Slider sweetness

[Calcagno21]

Finally built some sliders for the runner the other weekend. They're pretty simple in design. I had u bolts bent up that fit around my frame which allowed me to easily bolt the sliders instead of weld them to my frame. Main tube is inch and three quater .120 wall, and outer tube is inch and one half, also 120 wall. The mounting plates are 1/4" thick with 1/8" flat stock wrapped around them to keep them from flexing when being tightened down. 1x3 tubing was used to connect the mounting plates to main tube. Well anyways heres some pics.

I'm going to attempt this soon. I need to practice my welding some more first. I like your design.

Looks good, what primer did you use on that?

 

[Calcagno21]

primer is just rattle can, it was duplicolor, sealer primer. I just used what i had laying around hence the two different colors. same stuff just different in color. The black is Dupilicolor's truck bed coating.

Sliders look amazing! Side note, do you have a build thread anywhere for that sweet rig?

 

[Calcagno21]

That is awesome, I wish you live closer to me so you can build my mounting plates. Got the BAMF sliders weld option, but like you dont want to heat up my frame by welding them.

Nice fab work. They look VERY similar to the ones I put on from white knuckle offroad.

 

[Calcagno21]

Thanks for all the positive input guys, really appreciate it.
