Cheap Sliders?
I would rather not pay $500 for sliders. Are there any good bolt on sliders that will not break the bank???? Weld on is fine but I would rather have bolt on so I can sell them when I sell my runner.  Jeeps

I think you'll find that on the whole, bolt ons are usually higher cost because they involve a bit more work to fab up. All the bolt ons I've seen are like $450 (metaltech) and up.
Your best bet if you're looking for the cheapest option is to get weld on sliders and then just sell them with the truck or if you really want to sell separate, cut them off at the mounting plates then sell them to someone who can weld new plates/supports on.
Check out the armor sticky for your options.

That's what I'm running too. But they're def. not the cheapest bolt on option. That being said, they're very nice quality and I'd highly recommend!
Shrockworks may be the cheapest bolt on if you get in on a groupbuy.
@ zopperman
is running those along with a good many others. Majority of folks are running weld ons though.

They do come bare and unassembled, so you'll spend time getting that all together, but totally worth the cost in savings.
A couple others have them on here as well.
@ aha2988
is one to mention. So check out his thread as well. If I remember right, he's got the kick outs.

definitely recommend these and I have certainly put them through there paces lol. truck liner isnt a bad choice but be warned.. getting in the vehicle wearing pants is easy but slide in or out of that driver seat wearing shorts, and let the inside of your calf slide across that truck bed liner and you'll wish you had just used regular paint lol.

How'd all the extra work go? Did you or a friend handle the welding or did you take it to a shop? How much would it cost, roughly, to have someone weld these suckers on?
Great deal.... looks like a solid product. I'm not some rock crawler.... I'm really more of a dirt and gravel off-roader with occasional encounters with tight spots (i.e. trees)... so, I think this fits me great!
Don't need $500-800 sliders when I'm not running up rocky trails in the Moab or somewhere else.

I prepped and then coated them with POR15 and then and then my husband helped me out by doing the aligning and welding. He's a collision technician so we did it at his shop.
I did get a training course on welding, but I'd have to say my work didn't look so well

Nah. That's just "custom" welding! Well, I'm sure I've got someone who can weld.... That's just an awesome price and looks great on your rig.

Cheap Sliders?
For what it's worth I was able to weld them on myself using jack stands floor jacks and a wooden block here and there. It's only tricky getting the top of the weld joints lol my build shows the steps I took welding them on so if you've got a friend with a welder you can probably knock it out
