Who ordered the Strict9 sliders?

Ben,

I just shot you an email...

I'm ready to move forward with a purchase if we're able to work out the minor details of what I'm looking for.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Biju: You doin' the dragon? Cool.

Saw a pipe bender and a welder advertised in the paper yesterday and bought them just for the heluvit...Full roll cage (ala Land Rover 110) anyone?

Those sliders are sweet. I am going to be getting with him about those and some front and rear bumpers that will mount through the cladding and take a real beating! :smack:

Biju...if you haven't already, you might want to contact Ben through his web site since I don't think he cruises this site to often.

Hey Biju, I got your email and replied. Keep your eyes out for it just incase it ends up in the junk folder! I'm looking forward to making another set!

Triathlete, I've been MIA, but I'm back! We've been absolutely slammed with projects, which is great! We just finished doing a truggy conversion on an 83 toyota. Removed the cab and frame from cab back, 4 linked and 16" Fox Airshox in the rear, flat belly conversion with custom skid plate, fuel cell, LED brake lights, headlights, hydro assist steering, put a bunch of DOM tubing on it and mounted 42" IROK tires on our own Flame Beadlock kits. Took us 13 weekends. The truck came in as a complete truck with only a mild lift and 35's. Pic below.

I can build you a set at the same time as Biju's if you would like. Would you like that 4 link SAS with your front and rear bumpers ;) ?

Just waiting on that lottery Ben! As soon as I get some $$$ saved up I'll be giving you a call though.

I don't wanna be the guinea pig, but I'd LOVE to see somebody do that to a VX!!! (pic above). Full cage?... nice.

Ben - I can't wait for the sliders! (oh, I guess I just 'told'. *sigh.) Thanks again.

-biju.

Those red beadlocks would look sweet on my VX!

Thats cool. I like them.

I *think* they're getting closer to finishing the sliders and shipping them to me. I'm really excited...

I see a recommendation for a welder above, but want to shop around for prices. Anybody in the Denver area know of other reliable weld shops?

-biju.

Strict9 finished my sliders, and shipped them out to me... Here's the result:

They look spectacular. Thanks Strict9 team!!!

-biju.

Lookin' good Beej!...how ya gonna finish em' ?

BTW, clean your garage...Uugh! :razzgray:

Hmmm... dunno yet. Actually I thought I'd just leave them as is (raw). Although the thought of having them powder coated does sound good.

TucsonVX - your's are silver, did you paint them (spraypaint) or did you have them powder coated?

Tomdietrying - how did you finish yours?

What did you finish yours in, dub?

-biju.

We're making these for ANY size rims with a few different styles. They can be a full DIY beadlock kit including inner and out rings with all grade 8 hardware and button head capscrews. Or they can be rock rings, where you just weld the outer to your rim. Aluminum kits are an option. Here are a few examples of the designs, but more to come!

I wouldn't leavem' raw dude....they'll just rust & get ugly real quick. :mad:

If it was me, I'd stay away from anything that doesn't come in a can. (powdercoating)
If you make good use of them, & I know you will...you'll eventually need to "re-adjust" the paint. My point being, rattle can more E-Z than powdercoat.

I finished mine in a coat of primer & a couple coats of spray on bedliner that I found at Mills Fleet/Farm. I like the slight texture it gives them & E-Z touch up is a + too.

Also, remember to douche everything underneath with primer so you don't get the "rusties" where they get zapped to the frame rails. ;) (after the welding's done)

Can't wait to see em' in person when next May FINALLY rolls around. :)
