I was referring to the fact that the round tubed portion is attached at three spots whereas the 4crawlers are attached at four. I see this was not clear from my post.

The shrockworks has 3 mounting points to the frame, the 4crawlers only 2

...Ha? My 4Crawler's sliderz do have 3-mounting points to the frame...

I have these sliders and I like them alot. They are about 1/3 or more lighter than the EOE's (I had the eoe's for about 2 weeks). My only dislike is that they mount close to the pinch seam. I have a couple of dents in the seam from hard impact. Other than that, I like 'em.

I was looking at the wrong one's...
This is the one I was looking at...

This is the correct one...

Fine, you don't have to agree.

Just how much experience do you have in metal work and fabrication anyway? It seems everyone is an armchair fabricator when it comes to message boards. Everyone KNOWS exactly the right way to do things even though they have never fabricated anything.

My knowledge and experience regarding this subject comes from one of the leading manufacturers of competition off-road vehicles, both modified and built from the ground up.

But then again, they could just be incredibly stupid, thus, making you correct. :rolleyes:

Thank you for proving my point.

Aahh, but that's not what you said originally. There's a big difference between something being adequate, an optional viewpoint, or "can be fine", versus one type of material not being "stronger" than the other. The material can be proven through scientific testing. Your above comments offer a scenario which is completely different than << "I don't agree that round tube is stronger. I think a certain walled steel is the same whether round or square" >>.

Ahhh, so sue me.

I'll admit that my first post was off. Round tube is stronger than square lb per lb. But in the real world, especially in the real world of IFS trucks, people aren't running on the edge where .18 greater strength really makes a difference.

Cheap, square tube works.

My attorney has been contacted, you should be served by the end of next week.

You can also have your attorney sue me for intellectual property theft, because I'm going to steal your idea for c-channel welded to the slider mounts.



That's a damn good idea.

Wanna picture?

I could snap one tomorrow if you would like to take a little look see.

A picture would be great.

Sorry, no pic today, I was installing a Calmini steering system for a friend and then it started raining and now it's too dark.

For sure I'll get you some tomorrow. I might even take one off for you if I'm feeling real frisky.

No need to unmount them. A clear shot would be perfect.

I opened a new thread titled "Slider Mounting Modification" for everyone to see. Let me know what you think.
