Like everyone else who has bought sliders, bumpers, tires, etc. I went through all kinds of debates in my mind over what features I wanted and what I really needed. Most important to me was I didn't want them to look like "steps". But at the same time I wanted to use them as a step! Didn't want it to stick out to far, wanted ot to stick out far enough to step on, you know what I'm talking about. but most importantly, I wanted them to be strong (even though I live 300 or 400 miles from the nearest f*****g rock!
So I checked out the options and looked at every picture I could find of all brand of sliders. I really liked White Knuckles first and I was sold on them. Then I started thinking they looked like they stuck out a little too far and I was concerned about the leverage thing. And with the 3/16 wall outriggers...... They do seem plenty strong enough though by the abuse (sorry.. "treatment") I've seen in the pictures here on MUD. And they deffinetly make a great step.
Slees looked like they fit close in and fairly tight. Difinetly what you want for strength so then I was sold on those but was concerned about being able to get my big feet on them to use as a step.
Bump Its looked just about right - for my feet - and for strength since he uses 1/4 inch wall tubing on the outriggers and the bottom tube and the stick-out is just about in between the WN's and Slee's.
So I shot the wad and Mike had them built for me about 3 weeks later. He shipped them on a Monday and I had them 3, count them - 3 - days - later. Colorado to south Florida. Yee Hawwww!!
I had them shipped to my truck dock at work and brought them home in the back of the truck.
