I'd like some, too. Preferably by Moab but I don't think that will happen. Called StinkyFab 2x and haven't gotten a call back. Running out of time, so if these fellows at Strict9 already have VX sliders rigged up and ready to go, I'd be more than willing to pony up some $ for a set.

I actually arranged to have them made last summer with Ben. He quoted me $285 to build up a pair like TusconVX's. He was apparently very busy and didn't get to it until recently.
Due to the extended build time he only charged me $250 with no shipping cost (which was worth the wait for me, having zero toy budget) on 03/29.
It cost me $176.88 to have them Line-X'ed here in Placerville on 04/20.
I had them mounted [welded on] by Ballistic Trux in Rocklin for $100 on 05/01.

Visit Stric9 Engineering online or email Ben Higuera at benhiguera@hotmail.com. Hopefully he kept his notes so he can fab up another pair for you guys much quicker.

Ben built a jig so future orders should be a breeze! I was the test fit vehicle. Unfortunately our schedules made getting together tough...plus he lives 50+ miles away.

Thanks! I'll try contacting him.

A friend and I made these over a year ago. I apologize for the quality of the pics and all the dirt. I saw the other sliders and wanted to show mine off. I used 1 3/4" pipe, a cheapo pipe bender that I bought at Harbor Freight, some laser cut plate thats often used for catwalks and painted them with some cheapo duplicolor bedliner in a can. I have had them for over a year and no complaints.

Hey TEN36VX, glad that you are happy with the sliders. I dig the Line-X finish you put on them.

Triathlete is correct, we were able to put together a jig from the set we built for TEN36VX. Looking back we should have jigged when we built the first set for TucsonVX, but we didn't know we would have such an interest in them at the time. Use of Triathlete's VX was pivotal to recreation of the second set (local test fit) and the jig. Thanks again to TEN36VX for the patience and Triathlete for the help.

Turnaround time is quick due to the jig. The sliders are meant to be weld on, but we are considering having the option to bolt on. For serious offroad use, we STRONGLY recommend welding. If you're in the Tucson area, we'll weld them up for you.

For more info, please shoot me an email or PM.

PS - Triathlete, whenever you're ready for that 4link SAS, bring it on by!
