Who Has Sliders?

[M1911]

So I’m thinking of the bud build... bolt on, no drilling, and seem like some it’s strong ..... change my mind

Don’t think that because the BudBuilt sliders are bolt on that they are an easy install. They aren’t. I took one look at installing the BudBuilt sliders and decided to pay my mechanic to install them. It took him a full day to get them installed.

I like the BudBuilt sliders, but I don’t want you to have the impression that you can just bolt them up in 30 minutes. The install will take hours.

What solutions exist for making sliders not slippery when covered in snow/ice?

Friction/grip tape. I had it on the sliders and ends of the rear bumper of my last truck. Worked really well. Provides an excellent durable surface so the nice paint/powdercoat doesn't get scratched as people get in and out. Get a good brand. And, when the abrasive wears off where it gets frequent use (like, at the drivers door), you can peel it off, squirt a fresh coat of Rustolem, give it a day to dry, then put a fresh piece down.

I just bought another 4" wide roll, gonna put it on the top flat deck of my RLC rear bumper, then the rest will be used on the steps in my garage.

Well said.

Yea that one piece, 3/8” (9.5mm) frame plate is no joke. That, and the triangulated six legs that support the main tube make it what it is.

Anywho, now that I am at the shop full time. I’m starting up installations of our armor, suspensions, really anything.

So if anyone wants me personally to work on your 200, we are in western North Carolina and I’d be happy to help.

I’ve line-x the tops on my 2500HD when my wife slipped and sprained her ankle really bad one year

My BudBuilt sliders are diamond plate, which helps a bit.

I sent a note to Bud the other day, I may see you guys at some point this summer. Sliders, skids, maybe a suspension. Will give plenty of warning.

YAY! This is precisely what I was hoping to hear. I'm not quite ready yet, but undoubtedly will be in touch in the next couple months.
