Any idea if they have to be the same sliders for all 10 or if they can be of diff varieties. I'm interested in getting a pair but don'y know what I need. I have a 2000 with the sr5 wide flares. is 58" specific to one model or is it a matter of preference? Anyone know how these compare with the likes of stubbs sliders?

I'm going to do some measuring today, but I would prob like the 60" DOM with a kick out and they already come with the gusset mounting plate etc.
I think where we are really going to save is on shipping.
Who's got the loading doc in phoenix?!?
We can do a welding party in Phoenix, or if that doesn't work out anyone is welcome to join me to Tucson for a professional welder to do the work.
He asks to be paid in green beer (heinekin) and a couple bucks thrown his way to cover all of the welding wire gas etc.

I've compared both and there is no real difference in the two just what you like.

I'm down for whatever, I'd just have to make a trip from yuma but it have to be a saturday for me.

Are these different from Trail-Gear? The prices quoted are EXACTLY the same as the Trail-Gear. Even the gussets are the exact same price.

I'm just curious if there is a difference.

Brian (wabfab contact) is also a Trail gear dealer as well.

Then why wouldn't we get them from Trail-Gear? They have free shipping. Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but if it's the same price, but we can get them all shipped to one location and then get them all installed together (in AZ anyway), that would be cheaper. Shipping is free from Trail-Gear for any purchase over $250, that's just 2 sets of sliders.

Sorry, I'm just not seeing a benefit to this?

I agree with Welin.

I got my sliders from 4xinnovations.com and his come with all the mounting plates and gussets for the same price as the ones from Wabfab without the plates and gussets.

I can contact him and see if he would be interested in hookin up a group buy.

FYI, I also got my tube doors from him as well so if any of you checked out my doors, you can expect the same exact quality!

I definitely want to support our vendors, but if it's the same product, for the same price, but I have to pay for shipping, that's hard for me to swallow.

I am a Trail Gear dealer and offer all the same benefits. I do not know if TG would ship you 10 sets of sliders on one ticket, since it is obvious that 10 sets would not be for one person, so you could take advantage of the free shipping over $250. Shipping on that much weight would be substantial and probably negate any profit. I know I will not do it, so if that is the way you want to do a "group buy" I suggest you contact someone else like Trail Gear.

You are mistaken in your comments here. I sell many types of sliders from several vendors at many different prices and some come with mounting plates and gussets and some do not, as they are plainly noted on the website on the pages for various vehicles. Please get your facts straight before spreading misinformation.

Individual items under $250 you must pay for shipping, whether at WabFab or TG.

Pm from wabfab:

"You get 10 or more orders for that exact order and I'll do $170 shipped a set."
