I figure I know a bit, but putting all of this information in one location might be very useful to newbies, and maybe it will become a wiki one day. Plus, I want opinions on what I should be looking for in sliders.
It’s time for sliders. What are your recommendations on them?
I like the look of square tube better, but I’m having a hard time finding them pre-built on line to order. Does square tube have any disadvantages to round?
Whom should I order from? Any bad experiences with a particular company?
I’m just learning to weld, should I even attempt at welding my own, and then having someone weld to the frame, or should I settle on pre-built?
What are the purposes of scab plates and gussets?
Do they make a good step?
How should they be installed to make a good step? (I.e. angle, distance from body, total distance from frame, etc.
I have settled on welding them on the frame, but I will also include more information on bolt on’s later to complete this as a wiki in the future.
thanks for the info! anything that is useful will be put into wiki form later, and then you can add more. just want a basis of slider tech.
