Nice sliders! I like the hybrid design. That's how I'm doing my next set of sliders.
I know it's too late for you, but one thing I did was mount the square tube real close to the pinch weld so that as the sliders deflect upward, the pinch weld will take some of the stress. I put some cut in half fuel line tubing on the pinch weld to prevent squeaking.

The guy I talked to said it's fine in the cold, as long as you didn't mess with the windows when they froze. Once it got warmer you could open them. I don't want to take the chance cracking the vinyl, so I made a nifty storage spot between mine and my neighbors garage, out of the way so I could keep the hard top as well.
at least ..Thanks Man .

Very nice to see that your son has taken an interest in your truck. I wish mine did. He's 20 now and still don't care about my truck! I guess he's not going to get it when it's time for me to hang up the keys, my daughter will!!! Hopefully one day he will be a Fire Fighter.
