Finally Mounted my Sliders

Felix · 02-14-06, 06:04 PM

And I thought I'd post up some pics for comment. These used to be on Bob's truck before he put the 3-link in the rear. They were made by his son, Ryan.

Bob or Ryan, if you see these and I didn't mount them as they were designed to be, please let me know.

And again, these things kick ass!

looks good Felix!

2badfjs · 02-15-06, 11:07 AM

looks good.
the front body mount works out pretty well for mounting

Felix · 02-15-06, 11:28 AM

Wow, thanks Jim. I didn't expect feedback from a slider guru such as yourself.

I can't take any credit. They were designed and built by Ryan Bascom. They only frustration that I went through was due to that fact that I had no experience drilling through steel.

i like how you kept the factory step.
sharp bits and slow speed on the drill and a little bit of oil.......

nice!

Felix, they look very clean.

**Second picture down, Drivers front tire. Hope that leak isnt too bad, dont want you loosing your brakes of anything, it just caught my eye. Might just be the knuckle.**

fjman · 02-15-06, 01:29 PM

Those look great! I going to need to talk to him about some for the 60. With no lift yet, rocks are definately something on my mind...

good eye.......looks like my junk!!

Felix · 02-15-06, 02:00 PM

Yeah, I thought someone might catch that. It's a small leak from the knuckle mixed with a coolant leak that drips down and runs along the axle housing to the knuckle. Neither one is too bad. yet.

No worries, I'm not losing any brake fluid.

Andrew, I don't know if Ryan makes them to sell, but you could certainly ask. He built this set for his dad, along with the 3-link that made them no longer fit.

John Smith · 02-15-06, 04:55 PM

Those will serve you well. Bob certainly put them through hell.

Andrew, Ryan will make you a set if you want, he has made a few sets for folks.

Rosscanup · 02-16-06, 08:20 PM

John I e-mailed you the link to the pictures of my anti-wrap bar. It's a bit muddy but you'll get the idea. He used 1/4" wall steel tubing and big ass bolts and heim joints

H2o · 02-21-06, 12:32 PM

we want to see too.... post them up on mud!!!

Rosscanup · 02-22-06, 02:13 PM

At your request Seb. Now... when can you weld on my shock mounts?
