4x4 labs sliders instructions / how to? (1 Viewer)

[Jeff Elliott]

Hi All - Have just about finished my 4x4 Labs bumper and now need to build the sliders. I contacted them a couple of times but didn't ever get any build instructions for the sliders. Anyone here built a set and have instructions or any "how-to's" running around here? Searched but not much out there on these.

Thanks!

And because everyone likes pics, here's the almost finished rear bumper:

Anybody know of a install doc? Tips or tricks? I'm struggling with the passenger side specifically. Thanks in advance!

I have a set mounted that Luke built at his shop so if you need some photos of what they should look like when they are finished just let me know.

Thanks @Irish Reiver - I could use some from the driver's side for sure. Here's a pic of what I have, some of which could be left over from the bumper (It was all packed together so it's hard to determine what's what). I know I'm missing some bolts as the shipper said the slider package popped open and they lost some.

My biggest issue is the large solid brackets don't seem to fit in the keyways of any of my brackets - do I need to grind them down to fit?

Thanks!

Here are some from the passenger side. This one looks the more complicated due to the cat protector.
Drivers side will be along shortly.

Here are the driver side shots.

Hope these help..let me know if you need any measurements etc.

Good luck.

Thanks a ton @Irish Reiver !

Still working on the driver's side and I have a few issues... One is my problem (drop brackets) and the other I'm not sure. Paging @4x4labs to see if he can point me in the right direction

First, I have drop brackets... I'm going to have to fab something up to work around this. I know other manufacturers have a drop bracket workaround - any pics would be appreciated!

Now, my middle bracket doesn't look like the one Irish Reiver posted. Mine hits the body and isn't keywayed in the right place (or I'm doing something wrong)... I mounted it in the same place he did

Only the small rear brackets fit the keyways in the plates that mount to the frame - did anyone else have to make significant adjustments to get them to sit flush with the frame brackets??

I'm pretty confident I've got everything in the right place as the front and back brackets work (except for the drop bracket being in the way in the front):
