using 4x innovations tacoma 80 inch weld ons going to fab them up myself... paint them white... dom steel with kickout 330.00 thats a good deal!
Are you in Albuquerque? If so, so am I. I took my truck to a local off-road place and asked for some custom sliders due to the length and I wanted to shop local...big mistake, they installed some 4 door Jeep sliders around 75", which are way too short to protect the entire rocker panel. Friend picked it up for me and asked why they were so short, no answer. Hopefully we get some kind of resolution because they're really just a sturdy steps right now that are too short up front and the rear. That's what I get for shopping local.

Looks good. I just don't think I could ever bring myself to weld onto the frame. I just wouldn't want to introduce the stress points the heat will cause. The other thing for me is I really use rock sliders, so I like to be able to take them off to repair if needed. I'd much rather drill holes than weld them.

I thought about all that.. but id never remove them and if this box frame id have to drill 32 holes and run bolts all the way through and plate the other side as well... I just going to put the stress points in the rear of the ole brain lol.. and go with it... cheers!

got the rock sliders done.... put some 3m grip tape on top for traction and also mounted my road shower, but I will have to relocate it due to the fact I cant unzip my tent but it would have been nice in this location...... Truck going back in shop tomorrow to get front end down, so I'm ready to see how it turns out now....thanks for looking guys..
