you beat me to it I've been wanting to do just that but haven't been able to save fast enough between breaks and dumb cali smog rules

 

very nice job...Adam makes some great stuff. I have his sliders and 2 transfer case mounts on my '81...

 

what did it cost ya and whats the link,looks good

 

Nice sliders Bandit! Those are a really nice design and the plating looks great. Well have to test those out at the Mounds this summer.

 

O.K., so after washing the truck this past weekend, I discovered that some of you were right. The water did puddle up on the plates, and fill the depression with water, worse than I thought it would. Easy fix though, I will just drill a couple of 1/4" holes in the corner of each plate.

So, if you decide to do something similar with your sliders, make sure to include some type of drain holes/slots in your design.

 

Mine are quite holy:


Anyways, nice work!

 

hey I like the "holy" look! where did you find that stuff???

 

I drilled all those holes with a hand drill.

Just kidding, found the steel at my local hardware store. Here is the top view.

This is a very worthwhile modification. It significantly helps prevent rock chips on desert roads.

 

Damn! why did you have to temp me! now i'm going to hae to get that done.... = more cost haha... i like the top coat you got on there!! is that truck bedliner spray? and a strip of grip tape?? if you have time, check out my post... its somewhat related.. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/w...jipped-183233/

 

I know the feeling. The more modifications I find online the more I feel I have to do!

The paint is regular spray paint...can't remember the brand but it's metallic black. And there's a 1" wide strip of grip tape down the outside bar. The grip tape is pretty much never coming off, so when I repaint the sliders I cover the griptape with 1" wide blue masking tape, then peel it off after painting--works perfect!
