thanks guys. Black BII, yeah why not

Im going to use the old lights as reverse lights and integrate them into a rear tube bumper that will wrap around the rear of the bed. Probably get some 8" spots on the front. I may also add a stinger, still kinda undecided. .

I did all the notching using my angle grinder. The POS harbor freight notcher destroyed itself on the first attempt. What else did I expect.

i love your sliders can you get some pics of how there mounted. also what are the measurements on the square? also pics of your ex radius arms?

 

[crawlin91]

Ill be doing some fab work on the ranger today so Ill snap a few pics for ya. The square tubing is 2x3, the bent hrew on the outside of the slider is 1.5 " and I attached the sliders using 2x2 .25 wall square tube and L brackets.

I think I used about 7 and a half ft or so of 11 gauge 2x3. I have trimmed fenders and basically just measured from fender to fender where the small bolts are.

this is how I attached my sliders

 

[Downey]

sweet dude look sweet i was looking for the thickness 11 gauge is what 1/8th?

 

[crawlin91]

something like that. they are fairly stout. You can run a strip of steel across the bottom outside edge to beef them up a bit and keep them from denting.

nah not worried about it have some 2x3x1/8th tubing laying around
