Trail Gear sliders?!
#51
If you are going to be a smartass at least use proper english.
I don't even think the actual slider will take it .250" wall DOM is what my bumper is made of and that is bent in spots as are the .250" wall DOM lower links on my setup. I might be able to get away with a .375-.5" wall DOM sliders only reason I popped in here is everyone seems to be talking them up
difference in application... mine are to keep my truck as strait as I can on the occasional tree or rock strike, not trying to pivot the truck on boulders constantly, my sliders would handle that BUT not the mounts, they would need more metal to reinforce for sure it I was going to use them like you do.

Those sliders will last in any type of condition as long as you are fairly easy on the skinny pedal. I have seen built up rigs running the same DOM on the rubicon and not had any problems. But if going fast on rocks is what your about you have to expect things not holding up.

Depends on the vehicle you are in. I have seen JK's walk out just fine, but you can dodge the vast majority of the bigger obstacles in one due to wheel base. I was more trying to point out the trails are a bit more difficult were I am. My ranger also weighs in the 5400lb range with my normal wheeling gear...

honestly if you guys are breaking solid links then you are probably using the wrong metal. it should bend far before it breaks. at least that way you have a hope of driving back home or to the trailer.
as for the sliders i am looking at these because they are the cheapest i found on the market and will hold up to anything i will be willing to put my truck through
