I want some slider and these seem to be pretty cheap. Any one use these on there B2 and if so post some pics up. I have not measured for them but i think the 58 would be good. any input there

These will be mounted with a 3in BL so keep that in mind

Just found them because a buddy has their sticker on his yota and I got curious what it was.

Any thoughts?

i thought about doing the same thing (then i got bored and custom made my own), if i remember correctly-- the 58" will work. measure to make sure tho. the marlin stuff is usually REAL nice stuff. i've loved their quality of stuff that i've seen. i've never seen the sliders personally tho

if I could i would make them myself. but don't have proper tools. but someday I will.

all you need is a welder... you can cut metal with a hacksaw if NOTHING else... proper tools... yeah its nice. but there's always a way around it.

a sawzall and grinder can be had cheap at Harbor Freight. so if you have access to a welder (which you will have to have for that slider kit anyways) you can make it happen.

proper tools just make things a lot easier...

yeah the only welder i have is a HF 110v which i can barely get a bead started. i know how to weld because i had a class and was really good at 220v mig but this fluxcore crap i can not get good at.

well its hard to get good on a bad welder...

are you planning on doing the legs to the frame w/ that HF 110??? better get a good penetration if you plan on using them as sliders. i've came down on mine hard enough that any weaker welds probably would have broke..

 

[chrwilkins30]

no. I plan to just throw a few spot welds and then take it somewhere for them to finish welding them.

I have a 220v stick welder but i don't have the wall plug otherwise i would do the welding myself. It sucks

well just got an email back from MarlinCrawlers and they wont be shipped for 2months but shipping will only run $40. So 200 is a good price and ill just have to wait which isn't a problem. Ill just do more research in the time being and go back when they have them available.
