Last -for now- I wanted to get some sliders. I tracked down a set of Shrockworks sliders on Facebook Marketplace, which showed minimal wear and saved me some dough. I was a little concerned with the design of the sliders, seeing as there are only two legs to bolt to the frame, but my research also showed that people were happy with their performance, and the craftsmanship is fantastic. Lightly used 5th gen sliders are very hard to come by, so I snagged them.



If my motives were purely performance based, I probably would have kept looking for a set with the upward angle, but with a 1.5 year old now in tow, I know he will be needing a step to get in the truck sometime down the line, so I purposefully looked for flat ones with a tread plate. I ordered a new set of hardware from Shrockworks so I didn't have to reuse the old stuff, and I needed new stick nuts anyways (those seem like a one-and-done deal). Once the hardware arrived, I rattle canned the stick nuts, as they tend to rust like crazy based on what I have heard.





Sliders bolted on, ready for the next adventure! Roughly 75,000 miles on the clock now, 50K since I purchased it in 2017. We've been all over Colorado adventuring in this thing, and there's still so much more to see. Looking forward to a MOAB trip in the future.
