Now that I have monstalined my truck I was able to get around to prepping my sliders. On Saturday I went through about 50 lbs of 40 grit aggregate getting the mill scale and surface rust that had accumulated cleaned up. I then applied two solid coats of zinc primer, two coats of flat black top coat and then two coats of rattle can bedliner. The sliders have traction when wet. I am really happy with how they came out, and they are easy to touch up when they kiss the rocks.
On Sunday afternoon I installed the passenger side first, definately can be done by one person, but it would have been much simpler with an extra set of hands. Fortunately I happen to have a pretty good trans jack that I used for the heavy lifting. I had no issues with the pinch weld that others have mentioned, but I was concerned that the radius arm drop brackets that are on my truck were going to get in the way of the forward most passenger mount. I ended up with 1/4" clearance...so no problems.
I thought I was home free, until I lined the,drivers side slider up, and realized that the front u bolt needs to pass directly through the drop bracket
I guess this means I am going to have to get slee arms or caster correction brackets that bolt onto the axle, rather than drop the frame mount like my current setup.

I should have gotten the full dimple when I bought mine, other than that I love the pure brute these sport.

I have three dogs that hop in and out of the truck, a
with petite feet and a little one on the way. I was worried that little feet and paws getting caught in the sliders, hence why I went for the full plate. happy that I did...now if only I could get the drivers side installed!!! You are right...these things are definitely brutes.

OK now I'm a man like you.
Since I finally got that PT spool in last weekend today I managed to get the IPOR skid plate mounted and since my nuts were SOOOO BIG I went ahead and did the OPOR sliders too, all by myself I might add.
Now tomorrow if I have any hope or chance of getting out of bed I will literally have to roll out and hope my feet can catch me!
