NJshadow93's 2006 SR5 Build

[Alex T4R]

White Knuckle Off Road Sliders arrived two days ago and I installed them yesterday. Installation was pretty simple, I installed them by myself with a floor jack. Overall I'm happy with the experience. They were at my door 3 weeks after placing the order and I'm very pleased with the fitment, quality, and protection. I have yet to test them out in the rocks, but the whole rocker panel appears to be well protected now without sacrificing ground clearance.

Mike very nice sliders looks sharp. What did you use to paint them?

Thanks Alex. I used Rustoleum Hammered Black.

Also, my truck is on the White Knuckle Off Road website, customer rigs, page 9.

Nice looking sliders. I checked em out online and they are cheaper than the other ones everyone gets. I may get some.

Awesome, thanks for the pics !

Sliders look great man. I've been on the fence and was waiting for yours to show up before making my decision. The only last hang up for me is if they'll interfere with my RCI skids.

Anyway you can snap a pic of the center mounting leg where it mounts to the frame? If there's an interference issue I'm going to ask John @ White Knuckle to move the center mount slightly fore or aft to clear the skid.

Truck is looking great - keep up the good work.

Thanks man, I like them a lot. Just snapped the pics you asked for, sorry truck is a little dirty under there from some wheeling, hope this is what you wanted. If not, let me know, I can always take more.

Thanks! Judging by the pics it looks like the middle bracket lines up exactly where the skid mounts to the frame. I'll have to see if John can move the center support a few inches to the rear.

If you're willing to measure the support spacing so I can figure out how far back he'd have to adjust it I'd really appreciate it. Looks like 3-4" further back would work.

Repainted my sliders today with some Flat Black Industrial Enamel.

I took these pics tonight too really quick when I brought them in the garage for the night because I remembered you asked for some measurements. I really hope this helps. If not, let me know, I can take measurements tomorrow before putting them back on the truck.

Mike - you are the man! That's a huge help - might just have to order 'em up today. Thanks again!

The paint I used originally did not hold up after some wheeling. Light scrapes from branches took the paint right off and surface rust started to appear so I just decided to use this stuff since I have had good luck with it in the past. Should hold up much better now. When I pulled them off, there were lots of chips in the paint just from daily driving as well. It needed to be done for sure.

Awesome Matt, looking forward to seeing them on your truck. Great to hear John is accepting custom requests as well. I had a great experience dealing with White Knuckle Off Road too. Glad I can help.

Yeah when I did mine it seemed like the paint wasn't holding up right after paint and in a day, but I didn't have a chance to install them right away so they dried up really good and it seems that it is holding up really good. Mine was PITA to place them on the truck by myself, so I'm not rushing to take them off. Maybe when I get the skids and will be painting them then I retouch the sliders if they need to be retouched.

What enamel paint did you use?

Yeah mine have been in the garage since last night and they're going back on today or tomorrow so they should be fully dry. Hopefully from here on out, touch ups will be small enough to leave them on. Glad I went bolt on though!

I used the Rustoleum stuff, got it at Home Depot. Have used it before, including on my friend's rims which are holding up great.

Haha just installed them a little while ago. Got a crappy cell phone pic right now, working on something else with my truck at the moment too

New LED on the left, old halogen on the right.

As usual, the pic doesn't do these things justice...
