Victory 4x4 Aluminum Blitz Slider Option Now Available!
We are currently working on an aluminum option for our Blitz Sliders. A great option for those looking to save weight, while still providing lots of protection. They will be the same thickness as the steel version but will have additional gussets inside for strength. The legs and mounts would remain steel. Aluminum would add $400 to the overall price.
The aluminum boats weigh under 20lbs each (steel are 48lbs each)!

Yep, definitely interested. I'm not a hardcore offroader, so aluminum would be fine for what I need and lighter weight and less rust would be great. Only option out there now looks like Green Lane Offroad, so it seems like there's not a lot of competition in the space.
Any reason why you're looking at the Blitz, and not the Strike as a platform for aluminum sliders?

Yes, for strength we want the mounting plates/legs to be steel. The Blitz slider is a two-piece design and will allow for this.

They will be available bare (ready to coat) or powder-coated.

Aluminum Blitz Slider Option Now Available!
Our Blitz Sliders are now available in aluminum! The aluminum version will have aluminum outer boat sides with additional gussets for strength and the legs and mounting plates will remain steel. They are available in bare metal (ready for coating) or in a two-stage zinc primer & powder coat finish. We have also updated the LED rock lights, making them smaller and even brighter!

Very cool option. I personally would always stick to steel for this application given how much use my sliders get. However, I can certainly get onboard with the weight savings. Im assuming you all are comfortable in saying it would be ok to use a Hi-Lift on these to lift the vehicle?
