  • Under $250 I build these sweet rock sliders and test them on the rubicon trail!
    Also in this video I install the Trail Gear body mount relocation brackets.

    I think what makes this build so great is the character the truck has. It's no show truck. Dents, scratches, scrapes; you even made your own scar, learned what you needed and added it yourself. Truly a DIY build and we are all living vicariously through you

    Those welds look good, like what I would expect if I paid somebody to do it. I recommend the textured bedliner spray for the sliders and bumpers (if you haven't used it yet). Lays pretty nice.

    Hey man I haven't finished watching the video yet and I've commented on here before. TLDR; I work at a Toyota only 4x4 shop. When we do our custom body mount relocation we always weld a plate onto the frame, then weld the new body mount onto that welded plate. We do this the the body mount doesnt rip right off the frame!! These toyota frames are super thin and flexy! Much love and I know that this is all a learning process!

    I’ve never seen a welding issue on automotive stuff but I’ve seen some weird stuff welding on semis, disconnect the negative and the positive. The ground for the welder can become a ground for the rest of the truck too and become a problem. Wish I had a welder at home so I could have made my own sliders too 😭
