How does it feel to actually be able to call someone else's pictures bad for a change?

I now have to find time and someone to help me put them on!!

The packaging that Shrockworks uses is pretty damn good

Sooo many trips in the Runner to the new digs. #movingsucks

Nice DannyLlama, I really dig those

Questions for anyone that already has a set, I noticed a lot of others have three attachment points to the frame, is that what is meant by "2 or 3 tube supports" on the order page, can anyone clarify that?


Thanks

Looking good, though, they look quite different from the ones listed on the Shrockworks site. Is yours a special order with information not available on their website? In looking at their drop down menu for options, they only list the Finish, Rocker Trim for non-Trails, and Tub supports from 2 or 3...

I think that is the number of supports running between the square tube and the outer round tube...the number of attachment points to the frame stay the same I believe.

From what I know, you can request a third attachment point but I believe it's like an extra 50 or 70 bux... Extra weight too .

I don't know how many people on this form opted for the third leg (so to speak). I think most have the 2. Is that what you are asking about?

I didn't go through their conventional online ordering steps.
I called them up and worked out the details. They are one of the most easy to work with vendors that I have come across.

Call them and you will get either Justin or Mark. Ask about their new step sliders with dimples and i'm sure they will know what you are referring to.

More information from Justin @ http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/139557-name-these-sliders-2.html Check out post #26.

I had them push out the second tube another inch or so (Wife's request) just for a wider step.

Good luck!

Thanks, that is what I thought but was not totally sure since I had seen a lot of other builders use three body point connections.

Ooops sorry I missed your post.

Yes exactly, thanks. I guess my concern is I would rather pay an extra 50 to know that I can really ride the slide on it without tweaking it.

If anything, I bet these dimple plates (like danny got) would add more structural rigidity to the slider than an extra leg? Regardless, the dimple plates look bad ass and I think that's what you should get :becky:

Or just go overkill and get the 3rd leg along with the dimple plates, lol.

You can put these on by yourself with the use of a floor jack and towel between the slider and jack. I put my MT sliders on by myself. No pressure! :behindsofa:

This wasn't today but sometime last summer. This thing was a monster, as usual video doesn't do it justice. It didn't budge without using two pulleys.

It was fun since we had some protection from the jetty. 7.5 ft at 9 seconds. Even with the 20mph offshore winds it was still fun. Here are a few pics I took.

I've never really had a problem with the boards on the Bajarack. Both the fish (5'8) and the Firewire (6'0) are super flat. I do run a towel underneath but when i don't have the towel, I push them as far forward as possible so the tail pad/fins are in the sunroof cutout.

I'm getting the RTT from "frontrunner". It's called the "Featherlight". At 76 lbs and a little under 8 inches high, it's the lightest/lowest RTT you can find. Frontrunner has their own rack with a completely different mounting system, but after talking to a few guys there, they're certain it can be mounted with some minor modification.

very cool. thanks for the info. definitely post up more pics when you get your new RTT/rack setup mounted. :cheers:

Just drove back from a long weekend of Surfing and camping.

where did you get that looped bungee between the rear clothing hooks? 2 of those would be perfect fishing rod holders:reddance:

Agreed - totally doable with just 1 person + jacks and towels. The xreas line actually help to "hold" the sliders in place once you position the sliders in between the frame and hydraulic lines.

It's climbing gear better known as a daisy chain, you can get them from black diamond equipment, blue water, metolius, CMI, ect. ect. ect.

Perfect! I pulled the hooks that are there. I removed the bolt, melted a hole in the daisy chain and reinstalled the bolt. So far it's the only thing that will stay in place. I originally had a bar going across but between the dog hitting it and it flying off when off-road, it been the perfect replacement.

I can barely change a battery on my own ... lol

I'm working my way slowly into working on my own truck.
