has anyone had any dealings with this company ? was interested in their flush ( no step bar ) sliders ...

80 Series Rock Sliders: Landcruiser 80 Series Rock Sliders

I got sliders from Trail Tailor aka Jason aka @reevesci. They are perfect. But you'll have to wait a while...

IIRC @NLXTACY said something about them.

Not I. We just installed White Knuckle on @Dr Gil's 80

For some reason I thought you mentioned something about the other brand in the post about WK.

Is it the weekend? I just bought 3 Yamaha xt's for a steal. A 550, a 250, and a 125. I probably paid less than you did for your sliders.

btw , are running boards with the brackets worth anything to sell on cl ? I'd think they wouldn't be , but I don't know ...

I took mine to the dump along with my fabulous stock roof rack. I took my 3rd row seats to the junk yard. They didn't want them but I talked them into it to get them out of my garage.

I just looked on ebay some leather 3rd rows are going for $600...

Yeah, I've seen someone selling a booger on eBay also! Doesn't mean someone will actually buy it.

Interested in your idea for homemade flares. I've been thinking this over too, I just haven't came up with anything.

Best homemade flare idea I've ever seen is to take rubber wall base and screw them onto the fender lip.

Washed it and ordered an XXi stage 1 fuel pump and Moonlight Fabrications Airbox

@onedaatmc The running boards are mostly Aluminum. Strip the steel and take to Metal Recycler to get paid if they don't sell

I prefer Lowe's since that is who signs my paychecks.

No dude. No. Just say no man
They are garbage. I'd rather have your stock running boards. Plenty of bad news on here about that group

 

[LS1FJ40]

White Knuckle would be who I would get if I wasn't able to get Trail Tailor sliders.

 

[onedaatmc]

yeah nice idea ... but I'll probably just chuk em .... the seats are on CL ... if they don't sell then thats fine, I'll find surfpis 's house and leave them there ...

Brilliant freaking business idea: Measure the wheel wells, cut four lengths of wall base and throw in a couple handfuls of sheet metal screws and sell them as a "kit".

This is a great idea for a 14 year old to fund his 80 obsession...
