any one have dealings w/ 4xinovations or wabfab? i've decided to go w/ sliders from one of thoes two companies. one will be cheaper (due to shipping) for a DOM slider kit w/ kickout.
-
me
-
which one? good, bad? reccomend?
-
i go tthe HREW with the kick out.
wab-fab helps with welding and makes the slider attachment for a high lift.
-
what kind of help?
-

how do they help?
-
they (WAB-FAB) help them (4X) weld the crap they make together sometimes, so it can be mailed to you.
i dont know what your looking for, for an answer.....thats all i got
-
Buy the pieces Jeremy, then come see me and we'll weld them. It'll take half a day to fit and burn them all the way. It only took an hour and a half to weld Justins brackets on his 8.8 and they are in tighter spots. I have made a set before too...Looksy:
Installing them:

Nice! Now you can pull a Hot-Rod and just beat the snot out of the rocks in your way! ;D
-
dude, it help's with pivoting around trees and crap. def benificial. and if i had a belly skid, i'd do a lot more.
-
Full belly skid will come some day. If i ever sell my engine, or w/ the oct bonus.
I've seen you use your sliders, Jon. I can see the bennifit. There are areas i get scared doing cause of my body panels. i like a purty truck (something about chicks usually not to fond of riding around in a beat up looking rig)

*arches an eyebrow and looks amused* I thought you wanted to find a chic who was into all the same shit we were!? Bent up body panels is one way to make sure she is dude!
Don't you know!?! If she can hang with battle scars and starts proudly showing off where you smacked a tree as much as you do....then you know you landed a good one.
*Grins* just my .02 cents.
LMAO!
back to topic - Scott's awesome at fabbing rock sliders, I'll see if I can look around for those older pics, so you can see the work he did on our ZR2...man I miss that thing... :'(
-
I got an email from Adam at 4xinnovations, he said mine will be made w/ the current batch. that means they should be done next week :D:D
JD, as cool as it is that you are as much a rock nut at Scott, some times its nice to have your own hobbies, for when you just need to get away, or just so you are your own person. My only desire is that she not hate it, and be up for riding along on occasion.
-
or if she had her own rig and blew you.....out of the sky. with her wheeling skills.
*edited*
-
or if shy she had her won rig and blew you.....out of the sky.
???
-
sliders are being shipped today :D:D:D:D:D
-
They should be here thursday!! too bad i have duty on saturday :'(
-
too bad, don't forget you'll need a grinder and some primer for the job. for prep work (grinder) and clean up (primer).
cant wait to see them on bambi.
-
i've got both :D
-
word. then it will be pretty easy for you then.
-
Just got them today :) unfortunatly Adam forgot my slider adapter, I emailed him and i'm sure he'll send it right out. Scott and I will be doing the install sunday afternoon! Oh Yeah!
-
pretty much need a full set of jack stands to help set up the sliders and angle. also, weld the posts to the frame first then the slider to the posts.
cant wait to see it.
-
