Slider DIY frame bracket set (1 Viewer)

[Flank]

I am looking make a project out of some sliders, but don't want to fab the bolt on brackets. Who currently has bolt on frame brackets available?

My understanding is that one vendor used to, but when I recently posted on their vendor forum, they did not reply, and now I don't remember who it was.

I thought it used to be Metal Tech

Yup, that was it! There was an interest thread in Vendor forum here:

4xinnovations makes a nice DIY kit for $200 This is what i was thinking of starting with. I like the way the mounts cradle the frame, nothing hanging down.

I have the whole 4x Inovations dom slider weld on package on my truck and it has held up well for a few years now with lots of bashing

Just order some of these from 4xinnovations today. Can't wait for them to get here!
Should be fun trying to make them work on my 94 with the single cat.

My neighbor ordered the Metal Tech mounting plate kit when we built his FJ80 sliders last summer. I would assume they are still available. From memory it was $180 for the 6 plate kit with u-bolts.

Old thread rez, at least I searched, right?

Does anyone have instructions for the 4xinnovations diy kit? I bought the bracket and legs kit from Adam but it did not come with instructions. The instructions on his website are not for the diy kit.

I was going to check fitment today and realized I did not know what to do with the smaller pieces. I assume they are for the rear most brackets.

I will call Adam on Monday, but was hoping someone might have a pdf to share.

I would not expect much in the way of help from 4xinnovations. I tried and got a useless response that pointed to the finished slider install PDF. It left a very bitter taste in my mouth about them.

However, if you read it carefully, it does give direction on where the brackets go. If you fit them per the instructions and hang the slider tube under the folded section of the rocker, with some adjustment, they'll fit up. I put the project off for 2 years because I was worried it would be too much of a pain in the arse, it was not that bad.

In conclusion, don't expect anything in the way of hand holding from 4xI.
