Before you buy check out Bump It Off Road. Mike makes some GREAT products!! My sliders are uber beefy and were very well priced.

Glad I saw this thread before ordering up some sliders as I was originally considering rocky road! I thought the cat protection looked a little weak on their website. Now its between white knuckle and BIOR..sounds like you cant go wrong either way.

Thank you newtomelx. They are priced at $625.00 on our site. Thinking about offering a MUD coupon that would bring them down to $599.99 for the first 5 orders. I'll be posting this info in the SOCAL80's section soon. We need to get a 93-94 in here to confirm a couple of things before we offer for those years.

Cheers,
Brian

Don't forget about us 91,92.:cool:
 
I've seen Brian's sliders and they are a work of art. Hurry up and make them for my 100.

Sorry, I'm having trouble keeping track of manufacturer name vs name of company owner since so many of you are on first name basis.

Wait did I sense something about a group buy for 80 sliders?>>?
I've been on MUD for almost 2 years waiting for a GB on 80 sliders, after originally thinking about Rocky Road and then reading more about them I think I've opted out, these however look great!
What about shipping to the east coast, that's been a deal breaker for me in the past.

The Rocky Road sliders are TOTAL GARBAGE!!! I have them right now and horribly regret buying them. The outer hoop only attaches in the middle with some flat stock and is bent on both sides. The duel cat skid is a total joke. I crushed it on the very first obstacle. I didn't even slam the skid. I slimply slid it up onto a boulder and the skid just crushed in from the weight of the rig. I smashed both my cats and now they rattle and i have a bad exhaust leak. It also caused two of my 3 rubber exhaust hangers to be ripped off causing my exhaust to hang down and rattle on the frame crossmember. The actual arms that connect the sliders to the frame are made with thin 1" square tube. Those mounts are totally useless and don't even slow the sliders down from just bending and slamming up against the body when you drop down onto a rock. The frame attachment points are also horribly thought out. The exhaust skid is literally just suspended in the air with no support on the far side. I had to weld the skid to my drop brackets just to give it some strength on that side. Both of my sliders had a decent 1/2" gap between the slider and the rocker panel. Now they are smashed up against the rocker panel. I have had to add plating, more tubing, bolts, additional welds, and new hardware in multiple places to make them functional on the trail. I could have bult a WAY better set for 1/3 the cost. The RRO sliders are the biggest piece of junk I have ever purchased on any of my trail rigs. If you call in and complain about the quality their response is, "Well... what did you think would happen to them when you hit them on rocks." WTF!!! They are ROCK SLIDERS!!! They should have been designed to be smashed on rocks with no ill effect. Long story short; DO NOT buy the RRO sliders. You could make a better set with some pvc pipe and super glue. They say they are super beefy. That is a total lie. The main tube is 1/4" wall (trailer hitch tube) and strong but everything welded to it is a flimsy joke with ZERO effort and thought put into function and strength. Can you tell I'm not happy with the sliders?

Thanks for saving me, I was just about to pull the trigger on them. I guess I'll wait for a group buy and hope shipping wont kill the deal for me.
 
White Knuckle All the Way!!

Got to throw another vote in for John at WKO. His sliders are nice and what really sold me on them, aside from his great responsiveness and customer service, even before the sale, was that he makes them for the 91 and 92 model 80's. Most of the big boys don't cater to us FJ80 folks and John does. Got mine bare steel and they fit like a glove.

When I go to do sliders for my 3rd Gen, I will be going back to John.

Thank you,
Brian

That would be friggin awesome!! I would be willing to drive to pickup at a freight location too if that helps.


Also since the CVT group buy is this month can or would you extend this to April so I can afford to eat and heat my house in the mean time?!
