What would you do?

[drohweder]

I'm getting Simon's sliders so....

Would you weld them to the frame or Bolt them on. Pros and cons. I would have made a poll but that option seems to be absent. I feel discriminated again for not having a silver star. Why does it all have to be a black thing? Can't you see my black star????

Bolt & weld

BTW cough up the 20 bucks it is more than worth it. Look at it this way 20 quesions a dollar each Pay up you'll feel better

It is more of a funky brown color. Mud maybe.....

Hey I know, why doesn't someone steal this for their avatar

I would not weld to the frame unless you are an experienced welder. the heat will cause a hard spot on the frame and will be prone to cracking. Most metal fab shops will not weld to frames either and if they will you should find another shop... My father has owned a metal fab shop for 20+ years and I have convinced him to weld to my frames a few times for breakline hangers ect. but I still wouldn't recomend it.

i've heard simon has a difficult time in shipping his products, thread is somewhere here. so i hope you will have sliders to work with. is so bolt them, i agree with jetboy.

Simon is a super cool guy. He is really busting his butt to keep up. I am aware of the thread. I think demand rapidly outstripped his production and he couldn't keep up at first. Not sure where he is now but I am in no hurry.

Thanks for the advice. Guess I'll bolt them on. Dan

have you personally dealt with simon or is this hearsay?!

 

[drohweder]

Its easy to bitch about anything on a forum like this. I have not ordered anything yet from Simon but having met him personally on a run I will likely give him my business. He is no crook, that much I could ascertain from my dealings with him. Now I just need to get my exhaust rerouted to make room for those sliders!

My sliders are welded to the frame. Used a plate to weld to the frame and then welded the tubing to the frame. Works great for slaming into trees and landing on rocks which I have done plent of times. Even bent the drive side one up when I had a BL and it took another guy and I to jump up and down on it a couple of times to level it back out.

Metal Tech made these for me.

Looks very stout! Love the mud accents on the paint job by the way!

I too would weld them.

Thanks for the Avatar Man!!!
