Need help with slider purchase.....

[JB_96LTD]

I have a 96 Limited with the bigger fender flares. I am going to buy a set of sliders from Brian at WabFab and can't decide between the 60" or 66" length and kick out or no kick out. I took a measurement from the inside to inside of the fender flares and came out to be right at 60". I am thinking I may want the length to extend to 66" so I will protect the flares better. What do you all think?

Im not sure on length, but I think the kickouts are sexy. :)
Take a look at the Sliders from 4XInnovations (link in my sig) They have some really nice ones with and without kickouts, Adam makes quality stuff!!

This may be a silly question....Do the kickouts go on the front or the back of the truck?

On the back.

take a look at the link in my sig, theres an album of pics called sliders. i purchased those same ones, with the rear kickout, at 60 inch length. while im extremely happy with them, i think a 66 inch length would have been better.

I'm going through the same debate myself. I will pull the tape measure out after work and check it out. You also have to think about where your 4runner is going in the future. If you plan on running tires bigger than 33's at some point, you have to think about them interfering with a longer slider. I will be thinking about this heavily myself before i buy anything. But i know for a fact i will buy from wabfab, everything i've read about brian's products and customer service have been extremely good reviews.

I think you did a good job on the sliders Sean. I may go with the 66" but I think the 60" looks good on your rig.

By the way, are those wheels Cragar soft 8's? I like those wheels.....Do you think they would look good on my millenium silver truck?

Those are the same sliders I want to get. I was thinking 60", but after seeing Sean's slider photos, they do look rather short. Maybe longer would be better.

I didn't see 66" long sliders on WabFab's site, only 60" and 68". Am I missing something?

Thanks

ive been talking with traxman, who makes wabfab's sliders (at least when i bought mine) and he agreed that 66 inch will be a better fit. i feel 68 may be too long, and interfere with tires, especially 35 inch tires.

from end of pinchweld to end of pinchweld is 68 inches.

[JB_96LTD]

I agree. I am going to order the 66" from Wabfab today.

Just so you guys know, we can build the sliders to ANY length you want. If there isn't a length listed you thing will work for your truck just give Brian or I a shout and we'll build them how you want.

As for getting a kick out or not, you should get the kick out if your rear wheel well flares out at all. It will help protect that flare more than if the tubing just went straight back.
