been tweakin' on the sliders, again...... (1 Viewer)

If i have the truck laying on one of the sliders on a rock, then one of the outriggers will touch the pinch weld, but not bend it.

Concrete, not bashing your sliders - I think they are cool. Just saying that if there is a vibration, with anyone's sliders, then there is a fitment issue. The issue could be due to using ubolts that are not the ideal length/width combo, or something is designed so it can't be tightened quite enough etc. Just trying to offer up ideas of things to look at.

Hey, anything is better than mine. Mine are all bent up.

Hey, that's because they are used, and that's good.

No offence taken junkster, i agree and that's why i wanted to get to the bottom of the fitment issue. I found out that the front of the right outrigger was just touching the body, so i put a washer on the back of the mounting plate and it's all good now. So the next set i make i'll be sure on all clearances before i tack weld.

Later

I was planning on bending some tube to add the extra side protection like slee and hannahs have.
