Man i hate construction and traffic! Just got back from getting my sliders welded on but dont have time tonight to paint them, Truckee Thursday! 
arty: Hopefully i have time tomorrow before work.
Well, here they are, the first B.A.M.F. sliders for the 4th gen!(BL recommended for kickout model!) I love em!
Jerry welding away!
I finally got my B.A.M.F. lca skids "trimmed" to fit with my 4+ belly skids, sliced about an inch and a quarter so it will clear at full droop:
Eric cutting away with the plasma!
Hopefully ill paint them tomorrow and mount em, finally!!

He sure does! You need to get these skids, they take abuse and ask for more! I've seen it in person:

Lookin' good Chris! Can't wait to see everything mounted up & painted!
I feel bad for you & Zach painting the sliders on the truck, seems like a PITA (at least the top side, under the body). I was fortunate enough to have plenty of time to paint most of mine off the truck before they were welded on.

It wasnt as bad as i thought it would be. I need another can and another coat but it will hold while i go to work. Pics to come.

Your build is coming along very nicely! I really like the BAMF sliders with the kick outs. I still have to trim my BAMF LCA skids a little to fit the BudBuilt skid plate.

Thanks!! Slowly but surely im making it more capable. I have a few more things planned but ill enjoy it as is for a little while. Do you happen to have Toytecs panhard bar? I was looking over there and stumbled upon a new addition to my "to do" list, rear link kit!

You were probably in school!
I didn't have a lot of time, if I did I wouldve stayed for the TW meet and great! I'm gonna come down to see if Jerry's diff cover will fit with the 4th gen links and if he wants to build me some stuff from steel!! :thumb3: I'll let you know when I cruise down, maybe we can hit some trails!

^^Wow, those iphone pics via tapatalk suck. These are from the dslr. We've been trying to water ski atleast one of the mornings we have off and spend the rest either mtb biking or relaxing at the beach with the paddleboard. so here are some pics at the beach:
BBQ chicken and hotdogs:
New location:
During this pic it sounded like the fan was hitting the shroud and making a faint knocking sound but nothing serious. I moved forward a couple of feet, stopped and the sound went away. I might try to reenact the situation tomorrow and see exactly where its rubbing. It feels and sounds like its coming from the bottom of the shroud.
The mix of 885's, LR uca's and no front sway bar make for some decent articulation! Much better than before the uca's and with the front s/b!
Before:
After:
The front definitely has more flex and now i want to work on the rear! Either Toytec links or custom depending on cost, probably Toytec!
Good pic of the skids:
