It would be cool to have more GX specific options.

 

[123ROBERTELEE]

Yeah I might hop on the slider train also I personally do not like the front kickout and would just want the rear and a few braces for the outer tube ... The front kickout might look better in person though

oh now your gonna be picky !? ... Welcome to Burger King Offroad how can I take your order ! ... LOL jk

a single kick out would be easier to make ... I guess i just like symmetry ... and i thought a front and rear kick out might prevent the wheels front getting hooked in some situations ... but also I guess i can see where it might get in the way in another situation ... im sure both could be an option without much effort in changing design

Know that anything i make for my vehicle on this Build that anyone might would like for themselves ...can be made again if you want one ... just putting that out there ... I'll just have to put a price on it

i thought about putting a center tube support and i might still but there is only 2-1/4" between the tubes in the center ... and ones its plated and all tied together it should be super solid

But now im self conscious about it so im gonna add one ... thanks brad lol

If you want you can have ... we'll come up with a price for them ... 123robertelee has already put in a request for a set but with a single kick out

Ok so iv recently decided to replace my front control arms with a total chaos set up ... and my cv boots are slang'n grease all over I was just gonna replace the axle asymblys but from reading other forms on the topic it sounds like staying with stock axles is the way to go bc it's a better quality than after market unless you pay way more ...
so what is the way to go ? ... if something needs fixing I alway like to upgrade for stronger replacements of course ... looks like there is some rebuild harware for the OEM axles out there to help tuff'n them up like silicone boots ... if I'm gonna do it I wanna spend a Lil more and do it right ... please educate me

How many pounds are these rock sliders?

 

[THeGeNTLeMaN]

How many pounds are these rock sliders?

Not sure yet but iv got a large scale at work I can weigh them ... they are quite heavy bc I opted for 1/4" on the 2×2 instead of retangle tube ... but that can be changed to a light material ... everything else is fairly light weight ... what is a normal weight?

 

[THeGeNTLeMaN]

Uppers and lowers ...
