That don't make sense !
You either bolt them to the frame or weld them on. No other method
will work. Check out stubbswelding.com

Richard makes the best sliders available. Mention yotatech and he will make you a good deal. BOught mine for around $270.00 - shipping to Tennessee

Checkout my sliders, no drilling, no welding. And no, I don't sell them. You'll have to have somebody make them and that will mean $$$. Any of the commercially available sliders whether bolt on or weld on are fine.

Yes, you pretty much need to build a clamp-on slider to fit the exact vehicle. I've found a lot of variation in the height and thickness of the Toyota frames. Plus different years/models have different things on the inside and outside of the frame rails, so placement gets tricky. The variation is mostly due to the way the boxed frame is fabricated. To make it, 2 C-sections are put together, facing each other, and then the top and bottom edges are welded. So the top and bottom are often not uniform and the thickness can vary depending on how the 2 sections were mated.

I have run bolted-on sliders for about 8 years now (drilled frame) and have had no problems. I have changed sliders once in that time, when I went from 1" body lift and round tube sliders to 3" body and square tube sliders:

Another vote for Richard Stubbs at
http://www.stubbswelding.com

He has proven himself over and over as *reliable*
Excellent product and his customer service puts many many others to shame.
