Finally finished my cheap sliders...and I got one other thing dun...

[Box Rocket]

Adam, are you talking about the sliders or the kid?

Both.

 

[Box Rocket]

sweet sliders.

and congratulations on the little one. Good thing you have an 80 cause now you can take her wheelin' in a year or two.

Huh? No need to wait. We had both our boys wheeling with us from about 3 months on. In a 40. Taking her along in the 80 is almost like not even wheeling compared to a 40.

Here's a trick once they're in a forward facing seat....... Once they fall asleep (and they will) it's easy for their heads to flop around. Nothing a long-sleeve T or a hoodie won't fix. Let's them keep sleeping and not get whiplash.

Bolt on or welded...
congrats on both.

Welded. Bolt on would have been to much of a PITA!

Adam,
I tried this trick a couple weeks ago in Moab, it worked great, but in the back of my head I was wondering what others might think, like if I got pulled over on the road on the drive into town!

Thinking about going this route since no one makes sliders for my FJ80 (3FE). How was the length of the 68" sliders from Adam? Would you say its perfect or would a slightly longer set be better?

Check out latinoguy's posts. I think he started a thread about it. He got in touch with Adam about the length, and Adam made them a couple inches linger so that they were the perfect length. Also, feel free to just call Adam up, I'm sure he'll probably remember the measurements.Good luck and let me know if there's any other way I can help!

Congrats on the sliders and the new girl! Don't worry about the girl....I've got two of them under 3 years old and they are great.

 

[Atoyot1031]

She's 6 months old now and just returned from Cruise Moab. She's pretty hardcore. While most of the obstacles were arousing some pucker factor from the other occupants of the vehicle, she was so hardcore, she just slept through it.

Good to meet you in person down there Nick. Too bad we weren't on any of the same trails.

I was just down at Adam's, 4xinnovations and he mocked up for bolt 95-97 sliders. So those should be in production soon. Super nice guy and really reasonable prices.
