opinions wanted on wabfab HREW Tubing Rock Sliders

[troyboy162]

well im in the market for sliders. i wanted clamp on but they are not available for 4runners. so id like some weld on one with at least rear kick outs. i found these on wabfab and i think they will work well for me. aka i dont have tons of money...the truck im protecting is only worth 4k...and he seems active in the community, so id like to support that.

im looking at the HREW tubing ones

also id like peoples opinions on what length to get for a 96 4runner, 60 inch or 66?

thank you for any responses

gah, I think your looking at the diy ones..Some people say that HREW is stronger but i personally wouldnt know the difference
Are you prepared to weld up your own sliders ?

I suppose if you remember what scott and I were saying about the length of sliders for my truck, im think 66 would give you that extra protection..Would it be that hard to...walk outside and measure


Also, I cant remember the company that wab (brian) gets his sliders from, but i have heard good things

HREW is gonna dent or bend before it breaks. The DOM, if its cold rolled has stresses already in it, and will probably break before it bends too much. Pick your poison. In structural steel we always use a structural grade of HREW, due to its flexibility.

wabfab's sliders are actually from 4xinnovations. i have the 60 inch version, they are technically too short. that 66" length is perfect for your 96 4runner, and is what i suggested to adam at 4xi for the 3rd gen runners (pinchweld length is aprox. 68 inches). i have the hrew. they are dented in and bashed pretty good, but no worries. unless you wheel HARD, the hrew should be ok.

id deff buy sliders from brian at wabfab again, or from adam at 4xinnovations, both are awesome to deal with.

Call up or email Brian.

I had a few questions when i bought mine, he patiently answered all my questions and made 100% sure i understood and got the exact thing i needed. He wont steer you wrong.

don't forget that since you're in socal, you've got lots of local options too! Not sure about out in Victorville but come down to LA/OC there are tons of shops here that either have production runs or can quickly make ya a set.

I think some are from 4xInnovations and some are from Trail-Gear (I think the non-kickout versions are Trail-Gear)

Troy, you can also check out All Pro Off-road. They are in Hemet (not that far of a drive from the high desert). Talk to Pepe, he can get you set up with whatever you need.
