Ok Pete, I will put your Gullwing sliders in the mail today. I'm still refining these so thanks for testing them for me!!! A few photos of them on my K10. The tube is 1/4" Stainless Steel and the mount is a steel bar. I left the sliders natural, so no paint to scratch off. Tried to keep everything rounded, so no angles to hang up. The stainless should not have a lot of friction, so they should slide or rocks? Now you can see why I call them "Gullwing"! Enjoy! Ernie |

Looked like it, but sometimes hard to be sure from pictures. Looks like you cut the outer bed tube cross parts on both sides, removed rear upper shock tower cross brace and dis something with rear cage to frame mounts. Stock length lower arms all around? Current battery? Btw nice videos climbing the slabs. Ernie great tip to seal tape edges with coat of clear. Always burnish the tape edges with thumb nail or something before painting helps too. Tamiya makes the best masking tape. Last edited by Natedog; 11-28-2016 at 06:51 PM. |

All stock length arms only cut the crossmember out of cage at rear shock mounts and zippty do tied the bottom of cage at mounts to frame so can be a flop top. I got my sliders more pics to come. I really hope some people don't show up for the southeast shootout so i can run it there LIFE IS GOOD |
