Thanks go to Box Rocket and others who have provided great ideas for cheap sliders. I decided to purchase a weld together 68" DOM kit from Adam at 4xinnovations.com. The price is extremely reasonable. A friend and I ordered two sets and my cost to the door was $200.
Here's a pic of the kit from Adam's website:
I built an exhaust skid plate from 3/8" for the passenger side. Although replicating the angles and building around the exhaust were somewhat of a PITA, overall if you have caveman welding skills and tools such as myself, the project comes in around
1/2.
Here in Aspen there are two types of people:
1. Extremely rich people
2. People who work for extremely rich people
My friends and I fall into the latter category.
A fellow 80 series owner and newbie here at Mud was having about 1.257 metric linear s***-ton feet of aluminum powdercoated for his rich employer's new entertainment tent...so we threw the sliders in as well (FREEBIE)!
Here they are after being powdercoated...
And here's a pic of the skidplate...
