Of course nobody has 1 3/4" tubing in stock. . . .

just got the invoice today, my package should be here within a week!!
This question goes to those of you that have now installed them.
Have you gone off road and done some banging on these new sliders? I am interested, but would love to see some real world results first.

It's a rock-slider, not a rock-et... real world results are... they slide over rocks. The material TG uses is adequate for sliders on a 60 series. If you slam down on them hard they might bend a little. They're gonna scratch if you drag them across rocks. As long as your welding doesn't suck, and your driving doesn't suck, they'll do the job. They're cheap, buy'em or build'em, if you bend'em, replace'em.

I have a set of these on my FJC. Awesome quality for the $! Beefy and well made. They were insanely fast with shipping as well.
Now that Ive got a 62 I gotta get in on these...
Do they still stick out enough to stand up on for getting into the roof rack? Gotta think of the Mrs!
Could we get some straight on photos?

Now this is the real world kind of info that I was looking for. I just wanted to make sure that I was not going to need to buy a new pair every other time I slid on them. As for my driving style...the whole family is the rig when we go off roading, so I am rather gentle and thoughtful with my lines. The ladies like when you a gentle with them. The occasional roughness is fine, but we do most of that in the mud

Hey Gunnar,
I can assure you that the sliders will offer tons of protection. I am not easy on my truck and I am very confident these will hold up for many years. You are real close to me so if you want to come by to see them you are more than welcome. I may even be able to come by your place. Give me a call I have PM you with my number.

They are on to us...hehe. I couldn't believe they did free shipping with these.
seriously, good thing we got them while it was free shipping. I wonder how many peeps bought them due to this post alone?
s***, i hate this crap, i have to redo my crumpled exhaust to make room for the front outrigger and before i get it finished they up and change the free shipping deal, you guys suck.

sorry matt...
Any "straight on" photos?
Dammit. Hate when people catch on and up the ante...

Man those are some sweet looking sliders,but.... is welding to the frame really a good idea?I'm pretty good friends with a body guy that says that frames are made with special spring steel that is made to flex a little.He says welding will over time most likely cause it to crack.Has anyone else heard of this?

Some have indeed done some special engineering attempts. I'd definitely go with doing a TIG weld rather than a cheap stick job though! At least you'd know it was done right the first time...and you could meet any needs of the different metals (if any).
For those that have installed them, how much longer does the front outrigger need to reach the frame? Im pondering asking if TG can cut one a little longer than usual so i dont need to go source more tubing.

I got mine in this week, but I don't have time to go by the local welder so I won't be posting anytime soon
I would say 4" extra would be plenty of length to reach the frame.

Thanks, i figure it wouldnt hurt to ask if they could send me a couple long pieces.
