Finally got a set of sliders for my truck. There are a few companies out there offering true load-bearing rockerpanel protection.
I chose the BudBuilt sliders...
I have a 1UZFE alum. block 6bolt main V8 out of a '94 Lexus SC400 that i am slipping into my '87 runner. 75lbs heavier than the 22re, 260hp/260#ft. stock. Hasnt made it off the engine stand in my garage yet, but on the list......
I have ICON's on my Tundra and they are great. I have a set of Radflo's going on the front of my '87 4runner 3-link. Radflo is definitely worth taking a look at- Glenn is a stand up guy, and will work till your happy - the product is a blend of the best of King and Fox coilovers
another thread on this subject- http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1000004 , with more of the same ;)
there are ALWAYS two sides to a story and everyone has an opinion, you just have to decide what will work best for you. sliders can be attached both ways and work perfectly. are...
mounting sliders to the body that are capable of taking plenty of abuse and certainly able to hold the weight of a vehicle is nothing new, though i venture to guess an average Lexus owner is not willing to do the bodywork. not for the faint of heart
Heres a great example of a very well done set...
i have been using my ARB 50qt fridge for a year now with the OEM rear socket without issue. It does power off after 2hrs of engine off, but no problems when engine is running or a short stopover. It insulates well enough to keep cold items cold overnight.
Not a fan of the front bumper, sticks...
HaHa, it wouldnt happen with the camper on! It would, of course, be quite a hassle but possible if needed. Hope i never have to do it. I carry a plug kit, and unless it is a sidewall gash, safely seals most leaks.
For better or worse Frame-flex is always present and the bumper was mounted leaving a 1/2" gap off the fender to accommodate.
Regarding the frame-flex-- Does anyone have an opinion on how much flex will be affected with a set of full length weld-on sliders?
