Sport Trac Slider build has begun..

[IZwack]

Its an off road vehicle - rust, bruises and exposed metal are to be expected

I know a guy with a XIOM powder coating system. It sprays hot powder coat over anything, and, the coating can be built up over 1/2" thick. This allows for touch ups. He is mobile also. Just saying.

the rattle can bed liner will come off so fast you'll be re-spraying every time you leave the driveway. And when you scrape a big chunk off, it'll never look right if you just spray back over it. The undercoating stuff is asphalt based and will come off even easier...

Those sliders look great though!

x 2 ! :d

How much will that cost though? And do you have some more info ( location, etc)

Also just to add, I am adding UHMW on the main slider so it will slide on that plastic instead of the metal.

Got the drivers side done. Now all I need is to get the UHMW for the bottom of the sliders.

Lookin great!, U will use them at Smorr more likley than Moab?


LOL at least Greg used his slider to full potential at SMORR
We stood on them to keep him from rolling
We hooked to them to pull away from tree
saved his rockers on many Rocks LOL

So likley similar use will occur with yours which equals good times!

Look like we need to do another slider build for Jen.

Just come on down, we can get you set up.

Well I had to modify my sliders a little, due my sons feet falling through the extensions when he gets into the truck, so here is my mod. I added pieces of 1/8" steel to make a step plate and got some grip tape from Lowes, it had the reflective stripe on it, and I thought it was kinda cool so I left it.

 

[gmanpaint]

That's pretty cool Chad. Good thinking putting a step plate on them.

Started playing around on SolidWorks today. Hope you don't mind me somwhat copying your build. I'm really impressed with these sliders compared to all the others I've seen.
