Ducmonsta's Build Thread-very pic heavy!

Duc,

Can you post a picture of your truck zoomed out with the new sliders installed (looking for stance). Much appreciated!

Honestly, I don't know. The guys at Oracle did all the work. I have found that light sanding is enough to keep primer on and then paint. However, just paint on the chrome that is on our trucks would be a pretty big no no.
I did this with the rear garnish. Believe me, I found out the hard way. That garnish was $130 mistake.

Bobby, what happened to the rear garnish, I sprayed paint mine couple days ago, am I in for some surprises?

As with any painting, prep is the most important part. If you did a decent job prepping, you'll paint will stick. If you're just plasti dipping, it's much more forgiving than paint.

Ducmosta, Great looking rig! How far do your sliders stick out do they stop others from dinging and scratching your doors with theirs?

Been busy cooking in the shop after hours. Nothing like a Craigslist purchase put to good use. Cut the middle of the oven to make one big one! Anyone hungry?

Yes, we did a two stage powder coat. First the black, then we filled in the warn logo with red and baked again.

More details on the ARB bumper install soon to come. I did some minor tweaking to the bumper trim. I really didn't like the way ARB tells you to cut the bumper in the instructions.

So typical of you to not like the way the manufacturer tells you to do things so you do it your way??? LOL Awesome job

Next, all the holes line up EXACTLY where they needed to be. Originally, I thought I might be able to install the sliders with the XREAS canisters intact. You'll see where the XREAS brackets used to sit on the frame. Unfortunately, the legs of the sliders mount at the same place the brackets of the XREAS system do.
Here is the pass side framerail.

I would recommend anti seizing the hardware before you install them. If you're really anal, run a tap through the factory frame threads.

It is also good to note that you'll be able to use Shrockworks skids with Metal Tech sliders. There was absolutely no interference from one to the other.

Toyota should take note from Metal Tech on how to properly apply powdercoat.
 
Someone forgot to update their build thread

Someone [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] forgot to update their build thread, so a good friend would help them out to update it. LOL

Ha!! He's going to be pissed! I was bugging him for a pic awhile ago.

I'm more interested in hearing the modifications on how you mounted!
