Thanks for posting so many great pictures! It really turned out great in my opinion! Sorry for the lack of installation documentation, I will actually be doing a write up + install guide on these this spring which I'm sure would have been of great help.
We have people swing by asking to purchase and have the sliders installed and it's no joke - it's an all day job even for us!
Cheers on the jack stand method, it's a great way to do install them. We use thin pieces of wood between the slider and the jacks to dial in the angle and then burn em to the frame. I did my Marlin Crawler sliders back in 2004 and they are still going strong, no dents, and they get used a lot! Looking back, it was so worth it to get em installed!
I just shared this thread on our Facebook page
Kudos!

Thanks a lot !!! I think your products are great quality and for the price of the sliders they cant be beat. It was a tuff project and a whole lot of cutting and welding but I am addicted to that part of owning off road trucks. I could imagine after getting all the miters and locations of outriggers down pat you could make these for a cheaper alternative kit for the 80.....if the buyer likes to weld.

Just figured I would update on the performance of these sliders. They are Great! I have been beating on them for a season and a half of wheeling in New England. Some serious rock bashing. They are still straight but have a descent amount of dents on underside. No deflection on body to date. With the 5 outriggers they have not moved AT ALL.
