My first off-road adventure in the 4Runner resulted in the destruction of the running boards (http://www.ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23475) so I'm going to have to increase sliders on the priority list.

I have found several that I like - here's the problem: I live in Ohio. (I'm sure that will get a lot of funny replies) I bet shipping from CO, AZ, or CA is insane - anyone know about how much we're talking? Could have them delivered at work with unloading capability if necessary.

I will be out in CO in a couple weeks, and was thinking if they are less than 70 lbs, I could pick some up and check them as luggage on the flight home. Anyone know the weight of a set of sliders and/or airline luggage restrictions (United if it makes a difference). Any recommendations on sliders made in CO? (already called Slee and ORS)

I can probably get them fabbed locally, but would feel more comfortable getting them from someone who does it every day.

 

I would recommend http://www.stubbswelding.com/ top notch guy, awesome slidders, AND you wont have to carry them home,lol

or talk to Jed http://www.armorology.com/
im not sure what the weight is, but either of these guys could tell ya..

 

$50-150 for shipping.

Don't even attempt to check them on a plane - I'm 99% sure they'll laugh at you for size/weight.

 

I thought I read that Demello ships anywhere in the US for $60. Check his website for more details. His sliders definitely rock. They look really good, especially with the wrinkle-finish powdercoating.

 

Sliders should go for under $60 shipped to the continental 48. Try DHL.

 

mine from marlin were shipped for about 60 bucks to TN

 

yep i know that feeling. lol. Demello doesnt do anyhting for 2nd gens. i ended up doing custom sliders, so i would ask around and see if anyone would be willing to make them for you localy, otherwise i would call Stubbs, BigRocks Offroad, also check the Rock Sliders Round UP


my sliders now

 

I will second the Stubbs sliders. May pay a bit mor for shipping but totally worth it. I would get them unpainted. I have found that no powder coating will with stand slider use. Painting them yourself makes touch up way easier.

 

That's the most beautiful thing that can possibly happen to running boards. Nice! Check with Stubb's -- he's used to shipping all over the place and his craftsmanship is outstanding.

I have a pair of brand new 4Crawler "Ultimate" Sliderz that i'll sell ya. I'm willing to take a $100 loss. I bought them with POR-15 treatment, black paint, and grip tape added to the outter bar. Made for a 2nd gen and never used due to my change of plans. Email me if interested.
