Started on my sliders today.

Here is today's progress:

I hope to finish welding them to the brackets tomorrow and get them painted up when I have a second set of hands available at my disposal

Sliders are now connected to my Mayhem Metal works brackets!!!

Whoo! So stoked to get some paint on these bad boys and bolt them on for the last time!!

Here are some pics of them mounted up pre-paint

I'll have to check into that for you, all I remember is that I bought it at a local shop and their carried this brand rather then Fire stick

Thanks I have a little wii but the base is too tall to clear my garage with antenna removed
Yours looks a lot shorter

Got the rest of the finishing touches made to my sliders and transfer-case skid, now just going to bolt things up once the Super Bowl is over...

Sliders are on for their final fitment!!

Here are pics of the sliders mounted up once and for all!! whoop!

So stoked for how well these turned out, to me they look like they belong there, with some minor tweaks (add traction to the top of the tube) these will fulfill every criteria that I was hoping to get out of a set of custom sliders!



Any suggestions of what I should use on the top of the tube for added traction!?

We use this 3M product at work. It works great, lasts long and provides just the right amount of grip. We use it in the back of cargo airplanes so it should be good enough for the Alpha!:ylsmoke:

Thanks! that stuff will work great!

I found some local stuff that I think I am going to try out first, but will prob have to end up ordering the 3M stuff

I ended picking up some of these, I figured i would give it a more "factory" look:

They are just peel and stick... hope they stay on for a while!

Got some Rancho replacement leaf springs because the ones that came with the lift have sagged back down lower then stock height...
To prevent this from happening again I took the new pack to a local spring shop and got them to add a leaf after the main spring with a military wrap just incase my main spring ever breaks. I'll be picking up and installing tomorrow then testing on the trail Sat

Got the leaf pack installed in time to go do a trail run with a local club!

These packs make my T feel like a whole new truck!

Now that everything has had time to settle, put about 550km's on the highway 35km's on the trail, I am sitting at 4 1/4" over stock... perfect!

Here are some shots from the weekend:
