Just Painted & Installed New C4 Fab Rock Sliders and Fuel Tank Skid

STX4Runner said:
I'm interested in that gas tank skid. I pretty much destroyed my RCI in Moab last month. I'm looking for one that has reinforcement on all edges as mine bent pretty severely along the leading edge where it lacks a formed edge for strength. Those sliders look great too.

Our fuel tank skid is designed to take a beating and withstand serious off-roading! We would love to earn your business... PM sent
 
I'm interested in these sliders. I was originally looking at the RCI sliders and waiting for a possible black friday/cyber monday sale.
 
Do they only come raw? Do they sell them powder coated, etc? I really like these, but I don't want to deal with finding a shop to handle finishing the product.

Right now i have them listed as raw only on the website, but i would be willing to get a price quote from the local powder coater that i work with and get them coated before i ship them to you if the price is right.

Really nice man. Are those first pics painted? Up close that storm gray looks really dark. In the distant pictures it looks like bare metal (to me anyway). Thanks for posting.

yes they are painted, 3 coats of black sandable primer, 3 coats of "storm gray metallic" gloss paint and 3 coats of clear

Interesting design. I've been looking at sliders and had the same problems. My wife and kids are short (especially the 6-yr-old), so any sliders I get must function as steps. I have part-time access to a weld shop, but not a pipe bender, so the thought was to buy commercial sliders and modify them to fit my needs. That design, with a flat step on the top bar with an angled brace to the bottom bar is one I'd considered, and the CNC cut plates look better than anything I'd be able to do.

But is the step low enough with a lifted truck? Could you post a picture taken from down low showing where the top of the step is in relation to the sill?

The other design I considered was removable steps that were lower than the sliders. Picture something like the NFab bars with the drop steps, except I'd be able to take the drop steps off when I wanted to go off-road.

Edit for Pricing:

I notice that pictures from fargo's "South Florida" truck are being used on the C4 Fab website... nice :thumb3:

I will look through the install pics we took and see if I got that angle or something similar or maybe ill just measure the height of the step from the ground with our bilstein toytec leveling lift and take a picture of that

For sliders and skids I would recommend getting them raw and painting them yourself if your going to be using them in rocks. That way you can touch them up easily. I have sanded rust off my skids and re painted numerous times.

I agree! usually the cost of powder coat isn't real easily justified on a product that will get scratched up easily.

Im sorry, i must have skipped over your comment and did not reply earlier. About the only reference i can give you is that when your door is open, there is about a 3/4" space between the top of the tread plate and the bottom of your door. This should give you a good idea of the height on your vehicle.
