least expensive sliders/jackable sillls for Disco

[captainruss]

The fabrication of them is good. All the welds are nice and smooth. The paint job is on the weaker side. I'm going to take mine off soon and repaint them myself. Rust has shown up around the heads of the bolts and the paint is flaking off there. The rest of the slider is holding up just fine. You can ask him to leave them unpainted and do it yourself when they arrive.

Need to do the same thing to my RTE bumper also. Got some trouble spots that I cannot touch up sufficiently while it is on the truck. I attribute the rusting on all this stuff to the exceptionally tough winter we had.

The finish is usually where small builders tend to save some money. Still better than powder coating which cant really be touched up after dings.

I don't know what was done to my SafariGard's, but it looks like powder coating. I can't believe it has held up as well as it has with the abuse I give my sliders. But if they hadn't come with the Kalahari package, I would never had bought $G products, they would have been RTE like the rest of the truck.

wow those DAP ones really are inexpensive.

CaptainRuss- how have yours held up?  they're really not much more money, and might be a better buy if the quality is high enough.


I mean, it's really just for the jacking-point right now, the truck is mostly stock so I don't go too extreme (but you can blow a tire anywhere and the factory bottle jack just wont cut it in the dirt).

How i look at it the more stock the rig the more protection you want because you lower to the ground allowing even on easier trails obstacles to find there way to the body or drivetrain....just my 2 cents
