Ahhhh, i gotcha. Hypothetical Hippo in the room! lol. yeah, that might look great. You basically mean to weld a plate all the way across the top of the slider so it looks like a solid piece of metal on top of the outer edge tube? Yeah, I've never seen that. You have pics of that somewhere? Or are you saying 4xinnovations does that already?
here some ideas. i want mine to be tucked pretty good and not stick out much. not really meant for a step but for the looks some of these stick out to far cuz i think they wanted a dual slider/step setup http://www.toyota-4runner.org/attach...p-mod-sm16.jpg http://forum.ih8mud.com/attachment.p...1&d=1109644521 http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2364/2sliders003.jpg i been reading alot of off road mag from over the pond. so you can see its not uncommon over there http://www.4wdaction.com.au/ http://www.arbusa.com/Products/Slide...-Steps/26.aspx PS: sorry for flooding your page :( |
Page flooding is fine! haha.
Adam at 4xI is great. Im sure he can make you a set thats been plated. |
Went to a little event up here called Vermonster. Mudbog, rock crawl, monster trucks kind of thing. Heres the video of my buddys Sammy on the rock course. Im spotting him through. The end of the course was wicked hard.

These mice are killing me haha. http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...3%3C2335nu0mrj After taking everything in place took them out to fully weld them with this old timer. http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...%3A89335nu0mrj http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...3B652335nu0mrj Put the truck up on blocks to get easier access to the frame to weld them on. http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...86539335nu0mrj AAnd poser shots. http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...5%3A7335nu0mrj http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...A%3C3335nu0mrj http://images1.snapfish.com/23232323...%3B37335nu0mrj Action shots soon. |
sliders looks good. man i need to hurry up and get some stuff out of the way so i can get me some sliders lol
|
Yeah they're sweet. My trucks so low and long, so they add a lot of confidence, cant wait to do some belly dragging. I didnt get a chance to test them out other than 3 of my buddies jumping on them when I pulled in his yard. Haha. Im heading to an offroad park in southern New Hampshire on the 22, so I should be able to get some good pics then.
|
lmao, glad your friends are willing to be the tester dummies.
|
Hey we met the guy with the 85 when we were wheeling a class 4 in starksborough!
|
He lives in starksboro! And why wern't you there, thought you were coming?
|
yeah I wanted to come but I had work saturday and tons of hw to do today plus peter's cruiser broke a motor mount in mettowee etc etc
|
Good news, he found his camera, but no 3wheelin pics.
Edit: These photos were hosted on FB, and he deleted his account... so they dont show up any more. Bummer. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...84116827_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...58818019_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...44028437_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...26107360_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...13290576_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...15202464_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...62376370_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...76674794_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...90485903_n.jpg |
Made my doors quick release. Just cut the pin out and replaced it with a 7/16th (I think) pin. Wheel'd all day Sunday and absolutely love it. Should have done this YEARS ago.
http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps34e48784.jpg Top pin goes up from the bottom, bottom pin drops in from the top. Got that? http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps9b8decde.jpg Had to grind a chunk out of the head of the pin to get it to clear the hinge bolt. Close up of the pin ground down clearing the bolt. http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps359c8744.jpg AAnd door less! http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps27e0f42e.jpg The view from inside. Now once I get some had doors made I can switch them out easily. Not a lot of action shots. Too busy drivin' http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...psa991a7d4.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps6bb81688.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps4e834cbe.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps6b61cd0d.jpg |

I love this truck, man. One of my favorites on here :D
|
|
nice that you got snow. the trail i normally do has NO snow.. still waiting
|
Its been a slow start to the season for sure. I cant wait 'till we get some real accumulation.
Between this set of pics and the last snow pic, that snow had completely melted away. But The ground is more frozen now, so I think this snow will stay. |
Nice shots, man! Looks like it was fun.
|
THanks chef! The trucks a blast to drive, smiling every time I get behind the wheel.
Heres a shot from last year at this time during the motor swap! So happy to have the truck up and running! https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net..._8179780_n.jpg Should have some new goodies for the truck soon! Cant wait for spring. My parents gave me the "ok" to make trails on their property. They have about 70 acres, so after a few days of cutting, ill have my own playground! All the recent snow pics are from there. |
