have more bodywork to do & it is a pain to work around sliders.

here is the link:

I've never seen them or heard of them, but when checking the site out, they seem REALLY expensive. If you want something bolt on, I would think that you could get some really functional sliders from 4Crawler that would be about half that price.

 

well I can get them for a lot less than that

 

I think that they should be fine, if you don't want to use them as actual rock sliders. Most things that the bigger companies make, i.e. Daystar, at least for sidebars are just good for steps. I'm sure the first time that you hit a rock with them they would at best dent, at worst, rip in half.

 

They are supposed to be actual rock sliders, they have the same thickness metal as roger's standard sliders. Daystar is just a vendor, not the maker. How do roger's standar sliders hold up?

 

Personally, I've seen actual "hard core" bolt on sliders for MUCH less than that...
like right here.

You could take a set of "weld on" and make them "bolt on" pretty easily, I'd think...

 

I can get these for $300, which isn't bad for bolt on, that is why I wanted to know if anybody has had any experiance with them before I buy them and they end up being crap or something.

 

You know Matt, after looking at them, for 300 bucks, they seem pretty decent. I was a little concerned when I read "rockcrawler styling"... but they seem ok. Anyone with any real experience with these?

 

My post was just from what I have seen happen to other similar products made by Daystar. Since I was unable to find any actual specs on them, I had to go with my past experience for the durability.

 

I know that most rock sliders are made with .120 or .180 steel. What is more common and how well does the .120 hold up. I am not doing any big rock crawling, I just dented my running boards a couple of time (suprise, i know), so I took them off and I want to protect my rockers & doors. the dents were from regular trail riding.

 

.120 should be fine for almost all wheeling other then slamming down repeatedly on rocks...even then they'll get wavy but will still hold up.

 

It will be fine for regular trail use. I can't tell from the picture, do they run the length of the rockers? If they stop too short, you'll just slide right off them into your rocker, rather than sliding off something and having your tire grip.

 

Ya - I was looking at that as well after reading some of Rogers technicall interpeations of sliders and sliders with kick outs. Ilike that they are round = 18% stonger than square, but I need to meadure where my back door stars to swing up vs. where the tube is in the picture. I think I couls be looking at about 6" of inprotected space, may not sound like much but that is all it took to take out my running boards last time. The sliders are not a lot cheaper than Rogers, so I may need to look closer at his

 

after looking at yours and these http://www.stubbswelding.com/rocksliders.htm

that where posted by someone else... they make yours look pretty weak, for the same price...

 

I had those for years when the guys worked for Kongs. Same people. They were fine for most things, but they were too short for my needs.

It's all big 2" tube. But like I said they were too short.

 

heres another vote for Stubbs, his sliders are awesome, never let me down, and talk about customer service, hes the best, and a very nice guy to boot.
