FJ40, anyone running Metal Tech sliders? (1 Viewer)

[ampline]

I ended up with a set of Metal-Tech Sliders for my 40. Looking for some pics to figure out placement. Does anyone run them? Any pics?


I google image searched it and only saw 2 and just wanted to compare some different set ups before I burn in some welds...

Thanks in advance.

Have you contacted Metal-tech?

Yes, I've been running them over 10+ years. They are removable with tubes welded to the frame and bolted flanges. I tipped the outside tubes up considerably for better rocker/door protection.

Thanks for the pic!! Looks beefy! I can't really tell from the pictures. Did you put the wider end of the tube bump-outs towards the rear?

 

[Rock40]

Might be an old style, I think they main tube is the same from and back. No section is wider

Anyone else running MT sliders on their 40? Pics?

Am interested in this also

I have their 'deluxe' ones on my grey truck. I've seen the bumps outs toward the front and the back...personal preference. I have mine toward the front and they closely match the bottom width of my front fenders.

@S4Cruiser thanks. What are the black steel on bottom of the tub with bolts? Is that part of the metal tech slider?

Are yours welded on two places? How do they hold up

 

[S4Cruiser]

The black steel with the bolts is just angle iron. The rockers of this truck were decently bashed but not rusted. Instead of replacing, I cut a couple inches off and the angle covers the not so perfect parts that were left.

Yep, welded to the frame in two places on each side with the scallop plates that come with the kit. I haven't hit them on anything yet to say how well they'd hold up, but I'm guessing great. They are beefy!
