I wanted to share something positive:
I had a great experience with Toytec this last week.
4Runner 10 & Up
I noticed last weekend they were a distributor of RCI components. I have some RCI skids and have been very happy with them. I've been considering sliders for awhile and decided on the RCI sliders. I decided to order the sliders from Toytec so I called them on Monday morning.
I spoke with Drew, who was very helpful, answered all my questions, and took all the time necessary. At the end of the conversation, I mentioned this forum and got an additional 5% off. I expected 3 or 4 weeks for fab and shipping and all that.
Wednesday I got a call from Drew saying the sliders had shipped directly from RCI, he gave me the tracking number, and on THURSDAY I had the sliders in the back of the truck. 3-1/2 days from placing the phone call I had my new sliders.
On to the pics:
The driver's side one weighs 43lbs, the passenger side one weighs 51lbs.
I wanted the full tread plating, but I personally don't like the style of plating that RCI uses. And, I am trying my best to save weight where possible. So, I bought some ALUMINUM diamond plate (0.125") and cut out my pieces.
Thos top plates weigh 2lbs each.
I'm not brave enough to try and weld aluminum to steel, so I'll be welding tabs to the sliders so I can bolt down the plates with some stainless button head bolts. These are actually cabinet corner braces from home depot, but they'll do just fine and I don't have to make my own tabs:
I am going to get everything powder-coated textured black. I'll post some more pictures when done.
I can't say enough about the good experience and great service I got at Toytec and I'm very happy with the RCI sliders.
